FAQs and Troubleshooting

Does my AV processor correct for the latency (time delay) of the wireless unit?
Yes, this will be reflected in a longer than normal subwoofer distance, as shown under the set-up section of the AV processor. An additional 14-20 feet (beyond the actual subwoofer distance) is normal.

I keep hearing interference artifacts or experiencing signal drop-outs – how can I correct for this?
Always try to keep a line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver units with no hard barriers or walls between them. Avoid placing other 2.4 GHz devices near the units like wireless phones, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, etc.
