English Thank You Congratulations on your purchase of the Klipsch RoomGroove music center. The RoomGroove is a wireless transceiver utilizing Wireless KlipschCastTM Technology to transmit and receive CD-quality audio signals to and from other KlipschCast components. The RoomGroove features an iPod® dock and auxiliary input for connecting your favorite components and enjoying them locally or transmitting them throughout your home. The RoomGroove is a true two-way, stereo sound system incorporating two long-throw woofers and two MicroTractrixTM Horn-loaded tweeters in a ported enclosure. This system provides the accuracy, detail and output that will bring your music to life as only Klipsch can. The RoomGroove is designed to work with Apple universal well inserts. Several inserts are supplied with your RoomGroove system. If your iPod came with an insert, it can also be used in the RoomGroove. To configure the RoomGroove for your specific iPod, select the appropriate well insert and place it in the universal well as shown in the diagram. Now you are ready to dock your iPod. While your iPod is docked, its battery is charging (until it is fully charged). Unpack the Box Unpack the entire contents of the shipping box and make sure you have the following items. 0 0 To listen to the docked iPod, press the "Listen" button on the RoomGroove or the remote until the "Listen" light becomes blue and you hear the iPod. The iPod can be directly accessed by pressing the "iPod" button on the RoomGroove's remote control. Connecting an Auxiliary Source RoomGroove Remote Control 0 0 The RoomGroove offers a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary input on the rear of the device. To connect an auxiliary device, simply plug the audio output of the device into the "Aux Input" on the rear of the RoomGroove. You must use a 3.5mm stereo cable. Power Supply Universal Well Inserts Place the RoomGroove on a sturdy surface. Plug the power cord into the rear of the RoomGroove and then into a standard wall outlet. The RoomGroove is now ready to listen to any source being transmitted with wireless KlipschCast Technology. Docking and Listening to an iPod The RoomGroove is intelligently designed to easily accommodate all iPods. Touching the Klipsch logo on the front of the RoomGroove will reveal the retractable iPod dock. The RoomGroove must be powered on for the drawer to open and close. When the dock is extended, touching the dock again will cause it to retract. The dock will not move when an iPod is docked. The dock will automatically retract when no iPod is present and the RoomGroove is in standby mode (the power LED will be red). To listen to the auxiliary source, press the "Listen" button on the RoomGroove or the remote until the "Listen" light becomes blue and you hear the auxiliary device. This can also be done by pressing the "Aux" button on the RoomGroove's remote control. Note: The "Listen" light will be blue when listening to either a local iPod or a device connected to the local auxiliary input. If both inputs are in use, the "Listen" button will go from the Aux to the iPod in that order. 2 Transmitting Audio from the RoomGroove The RoomGroove is designed to allow you to transmit the iPod or the auxiliary source so that it can be received and played by other KlipschCast components. To transmit from the RoomGroove, simply select the source you wish to transmit by pressing the "Listen" button, or the desired source on the remote (iPod or Aux), and then press the "Transmit" button. The selected source is now being transmitted throughout your home and is available to other KlipschCast-enabled products. Transmitting Audio from Two RoomGrooves In systems not incorporating a CS-700 system (or if the cinema system in not intended to be part of the wireless multi-room system), two RoomGrooves can transmit simultaneously. To enable this feature, all components of the wireless multi-room system must be assigned to a home code from 5 to 9. Selecting a home code from 5 to 9 will allow a second RoomGroove to occupy the wireless channel which was previously assigned to the CS-700. (See "Setting the Home Code" for more detailed information.) If two RoomGrooves are transmitting and you wish to transmit from a third and control which wireless channel will be used for the new transmission, you must first select the broadcast you wish to terminate by pressing the "Listen" button until that source is heard. Then press transmit and the new source will occupy that wireless channel and stop the transmission of the other source. You should now hear the new source in all the locations in which the previous source was playing. The new source should now be available to all active listeners. Note: If a RoomGroove is transmitting and a second RoomGroove is told to transmit, the second RoomGroove will bump the first RoomGroove and occupy that wireless channel. If you wish to configure your wireless multi-room system to allow two RoomGrooves to simultaneously transmit, see the "Transmitting Audio from Two RoomGrooves" section of this manual. Listening to Other KlipschCast Devices with Your RoomGroove The RoomGroove is designed to allow you to listen to sources connected to, or integrated into, other KlipschCast components such as another RoomGroove or the CS-700 DVD Entertainment System. To listen to a source being transmitted by another KlipschCast device, simply press the "Listen" button to access the transmitted source. The "Listen" light becomes red (or purple for a second wireless source) when a wireless source is received and played. A flashing color indicates no source is available on that channel. Note: All devices in the wireless multi-room system must be set to the same home code in order for transmissions to take place. Setting the Home Code The home code dial on the rear of your RoomGroove allows you to select a code specific to all of your KlipschCast components to avoid interference from neighboring systems. The home code numbers range from 0 to 9 with 0 set as the default. All of your KlipschCast components will initially be set to 0 and allow one wireless channel to broadcast audio from a cinema system and the second wireless channel to broadcast wireless audio from a RoomGroove. The home code number should only be changed for one of two reasons: 1) There is interference from a neighboring system ­ If a neighboring system in interfering with your wireless system, simply change all KlipschCast components to another home code. KlipschCast components will only transmit and receive audio from components on the same home code. Home codes 0 through 4 can be used for systems transmitting audio from a cinema system and a RoomGroove (home codes 5 through 9 are reserved for systems transmitting from two separate RoomGrooves and no cinema system). 2) You wish to transmit audio from two RoomGrooves (not a cinema system) ­ If you wish to transmit audio from two separate RoomGrooves and not a cinema system, simply choose a home code from 5 to 9 and change all KlipschCast components to that home code. KlipschCast components will only transmit and receive audio from components on the same home code. Once the home code has been changed, you must disconnect and reconnect the power cord from the wall outlet for the change to be made. This will change the home code and allow the component to talk to other KlipschCast components set to the same home code. Sources and Colors of the "Listen" Light Blue always indicates a local source. Red and purple indicate wireless channels. If the color is flashing, the source or wireless channel is not available. For systems transmitting from a CS-700 system and RoomGroove Local source (iPod or Aux) = blue Transmitted Cinema System source = red Transmitted RoomGroove source = purple For systems transmitting from two RoomGrooves Local source (iPod or Aux) = blue 1st Transmitted RoomGroove source = red 2nd Transmitted RoomGroove source = purple Transmitting Audio from the CS-700 In a multi-room system incorporating a CS-700 cinema system (sold separately), the RoomGroove remote can be used to directly select sources from the CS-700 once the CS-700 has been selected by the RoomGroove's "Listen" button. The CS-700 will default to transmit its local source (the source selected for listening/viewing on the CS-700 system) until another source is selected.
