mode will be exited and the channel previ-
ously set will be kept .

Note:

The receiver units cannot be set to the same

channel .

If, with the transmitter switched off, the re-
spective segment bar A or B on the display
indicates reception, interference signals or
signals from other transmitters are being re-
ceived . In this case, select a different channel .

3) Switch the transmitters on and set them to

the channels of the receiver module: Set one
transmitter to the channel of receiver unit A
and set the second transmitter to the channel
of receiver unit B .

The respective segment bars on the dis-

play will indicate the strength of the radio
signals received . Use the controls (2) to adjust
the desired volume for each receiver unit .
If no reception is indicated or if the reception
is poor, check if:

– the batteries of the transmitter are dis-

charged .

– the reception is disturbed by metal objects

or other high-frequency sources .

– the distance between the transmitter and

the receiver module is too long .

– the threshold value for interference sup-

pression (squelch) is too high (see chapter
7 .1 .2) .

7.1.1 Changing the group setting

(for operation with 2 receiver modules)

The unit can be extended by another 2-chan-
nel receiver module (available as article TXA-
1020MR) . To set the four transmission channels
via channel scan, change the group setting of
both receiver modules:
1) Switch off the receiver units A and B . Then

keep the button SET pressed while switching
on a receiver unit . The display will indicate the
current group setting

(with the number

flashing) .

2) Use the button

△

▽

to switch to

3) Press the button SET to exit the group setting

mode . The squelch setting mode will be acti-
vated; to exit the mode, press the button SET .

Note:

The setting modes will be automatically exited

after 5 seconds if no button is pressed . Any settings
made will be saved .

Perform the channel scan for the first receiver
module, switch on the appropriate two trans-
mitters and set them accordingly . Leave the
two transmitters switched on so that channels
already used will be skipped during the channel
scan for the second receiver module . Then per-
form the channel scan for the second receiver
module, switch on the two appropriate trans-
mitters and set them accordingly .

7.1.2 Setting the squelch

The squelch function will mute the respective
receiver unit when the level of the radio signal
falls below the threshold value adjusted . Thus,
interference signals will not cause noise when
the transmitter is switched off or when its radio
signal is insufficient: If the levels of the interfer-
ence signals are below the threshold value, the
receiver unit will be muted .

A high threshold value offers high interference
resistance, but it will also reduce the transmis-
sion range . Thus, when the reception is good,
a high threshold value can be used; however,
when the transmitter and the receiver are far
apart, a low threshold value is recommended .
1) Switch off the receiver units A and B . Then

keep the button SET pressed while switching
on a receiver unit . The display will indicate the
group setting (

, with the number

flashing) .

2) Press the button SET to exit the group set-

ting mode and to activate the squelch setting
mode:

(for “Squelch”) and the current

value (flashing) will appear on the display .

3) Use the button

△

▽

to set the value

(level 7 = highest threshold value) . Press the
button SET to exit the squelch setting mode .

Note:

The setting modes will be automatically

exited after 5 seconds if no button is pressed . Any
settings made will be saved .

7.2 Operating the Bluetooth receiver

The Bluetooth receiver can be used to establish a
wireless connection to a Bluetooth audio source
(e . g . smartphone, tablet PC, MP3 player) which
allows the amplifier system to replay audio data .

Note:

The Bluetooth source must be compatible with

the A2DP protocol (Advanced Audio Distribution Pro-
file); otherwise, no wireless connection will be possible .

1) To switch on the Bluetooth receiver, keep the

button (16) pressed for approx . 2 seconds .
The button will start flashing to indicate that
there is no connection to the Bluetooth source
and that the Bluetooth receiver is ready for
“pairing” (linking the Bluetooth source to the
Bluetooth receiver) .

2) At the Bluetooth source, switch on the Blue-

tooth function and perform the “pairing”
process (see the instructions of the Bluetooth
source, if required) . On the display of the
Bluetooth source, the Bluetooth receiver is
indicated as “TXA SERIES” . The button will
be continuously illuminated once the linkage
has been established .

3) At the Bluetooth source, start the replay of

audio data . The Bluetooth source can be
operated as desired (title selection, volume
adjustment, pause, etc .) .

4) At the active speaker system, use the control

AUX (8) to adjust the volume .

Note:

The volume control will also apply to the unit

that is connected to the AUX input (15); therefore,
do not use this input during Bluetooth operation .
Otherwise, both audio sources will be reproduced
at the same time .

5) When the Bluetooth connection is discon-

nected (e . g . when the Bluetooth source is
moved outside of the range of the wireless
connection), the button will restart flashing,
and the “pairing” process must be performed
again .

6) To switch off the Bluetooth receiver, briefly

press the button . The button will not be
illuminated anymore .

Note concerning multichannel operation:

The number of channels to be used in parallel de-
pends on the conditions at the place of application
(e . g . on interference due to other wireless systems
or high-frequency sources such as fluorescent lamps) .
In ideal conditions, up to four channels can be oper-
ated at the same time without mutual interference .
Two examples of a suitable channel selection for four
wireless transmission paths:

Example 1:

channel 01 – channel 03 – channel 06 – channel 12

Example 2:

channel 06 – channel 09 – channel 15 – channel 16
