The WA-350 and WA-320 operate on a 1-to-1 basis and therefore they must be “Linked” to each other prior to the first use. Once linked they will maintain their paired status even if a power loss occurs. The “RST” button can be used to reset and separate a linked pair.

When the WA-351 is within range of the WA-321, it will automatically detect and receive the audio signal. If distortion or reception problems occur, press the “Link” button on the WA-321 to change the broadcast channel. There are 8 possible broadcast channels to choose from. The WA-321 can broadcast on 8 different channels. If you encounter interference, press the link button on the WA-321 to skip to a different broadcast channel. The WA-351 will automatically detect the broadcast signal of the WA-321.

Note: The green LINK LED will blink until the receiver has been linked.

The WA-350 and WA-351 can be installed in the wall using a standard 3-gang junction box or low-voltage mounting ring. The Amplified Wireless Audio Receiver can also be installed into the back of Channel Vision’s SP525, SP650, or SP800 Free Standing Speakers.

These wireless audio products make it easy to transmit audio from one room to another. Connect any standard audio component to the input connectors of the WA-321 in Room 1 which will broadcast the signal to the WA-351 in other rooms of the home. The A0127 can be connected to the rear panel of the WA-351 to allow volume control of the WA-351 amplifier. If a powered subwoofer is connected to the rear panel of the WA-351, its volume will be controlled by the A0127.

Troubleshooting: Plug all parts of the system into the same outlet to see if the hum goes away. Cause: The different components in the system are connected to different electrical grounds. This forces electrical currents to find alternate paths to ground causing an audible 60Hz hum. Solution: Plug products into an electrical circuit with a common ground. Lift the ground with a ground lifting plug. Problem: Transmitter is not linking with the receiver. Troubleshooting: Make sure you are linking compatible models (WA-320 with WA-360). Check if pwr/lnk LED indicator on the transmitter is turning amber and that the signal LED is lit. Cause: Link button on WA-350 is not being pressed quickly enough. Review the linking procedure in this manual. Please note that a transmitter and receiver will remain paired even after being unplugged. This allows you to complete the linking process before placing the receiver in it’s final location. Solution: Press the Link button on the WA-320 and confirm that the pwr/lnk LED turns amber. Within 6 seconds, press the Link button on the WA-350. Problem: Can’t link to the transmitter, or audio is cutting out. Troubleshooting: Check the source, is it sending a signal? Consider setting the jumpers on the transmitter (WA-320/WA-321) to the “disable audio- sensing” position during setup procedure (see the Rear Panel Features and Connections section). This will ensure that the transmitter will not mute during pauses or very quiet passages. Cause: Either there is no audio going into the transmitter, or the audio is very quiet which is causing the transmitter to mute. Solution: Use a known good audio source. If you can’t find any other problems, try using a different source component even if you think your audio source is OK.
