While a single RS100 may be
used in a room for a Monaural
Sound Stage, most RS100s will be
used in pairs to produce a Stereo

some additional setup procedures
are required.

has been completed and music
is streaming from your mobile
device to the single RS100, then
perform the following additional
steps:

1. Stop the stream of music and
return to the Mobile Device
Main Icon Screen.

2. Then switch Power Off to the
working RS100.

3. Switch Power On to the sec-
ond RS100 and perform Step
11 (number 3 thru 9) for this
RS100.

4. After music is playing from
the second RS100, stop mu-
sic playback and return to
the Mobile Device Main Icon
Screen, refer to number 9.

5. Switch power back On to the
first RS100 (switched Off in
step 1).

6. Perform Step 12 (number 10
thru 18) to setup the pair of
RS100s as Left and Right
Channels.
