House Codes
What are they and why do we need them?
House codes are used to set up a proprietary network for MusicLites in your home, apartment or office to
prevent other MusicLites transmiꢁers and remotes operated by your neighbors from affecꢀng your ML’s
operaꢀon or from yours affecꢀng others.
How does the code get set?
All MLs, transmiꢁers and remotes will have a mechanical dial (see FIGURES 1, 2 and 3). They will have a default
seꢂng of 0. If you live in a rural area, or if there is enough space between your dwelling and your closest
neighbor, you can leave on the default seꢂng and not do anything.
What are my opꢀons?
If you choose to change your house code, you can turn the dial to any of 0-9 possible codes. You should do this
with each ML, transmiꢁer and remote prior to installing the MLs. You can use the included screwdriver and
you will feel a mechanical click as you turn the dial for each number. Remember, ALL MLs, transmiꢁers and
remotes must be set to the same house code or they will not work together. Once done, there is very liꢁle
chance of your system affecꢀng another, or vice versa. If you do experience a problem, you may need to reset
the house code to another number.

Zone Programming
What is a zone?
A zone is a grouping of 1 or more MLs where you want the lighꢀng and the audio source to behave in
synchronizaꢀon. Typically, you would want all the MLs in a room to have the same light levels and play from
the same audio source. For instance, you may want to have your family room and kitchen play from your
television, but you may want the lights to be at different levels. In that instance, the rooms should be set up as
different zones.
How many zones can I have in my ‘house’?
You can have 5 zones in a house. Your MLs also have the capability of playing the same source through all
zones with a single buꢁon press.
What if I want more than 5 zones?
You can set up a second house code and repeat up to 5 new zones with each new house code.
How many MusicLites can be installed in 1 zone?
You can have up to 12 in each zone.
How can I synchronize all MLs in all zones of the house to the same source?
By pressing the AZ (All Zone) buꢁon followed by S1, S2 or S3 on the remote, you can send the audio from the
selected source to all acꢀve MLs, regardless of zone.
How do I set the zones?
There is a dial located on the back of the ML (see FIGURE 4). It is labeled Zone with the opꢀon to set your
product in zone 1-5. The default is zone 1. Simply rotate the dial to the seꢂng you want. All the MLs set for a
specific zone will work as a system.
By using your remote control, you can adjust volume, light levels and the source within a zone. You simply
hit the buꢁon on the remote corresponding to the zone you want to control and then use the keys to adjust
the funcꢀon. The remote uses line-of-sight IR (infrared) technology. Once one ML receives the IR signal, it
communicates using RF (radio frequency) to all MLs in that zone. So, if you have MLs in two rooms with the
same zone, and you dim the light in one room, the other room will dim as well. If you do not want that to
happen, you should change one of the rooms to another zone.
The remote can be used by zone (make note of zone locaꢀons on the supplied zone locaꢀon sꢀcker included
to aꢁach to to your remote). If you only have MLs set for one zone, you should never have to hit the zone
buꢁons on the remote. However, if the MLs are not obeying the commands from the remote, you will want to
press the zone buꢁon (likely to be zone 1) and then try the desired commands again.

Audio Mode Set-Up
Why do I have to set up my speaker?
MLs can be set to leſt channel, right channel or leſt+right. Typically, you will want to operate an independent
leſt and right speaker for a stereo effect. In some instances, you may want to have all of them on leſt+right.
This is personal preference and dependent on placement and acousꢀcs in the room you are placing these. The
default seꢂng for MLs is leſt+right speaker. If you want to keep that seꢂng no steps are needed.
How do I adjust the audio mode?
There is a switch located on the back of the MLs (see FIGURE 5). It is labeled Audio Mode. It will be set to
leſt+right. Simply slide the switch to the seꢂng you want.
When do I set up the MusicLites as Leſt or Right?
For each room (or zone) that you choose to place MLs, you should determine the speaker seꢂngs prior to
screwing in the MLs. If, aſter listening to the MusicLites, you choose to relocate or change the seꢂngs, turn off
power to the ML, unscrew it and change the audio seꢂngs.
When do I set up the MusicLites as Leſt + Right?
It is a maꢁer of preference, but if you are only operaꢀng 1 ML in a zone, you should pick leſt+right channel to
get a full audio output. In transient areas, such as hallways, restrooms, etc., you should also consider leſt+right.
Choose to create a leſt channel and right channel separately if you are operaꢀng mulꢀple MLs in a space and
where you can appreciate the dynamic quality of the separate channels working together.

Seꢁng Up the Sources
What is a source?
A source is any audio storage device that can provide output. Sources include, but are not limited to,
smartphones, iPods®, iPhones®, iPads®, A/V receivers, televisions, radios, computers and MP3 players. In order
for a source to play through the MusicLites speakers, you will need a transmiꢁer plugged into the device.
There are 3 transmiꢁers (sources) available for MusicLites:
• Transmiꢁer for iPod/iPhone/iPad
• USB Transmiꢁer
• Universal Transmiꢁer
Each transmiꢁer can only be connected to one source at a ꢀme. The source is indicated by a mechanical switch
on the side that shows which of three possible opꢀons, S1, S2 or S3 is selected (see FIGURE 6). Source 1 is
the default. Transmiꢁers are independent of the device being transmiꢁed from. That means you can unplug
the transmiꢁer from that device and plug into another, as long as there is a way to connect. You can have up
to 3 transmiꢁers acꢀve at one ꢀme. If you have 3 transmiꢁers connected to devices playing simultaneously,
you can use the remote control, by zone, to toggle between sources S1, S2 and S3. If you are using mulꢀple
transmiꢁers, it is important that you make sure that each is transmiꢂng as a different source number- 1, 2 or
3. Two transmiꢁers playing simultaneously on the same source number will not work.
How do the sources work?
Once you aꢁach a transmiꢁer to an audio device, the transmiꢁer interprets the signal and transmits it
wirelessly. If the transmiꢁer is set as the first source (S1), all MLs set to pick up S1 will play from that
transmiꢁer as long as they are turned on and within range.
How long does it take the MLs to receive and process a command?
Depending on the configuraꢀon and number of MLs in your home, you may need to allow 3 - 6 seconds aſter
pressing a S1, S2 or S3 to allow all MLs to receive and respond to that command.
How many sources can I have per zone?
Each zone can only play one source at a ꢀme. However, you can switch between the 3 sources (S1, S2, S3) in a
house. Sources can take the form of any number of devices as they are independent from the transmiꢁer. You
do not have to buy separate transmiꢁers for each device unless you want to play them all simultaneously in
different zones.

Understanding Wireless Networks
MusicLites operate in the 2.4 GHz RF (Radio Frequency) bandwidth. This is the same range as other wireless
devices like wireless internet routers, cordless telephones and Bluetooth devices. There is limited bandwidth
available and this could affect the operaꢀon of MusicLites.
What does this mean for MusicLites?
The transmiꢁers for MusicLites look for open space in the bandwidth. However, if you operate other RF devices
in the 2.4 GHz range, it may limit the number of transmiꢁers you can operate simultaneously.
How do I know when there is a problem?
MusicLites will conꢀnue to operate in the crowded RF environment. However, since other devices may be using
the same frequency, response can be choppy. This will happen to ALL of your home devices, however since
MusicLites is playing audio, the choppiness in the signal will be noꢀceable.
What should I do if I encounter the problem?
If you experience choppiness, it is a sign that you don’t have any more bandwidth available for conꢀnuous
signal to the MusicLites. Disconnecꢀng one or more devices should recꢀfy the problem.
Can I do anything to prevent this from occurring?
MusicLites has the ability to operate 3 transmiꢁers as different sources (S1, S2 and S3) simultaneously.
However, if you have a wireless router in your house, you should limit yourself to having 2 transmiꢁers in
operaꢀon at any given ꢀme.

Using the Remote
How do I use zones to select source?
Select the desired zone by pressing Z1-Z5 or AZ for all zones. There is a user applied sꢀcker that can be
aꢁached to your remote to record which rooms are set for which zones. Then select a source: S1, S2 or S3 (see
FIGURE 7) .
How do I use zones to adjust light or volume?
Select the desired zone by pressing Z1-Z5 or AZ for all zones. Then, to adjust audio press +, - or mute. For
lighꢀng press +, - or on/off (see FIGURE 7).
NOTE: You must set the House Code dial prior to first use to match the MusicLites and transmiꢁers (see
FIGURE 7).
How do I replace the baꢂery in my remote?
To replace the baꢁery, flip the remote to the back side, depress the latch on the baꢁery access tray and pull
the tray to slide open, exposing the baꢁery. Take note of the “+” indicator facing up on the tray. Remove the
current baꢁery and replace with a new standard CR2025 lithium coin baꢁery. Be sure the “+” indicator is
facing up on both the tray and the baꢁery itself. Carefully slide the tray back into the remote housing unꢀl you
hear a click. You are now ready to use your remote.

Range
What is the range of my transmiꢂer?
Transmiꢁer range is 61m [200 ſt] line of sight or 15m [50 ſt] through tradiꢀonal internal structures. Indoor
range will vary depending on obstrucꢀons. Transmiꢁer range may be reduced by metal structures and
transmiꢁer baꢁery strength (Transmiꢁer for iPod/iPhone/iPad only).
How can I improve the range of my Transmiꢂer?
Transmiꢁer range can be improved by minimizing the obstrucꢀons between the transmiꢁer and the
MusicLites. If you are using the MusicLites transmiꢁer for iPod/iPhone/iPad be sure that the included
rechargeable baꢁery was recently charged.
How Close can I have my source transmiꢂers to each other?
The recommended minimum distance between MusicLites source transmiꢁers is 30 cm [12 in].
What is the range of my remote control?
Your IR remote control must have a line of sight with at least 1 ML in a zone in order to funcꢀon. Once 1 ML
receives a signal from a remote, it will communicate via RF to the other MLs on that zone to keep all the MLs
in that zone operaꢀng at the same light and audio volume levels. MLs will only communicate to other MLs
assigned to the same zone.

MusicLites Module
(Part number 72284)
What comes with the MusicLites module?
• 1 ML Loudspeaker with Light
• Owner’s Manual
• Instrucꢀons for first ꢀme set-up
• Screwdriver
What does the MusicLites module do?
The MusicLites modules combine light and audio into an experience that must be seen and heard to be
believed. In order to use, you will need to purchase one of the 3 transmiꢁers available.
How does the MusicLites module work?
(1)
Before you screw the MLs into the socket, make sure to set up the house code, zones and channels from
the rear of each unit:
a. Set up the house codes- Make sure the house code is set to the proper code (default is 0). If
not, take the screwdriver provided and turn to the correct house code. All MLs must be set to
the same house code as must all transmiꢁers and remote controls in order to work as one
system.
b. Set up the zones- If you are puꢂng in mulꢀple zones, you should plan out how many MLs
are in each zone (up to 12) and to mark the zones on the back of each remote control to make
sure you remember which zone you are controlling. The default seꢂng is zone 1. If you are only
puꢂng in 1 zone, then leave as set up from the factory.
c. Set up the audio channels- Determine which MLs are leſt speakers, right speakers or operaꢀng
as both leſt and right speakers. Refer to page 5.
(2) Once you have the MLs switches in the correct posiꢀons, install the units in the fixtures according to
those seꢂngs. Mixing two zones in the same room may cause a lot of confusion.
(3) Turn the MLs on at the wall switch and make sure the light is working. If the light comes on, you are ready
to play.
(4) To synchronize with an audio source, press the zone buꢁon on the remote corresponding to the zone you
want to control. Then press the S1, S2 or S3 buꢁon on the remote corresponding to the transmiꢁer you
want to play.
NOTE: To check on the source being received properly, you can turn the light off with the remote. Then,
press the correct source buꢁon. If you press S1, the blue light on the ML should blink once before going
off.
(5) Provided the source device is on and funcꢀoning and that the sources are in synchronizaꢀon, you should
hear the speakers playing. If not, you will need to work through troubleshooꢀng steps. You can find these

(6)
You should be able to control the light levels and the audio volume through the remote control. If you
are operaꢀng on a wall dimmer, the MusicLites will not dim from the dimmer. It will dim from the remote
control.
NOTE: MusicLites has not been designed to work on a wall dimmer and is therefore not recommended
for use in those applicaꢀons. However, in most instances MusicLites will conꢀnue to operate on dimmers,
but may not dim with the other lights on the circuit.
(7)
(8)
MusicLites will not operate if there is no power being applied, but you can turn lights off with the remote
control without affecꢀng the audio output.
Your IR remote control must have a line of sight with at least 1 ML on a zone in order to funcꢀon. Once 1
ML receives a signal from a remote, it will communicate via RF to the other MLs on that zone to keep all
the MLs in that zone operaꢀng at the same light and audio volume levels. MLs will only communicate to
other MLs in the same zone.
(9)
You can repeat this process for each zone using the remote. You can have up to 3 sources acꢀve at any
ꢀme and you can have any of them playing on any of the zones. You can listen to your receiver in your liv-
ing room and kitchen, while enjoying your iPhone in your bedroom and your computer in the family room
and basement.

USB Transmiꢂer
(Part number 72468)
What comes with the transmiꢂer?
• USB transmiꢁer
• Remote control
• Easy Installaꢀon Guide
What does the USB Transmiꢂer do?
By plugging the USB transmiꢁer into a computer you can play audio from that device and have it output to the
MLs.
How does the USB Transmiꢂer work?
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Make sure the house code is set to the proper code (default is 0). If not, take the screwdriver provided and
turn to the correct house code.
Decide what source you want it to play. There is a sliding switch with 3 posiꢀons on the side of the
transmiꢁer. Slide it to S1, S2 or S3.
Plug the USB into the proper port in a computer or similar device. If the computer is turned on, a red light
indicator on the top side of the transmiꢁer should light up.
Make sure the MLs that you want to play are turned on (see ML set-up secꢀon for details). Use the remote
to make sure the MLs are looking to play from the source 1, 2 or 3 you picked (again, check the ML set-up
secꢀon for how to do this).
(5)
(6)
Make sure the device (ie. computer) recognizes the transmiꢁer. Once it does, start up your media player.
Pick something with audio to play and start it. The light on the transmiꢁer should begin to blink between
red and blue as it searches for synchronizaꢀon with the MLs.
(7)
When synchronizaꢀon is made, the light will be blue. The MLs will also have a blue light that will light
up momentarily as it receives the signal. The MLs should begin playing. You can use your computer to
set audio levels for the MLs. It should not be necessary to adjust bass, treble, etc., and you will want to
remove any exisꢀng EQ or tone seꢂngs. If synchronizaꢀon is not made, check your sources to make sure
the MLs and the transmiꢁer are set for the same source; your computer should not be set on mute. Be
certain the MLs were not inadvertently muted from the remote control.
(8)
You should now be able to control the ML volume with both the computer and the remote control. If you
would like to use only one device to control audio volume, turn the volume to the highest seꢂngs on the
device you do not want to use. This will give you full audio range. For instance, turning your computer vol-
ume to 100% will allow the MusicLites remote to control volume for the full capability of the MLs and your
computer.

Apple device seꢂngs to set audio levels for the MLs through use of the 30-Pin connector. It should not
be neccessary to adjust bass, treble, etc., and you will want to remove any exisꢀng EQ or tone seꢂngs. If
synchronizaꢀon is not made, check your sources to make sure the MLs and the transmiꢁer are set for the
same source; your Apple device should not be set on mute. Be certain the MLs were not inadvertently
muted from the remote control.

Universal Transmiꢂer
(Part number 72287)
What comes with the transmiꢂer?
• Universal Transmiꢁer
• AC adapter with cord and DC Output
• Cable with 3.5mm mini-jacks on each end
• Remote control
• Easy Installaꢀon Guide
What does the Universal Transmiꢂer do?
The Universal transmiꢁer is a versaꢀle device that has two audio inputs:
a. 3.5mm mini-jack connector (will work with the headphone jack output of computers, smartphones,
Apple devices, MP3 players, etc.). There are cables available with mini- jack on one end and leſt and
right RCA on the other for use with televisions or stereos.
b. Toslink opꢀcal cable for use with a television, CD player, A/V reciever or other digital source.
How does the Universal Transmiꢂer work with a computer, MP3 player, Apple device or other audio storage
device with a mini-stereophone jack?
(1) Make sure the house code is set to the proper code (default is 0). If not, take the screwdriver provided
and turn to the correct house code.
(2) Decide what source you want it to play. There is a sliding switch with 3 posiꢀons on the side of the
transmiꢁer. Slide it to S1, S2 or S3.
(3) Plug one end of the AC power adapter provided into the DC port of the Toslink and the other end into the
wall outlet. The Universal Transmiꢁer will not work without power. The red indicator should light up to
indicate that power is established. Then connect the cable provided into the line in port of the Toslink and
connect to the device you want to play (MP3, iPod, computer, etc.).
(4) Make sure the MLs that you want to play are turned on (see ML set-up secꢀon for details). Use the
remote to make sure the MLs are looking to play from the source 1, 2 or 3 you picked (again, check the
ML set-up secꢀon for how to do this).
(5) There should be no need to check your output device since the connector of the mini-jack plugged into
your device will automaꢀcally divert the audio signal to the transmiꢁer. If it doesn’t, check to make sure
every connecꢀon is ꢀght.
(6) Pick something with audio to play and start it. The light on the transmiꢁer should begin to blink between
red and blue as it searches for synchronizaꢀon with the MLs.
(7) When synchronizaꢀon is made, the light will be blue. The MLs will also have a blue light that will light up
momentarily as it receives the signal. The MLs should begin playing. You can use your device to set audio
levels for the MLs. It should not be necessary to adjust bass, treble, etc., and you will want to remove any
exisꢀng EQ or tone seꢂngs. If synchronizaꢀon is not made, check your sources to make sure the MLs and
the transmiꢁer are set for the same source; your device should not be set on mute. Be certain the MLs
were not inadvertently muted from the remote control.

You should now be able to control the ML volume with both the device and the remote control. If you
would like to use only one device to control audio volume, turn the volume to the highest seꢂngs on the
device you do not want to use. This will give you full audio range. For instance, turning your computer
volume to full will allow the MusicLites remote to control volume for the full capability of the MLs and
your computer.

indicate that power is established. Then connect the opꢀcal cable into the Opt Port of the transmiꢁer and
connect to the television or receiver output. You will need to consult with your owner’s manual to make
sure you are uꢀlizing the correct port of the television or receiver.

Other Accessories
Trim rings for recessed can fixtures are available through your dealer or you can request through the Musi-
cLites.com web site. You can also purchase trim rings at any DIY store. Halo 301-P is available and works with
MusicLites units and most 4 and 6 inch recessed cans.
Should your recessed can have a tapered ring or housing, it could prevent the ML from reaching the socket.
There are three possible opꢀons to remedy this problem:
(1) Remove the trim ring and replace it with ours or go to a DIY and buy the 301P Halo ring.
(2) Buy a socket extender at a DIY for roughly $3
(3) Adjust the socket in the recessed can up or down.
If you lose your remote control, contact MusicLites at our website or 888-757-5001.
More accessories will be available throughout 2011. Stay tuned to
