Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Speakers

Product Overview

The Edifier R1700BT is a set of active bookshelf speakers featuring a classic design with modern functionality. They offer both wired and wireless audio connectivity, making them suitable for a variety of audio sources.

Connections and Setup

The R1700BT system consists of two speakers. The main speaker unit houses the primary controls and connections.

Rear Panel Connections (Main Speaker):

• PC In: Connect to a computer or other audio source using a 3.5mm to dual RCA cable or dual RCA to dual RCA cable.
• Aux In: Connect to auxiliary audio devices like MP3 players or smartphones using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.
• Volume Knob: A rotary knob for adjusting the master volume.
• Power Switch: A toggle switch to turn the speakers on or off.

Diagram Description: The setup diagram illustrates connecting the passive speaker to the active speaker using a speaker cable. The active speaker is then connected to the audio source via the PC In or Aux In ports. The power cord connects to the active speaker.

Operation

Powering On/Off: Flip the power switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position to power the speakers. Flip it to 'OFF' to shut down the system.

Volume Control: The volume can be adjusted using the rotary knob on the main speaker or via the included remote control.

Bluetooth Pairing:

1. Ensure the speakers are powered on.
2. Activate the Bluetooth function on your source device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop).
3. Scan for available Bluetooth devices.
4. Select "Edifier R1700BT" from the list of found devices.
5. Once successfully paired, audio from your device will play through the speakers. An indicator light on the speaker may show the connection status.

Input Selection: The speakers are designed to automatically detect and switch to the active audio input. If multiple wired inputs are connected simultaneously, the Bluetooth connection typically takes priority. To switch between PC In and Aux In, ensure only one is actively sending an audio signal or disconnect the unused one.

Remote Control

The remote control provides convenient operation of the speakers, allowing for volume adjustments and potentially other functions.

Remote Control Battery Replacement: To replace the battery, open the battery compartment located on the back of the remote. Insert a new battery of the correct type (e.g., CR2032) while ensuring correct polarity (+/-).

Troubleshooting

Issue: Only one speaker is producing sound.

• Check that the cable connecting the main speaker to the satellite speaker is securely attached at both ends.
• Confirm that the audio source is outputting a stereo signal.

Issue: No sound from the speakers.

• Ensure the speakers are powered on and the volume is turned up.
• Verify that the audio cables are correctly and securely connected to both the speakers and the audio source.
• Confirm that the correct input source is selected or active.

Issue: Speaker noise or hum.

• Try repositioning the speakers and audio cables to minimize interference from other electronic devices or power sources. Using shielded audio cables can help.
• Ensure the speakers are not placed too close to devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields.

Issue: Remote control is not functioning.

• Make sure the battery in the remote control is fresh and correctly inserted with the proper polarity.
• Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the infrared receiver on the speaker.
