The rear panel includes dedicated input jacks for these connections, along with a switch to select between PC and CD/DVD inputs.

To use this feature, users need to select BT mode, search for "SS048A-616" on their device, and pair. Once connected, audio can be streamed wirelessly, with control over track selection, play, and pause available via the remote. The effective working range for Bluetooth is approximately 8 meters in an open area.

The remote includes buttons for power standby, mode selection (USB, BT, AUX, FM), play/pause, track navigation (previous/next song), volume control, EQ mode selection, and input selection. It is important to note the correct operating angle for the remote, which is about 45-90 degrees relative to the speaker's infrared emitter, located at the top of the back of the remote.
- LED Display: The front panel features an LED display screen that shows the current operational status, such as the selected input mode or track information. It also houses the remote control receiver.
- Ease of Setup: The manual outlines a straightforward setup process. Users connect the satellite speaker cable to the output jack on the amplifier's rear panel, then connect an audio cable from their source device to the amplifier's input. Finally, the AC power cord is connected, and the unit is powered on.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the Akai SS048A-616 speaker system. The manual provides several safety and maintenance guidelines.
- General Cleaning: The appliance should only be cleaned with a dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or exposing the unit to moisture, as this can lead to electric shock or damage.
- Power Cord Handling: Always ensure the power supply is proper and never handle the power cord or its plug with wet hands. Before connecting the AC power cord, ensure the main power switch is in the "OFF" position to prevent damage. A damaged power cord should never be used, as it poses a risk of electric shock or fire.
- Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is essential. Do not place the appliance on surfaces that might block ventilation openings, such as beds, sofas, or rugs. This prevents overheating and ensures proper operation.
- Environmental Protection: Keep the appliance away from heat sources like radiators, stoves, or direct sunlight. Avoid using the unit near water sources (bathtubs, sinks, swimming pools) to prevent moisture damage.
- Non-use Periods: If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, unplug the power cord from the outlet. This helps prevent potential damage from power surges or lightning storms.
- Professional Servicing: The manual emphasizes that users should not attempt to service the appliance beyond what is specified in the operating instructions. Any damage requiring service, such as a damaged power cord, liquid spills, exposure to rain, abnormal operation, or physical damage, should be referred to qualified service personnel.
- Disposal Information: The product features a symbol indicating that it should not be treated as household waste. Instead, it should be taken to a designated collection center for recycling at the end of its life. This practice helps protect the environment and human health by preventing negative consequences associated with improper waste disposal. Information on local collection centers can be obtained from local authorities, specific websites, or the store where the product was purchased.
