The SYLVANIA SPA124 is a versatile 12-inch tailgate speaker designed for portable audio entertainment. It features Bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting, and multiple input options, making it suitable for various indoor and outdoor settings. The speaker is equipped with a built-in battery, allowing for wireless operation, and includes a microphone for karaoke or public address functions.
The primary function of the SYLVANIA SPA124 is to provide high-quality audio playback from a variety of sources. Its Bluetooth capability allows for wireless streaming from compatible devices such as smartphones, tablets, and other Bluetooth-enabled audio sources. The 12-inch full-range drivers are designed to deliver robust sound, making it ideal for parties, gatherings, or personal listening.
In addition to Bluetooth, the speaker offers several wired input options. An AUX input allows for connection to external audio devices like MP3 players or discmans using an audio cable. It also features a USB port and a TF (TransFlash) card slot, enabling direct playback of audio files stored on USB drives or TF cards. This provides flexibility for users who prefer to play music without a Bluetooth connection.
The integrated FM radio function allows users to tune into local radio stations. The speaker can automatically scan and save available stations, making it easy to access preferred broadcasts.
A notable feature of the SPA124 is its recording capability. When a TF card or USB disk is inserted, the speaker can record audio, primarily from Bluetooth mode. This allows users to capture performances or other audio directly onto storage media.
The speaker also includes a microphone input, making it suitable for karaoke, announcements, or other vocal applications. This enhances its utility for entertainment and public speaking.
For an enhanced audio experience, the SPA124 supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) functionality. This allows two SPA124 speakers to be paired together wirelessly, creating a stereo sound system for a more immersive listening experience.
Operating the SYLVANIA SPA124 is straightforward, with a user-friendly control panel located on the device.
Power and Volume Control: The unit is switched on and off by twisting a dial, which also serves as the volume control. Turning it clockwise increases the volume, while counter-clockwise decreases it.
Mode Selection: A dedicated "MODE/LED ON" button allows users to cycle through different input modes: Bluetooth, FM Radio, AUX Input, USB, and TF. A short press changes the mode, while a long press controls the LED lighting, turning it on or off.
Playback Control: Standard playback controls are available, including "PREVIOUS/NEXT" buttons for skipping tracks or navigating radio stations, and a "PLAY/PAUSE" button for starting, stopping, or pausing audio. In FM mode, a short press of the "PLAY/PAUSE" button initiates an automatic scan for radio stations.
Recording Function: To record, users need to insert a TF card or USB disk and ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth mode. A long press of the "PLAY/PAUSE" button initiates recording, indicated by a "ding" sound. Another long press stops the recording, confirmed by a "ding ding" sound. Recorded audio can then be played back by switching to USB or TF card mode and selecting the desired track. It's important to note that recording primarily works in Bluetooth mode and not in FM or AUX modes. For optimal recording quality, it is recommended to maximize the volume of the Bluetooth device.
True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Pairing: To use TWS, two SPA124 speakers are required. First, ensure neither speaker is connected to any Bluetooth device. Turn on both speakers and switch them to Bluetooth mode. Then, press and hold the TWS button on one speaker. The LED display will show "t on" and then "bt st" flashing, indicating it's in pairing mode. Once connected, a tone will sound, and the display will show "bt" from the other speaker. After successful TWS pairing, a Bluetooth device can be connected to one of the speakers (named "Syl SPA124") to stream audio in stereo. To disconnect TWS, press and hold the TWS button again.
LED Lighting: The integrated LED lighting adds a visual element to the audio experience, which can be turned on or off as desired.
Microphone Usage: Simply plug a microphone into the "MIC IN JACK" to use it for singing or speaking.
Portability: The speaker is designed with portability in mind, featuring a handle and wheels, making it easy to transport to different locations.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the SYLVANIA SPA124.
Battery Charging: Before initial use, the speaker should be charged for at least 4 hours. The charging LED indicator will light up red during charging and turn off once the battery is fully charged. It is crucial to disconnect the charging cable once the battery is full to prevent overcharging. The speaker operates on a DC 5V input.
Cleaning: Regular cleaning of the speaker's exterior can help maintain its appearance. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Connectivity Care: Ensure that all cables (AUX, USB charging, microphone) are inserted and removed gently to prevent damage to the ports.
Firmware/Software: While not explicitly mentioned, it is generally good practice to check for any available firmware updates from the manufacturer, though this is less common for simpler audio devices.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance on various functions, which can serve as a first point of reference for troubleshooting minor issues. For example, if recording isn't working, checking the mode (must be Bluetooth) and ensuring a TF card or USB disk is inserted are key steps. For Bluetooth connectivity issues, ensuring the speaker is in pairing mode and that no other devices are connected is important.
Warranty Information: The product comes with a 90-day warranty covering defects in material and workmanship from the date of original purchase. This warranty allows for repair or replacement of defective components. It is important to retain the original sales receipt as proof of purchase for warranty claims. The warranty does not cover damage from accident, alteration, abuse, misuse, normal wear and tear, or use not in conformity with printed directions. It also excludes special, incidental, and consequential damages. For service assistance, users can contact Curtis International Ltd. at the provided phone number.
