System Requirements; Detailed Instructions; Power On/Off - Soundcast VG tx Mode D'emploi

System Requirements

VGtx transmits high quality stereo audio to all VG series speakers and any compat-
ible A2DP Bluetooth® profile wireless receiving device. Compatible devices include
all VG series speakers, Bluetooth® enabled headphones/speakers or
Bluetooth® adapters.
Bluetooth Codec Support:
The VGtx provides support for three common Bluetooth® codecs: SBC, aptX, and
aptX Low Latency. To pair using a given codec, both the VGtx and the paired receiv-
ing device must support the codec. All Bluetooth® audio devices commonly support
the SBC codec. Unless device specific documentation indicates otherwise; it is likely
the VGtx will pair with your receiving device using the SBC codec.
Note:
• The VGtx is designed to work with all VG series speakers and will utilize the aptX
Low Latency codec automatically. If using other products, aptX Low Latency codec
will only be active when paired with a receiving device that also supports aptX Low
Latency.
• AptX Low Latency codec will not be active in TWS mode. The VGtx will indicate an
active AptX Low Latency connection when the PWR/LLC LED indicator is Yellow.

Detailed Instructions

Power on/off

The VGtx supports mini USB power. Connect one end of the included USB
power cable to the VGtx USB jack; connect the other end to the included
or a compatible USB power supply unit (5V/500mA), computer, or televi-
sion USB port. Any USB charger that is rated at an output of 5V@500mA
or higher is compatible and may be used with the VGtx.
Connecting Cables
The VGtx ships with the following audio cables:
• (3ft) 3.5mm to 3.5mm analog audio cable
• (3ft) TOSLink optical digital audio cable
The audio lag will
be around
38ms ± 5ms
70ms ± 10ms
220ms ± 50ms
Optional Cable – Fiber Optic
A TOSLink digital optical cable can be used with the VGtx. The audio
source, E.g. smartphone, TV, "Digital output"
will be connected to the VGtx "Digital Input".
* The VGtx digital input will only recognize/decode stereo streams, not
Dolby/DTS encoded, etc. The optical "pass-through" will however pass
through both encoded and stereo type streams.
Optical Output – TV Applications - Outdoors
The VGtx Optical output is a "pass-through" circuit. The Optical output
of the VGtx can be used with TV audio via the TV's Optical output even
though an existing soundbar or home theater amplifier is already con-
nected to the TV's Optical output (most TV's only have 1 Optical output).
Please see image A.(Next page) The optical "pass-through" circuit is active
when the unit is turned off, but the VGtx must have power in order for the
"pass-through" to operate.
The VGtx can be installed in an outdoor TV application. The VGtx can be
mounted behind a TV and fastened to a hard surface (mounting bracket,
wall) utilizing the adjustable mounting tabs. The VGtx must be mounted
with the front of the unit facing up to ensure a long-life expectancy.

Note 1:
The VGtx requires an audio input source like a computer, tablet, smart-
phone, television or stereo system, etc. that can offer the VGtx an audio
signal/music to transmit. The cable being used must be connected to the
appropriate input: either 3.5mm to the "Analog Input", or optical digital to
the "Digital Input".
Note 2:
The included USB cable with is for USB power only and does not offer an
audio or data type connection. For optimal performance, always use the
provided USB cable with your VGtx.
