FAQ
Most Frequently Asked Questions
About the Environment
Q: Is there a maximum
distance of transmission
between the Music Center
and the Music Stations for
effective streaming?
A: Yes.The maximum distance of Wi-Fi transmission for the system is 250m
Q: Do I need a computer and

A: No.Your WACS700 is designed to work independently of the computer.

solid obstacles such as walls and doors, which may reduce the effective

sets if you experience transmission problems.
