Some turntables include a built-in Phono Pre-Amp. If your turntable has a built in Phono Pre-Amp, DO NOT use the PHONO input. Doing so will void your warranty and could cause severe damage to your speakers. Connecting to a Smart Home Device Thank you for choosing TUK, a Canadian designed powered speaker system. TUK takes its name from Tuktoyaktuk, a remote hamlet on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. A place where the colorful dance of the Aurora Borealis offers a thrilling experience – one that we've sought to emulate with sound. Its wide range of connectivity makes it perfectly suited as both a near field and home audio solution. The Kanto TUK are active speakers, meaning all you need to do is connect to them via Bluetooth or similar digital input. We’ll go into various methods of connecting to them below, but right now we want to talk about the differences between wired and wireless sound quality with these speakers. Generally speaking, there’s not much to it. At a push, we’d say that wired sound quality is a bit better, and we suspect that’s down to the fact that the Bluetooth is only 4.2 - as opposed to the more up-to-date 5.0 ( here’s an explainer if none of that makes sense). Sure, you get full aptX, aptX HD and AAC, but it’s still a little disappointing. It’s one of the few negatives we have regarding the sound quality of the TUK speakers. While the speaker can be paired with more than one device, only one device can play and transmit audio at a time.

It’s also worth noting that there’s a headphone amp included in these speakers, with a 3.5mm connection on the front. Honestly, it’s not a strong point here. A stand-alone headphone amp is a much better option. The included amp sounds fine, but buying these speakers to use the headphone amp is like buying a Ferrari to drop your kids at school. Press the Input button on TUK's remote to select BT as the input source. You can also cycle through inputs by pressing the knob on the front of TUK. The BT Input LED will blink slowly for 8 seconds while it attempts to pair with the last known device. If unsuccessful, TUK will enter pairing mode automatically, indicated by rapid blinking of the BT Input LED. You can also enter pairing mode manually by pressing the Bluetooth Reset button ( ) on the remote (see diagram of Remote Control – button #10). Set the volume of the source to its highest level. Low source volume can inadvertently trigger standby mode.The connection between speaker and device remains active even if input source has changed. For instance, you can switch to another input source (e.g. RCA) and return to Bluetooth operation without losing signal connection and, therefore, do not need to pair with the device again. Within audio settings, change the audio output to PCM, stereo, or two channel. This option may be called "Audio Output Mode", "Digital Audio Output Mode", or "Digital Output Audio Format" depending on TV brand. Outfitted with dedicated phono, RCA and Optical TOSLINK inputs, a built-in USB DAC and headphone amp, and Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD and AAC codecs, TUK provides the flexibility you need to enjoy all your devices. FEATURES

After you adjust the volume on the speakers you should hear the audio from your turntable being played through the speakers. If you do not hear any audio, refer to the Audio Troubleshooting Guide. TUK is equipped with an RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer. Simply connect a single RCA subwoofer cable from the SUB OUT connection on TUK to the AUDIO INPUT on your subwoofer. If your sub-woofer has a stereo L / R RCA input, either left or right inputs will work. We don’t want to overstate our case here. Very obviously, against four-figure monsters, the TUK are going to come up short. But evaluated on their own merits, and compared to other models in their price range, they offer ridiculous value. The sound quality here speaks of real care and attention to detail, and we would be stunned if you were disappointed with these. They are punchy, energetic, accomplished, and just flat-out fun to listen to.Make sure the blue BT Input LED on the front panel of TUK is blinking rapidly, indicating the speakers are in pairing mode. If the BT Input LED is solidly lit, press the Bluetooth reset button on the remote to unpair a previously used device and enter pairing mode. Ensure there is a clear line of sight from the remote to the speakers. Aim the remote at the IR Receiver. Push the knob to select an input source - it cycles through the following inputs depending on what input source was last used. TUK can take up to 6 seconds to boot up and shut down. During this time the speaker will not respond to remote commands or adjustments to the Volume / Input knob. Do not attempt to adjust any settings while TUK is starting up as it may cause a jarring change when audio starts playing. Channel Swap
