Six speakers strategically placed within a continuous steel frame create a resonating cocoon of full spectrum sound throughout and around the chair and also directly infuse sound into your body. This creates the BodySound effect, which is the fusion of hearing and feeling, allowing you to feel what you hear. We are used to hearing sound, but are not accustomed to feeling full spectrum sound. Our sense of feeling provides much more intimacy than our sense of hearing. As a result, the BodySound effect creates more physical and emotional engagement as we watch a movie, listen to music, or play games. BodySound chairs also allow for the ultimate customization of your immediate sound space because you sit where the sound originates and you’re in control of your settings. Set the volume of your existing home entertainment equipment at comfortable ambient levels and then add the sound from your BodySound chair the way that you like it. If you have multiple chairs, each may be adjusted to the user’s preferred volume setting without the worry of invading another listener’s sound space. Please take a moment to read through this manual, as there are several new technology concepts which allow you to personalize your sound environment in addition to experiencing the BodySound sensation. This technology adds another dimension to movie watching, listening to music, and gaming that words can’t adequately describe. Experience and enjoy it. Before You Begin What’s included with the BodySound home entertainment chair: The BodySound home entertainment chair is available in two models. For a more complete description of the various components comprising these models, please refer to the Consumer Warranty section of this manual.

The BodySound Inc. Entertainment chair system has audio amplifier, located in the left arm of the chair, that is used to drive speakers installed in the back and seat cushions of the chair. A hand held wireless remote control uses a RF transceiver to communicate to the amplifier. The battery powered remote control uses an antenna integrated on the printed circuit board; the amplifier uses a 1/4- wave whip antenna fastened to the printed circuit board. An external power supply supplies power to the chair. The power supply connects to the mains supply and uses a protective earth ground.

Based on the highest field strength measured using a peak detector. The device is exempt from RF Evaluation because of it’s operating frequency of 433.9 MHz and ERP of 38.5 μW peak based on; ERP = E (dBuV/m) – 106.92 + 20 log D (km) = 83.23 dBμV/m pk – 106.92 + 20 log .003 = -74.15 dBk = 38.5 μW peak.
