•LIGHT - If you wish, you can deactivate the blue front panel light on your VDR unit. To do this, press the LIGHT button on your remote. The light will turn off. To reactivate the light, press the LIGHT button again.

•NIGHT - Night mode limits the maximum output of the subwoofer for later night listening or to be more considerate of close neighbors. Press the night button to turn the night mode feature on or off. Night mode, when active, is indicated by the reduced intensity of the light.

•VOLUME Control - This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar volume level from between both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, the speed at which the power light blinks indicates subwoofer volume - the faster the blinking, the louder the unit plays. after the volume blinking stops. the unit will blink out the actual volume number. Slower blinks represent tens, and faster blinks represent ones. So, for example, if the volume were set at 34, after the rapid blinking stopped you would observe three slow blinks followed by four faster blinks, indicating a volume of 34.

Note: The volume can also be adjusted via the buttons on the back panel of the subwoofer. These buttons have the same effect as pressing the up and down volume buttons on your remote. The unit comes preset from the factory with the volume set at 30% of maximum setting.
