Remote Guide

The supplied remote control is attached to the subwoofer with a string. Cut the string to remove it. The remote is the best tool for perfectly adjusting your subwoofer to achieve seamless blending with your main speakers. If you misplace your remote, the most often used controls are duplicated on the rear amp panel.

NOTE: If there is no unobstructed line of sight from your listening position to the display area of the subwoofer, the remote will not work. To remedy the problem, connect an IR remote repeater eye (optional, available from most audio/video specialty dealers) to the IR remote jack on the subwoofer’s amplifier panel.

1.Power: Press to toggle the unit on or off. “ON” or “OFF” will

be displayed in LED display. Note: if signal is sent to the subwoofer, it will automatically turn on again. After approximately 30 minutes of no signal, the unit will automatically turn off.

2.Mute: Pressing Mute turns the sound level of the subwoofer to zero. V00 will flash in the display. Hitting Mute again or Volume up or down will take the subwoofer out of mute state.

3.Volume up/down: Increases/decreases the subwoofer’s loud- ness. Note: the volume range goes from 0 to 40.

4.EQ: There are 4 program-specific equalization settings; EQ1, EQ2, EQ3 and EQ4, as well as EQ OFF. See Selecting EQ Modes on page 17 for more information.

5.Display: Pressing this button turns the display on or off. When commands are issued to the subwoofer, the display will be visible for a brief time (about six seconds) and then turn off.

6.Night mode: Engaging night mode compresses the dynamic range so that the peak bass volume level is reduced—ideal for late night listening or apartment dwellers who care about their neigh- bors. The display will show N_Y when this mode is engaged and N_N when it is turned off. When the subwoofer is turned off with night mode engaged, it will turn back on with night mode off.

7.LP up/down: The adjustable low-pass filter can be adjusted from 40 to 140 Hz.

8.Phase: Adjusts the relative phase of the output signal. There are four settings: 0° (displayed as 000), 90° (090), 180° (180), and 270° (270).

Getting Started

1.Power up the subwoofer using the On/Standby button.

2.Set volume to the V20 setting on the front panel display.

3.Set the LP (low-pass) control according to the chart on page 18 to start. The front panel display will show “L” and numerals when you are making adjustments to this control.

4.Push the Phase button until the display shows “0”.

5.Push the display button until the display shows "Off". As a starting point for EQ, OFF is the norm. Use the other four EQ positions to taste.
