1.Power Switch

Pushing this button is all that is required to turn on the unit if it is not part of a JBL Performance Series system and the Main Power Switch

￿ is in the On position.

2.Standby Indicator

This indicator on the front-panel Power Switch ¡ will glow red when the JBL BassQ unit is in the Standby mode, whether it is operating as part of a JBL Performance Series system or not. When the unit is in the On mode, this light will turn blue.

3.Input Overload

The light will glow orange when an overload to the input occurs during testing. If this lights during testing, you should lower the level control on the subwoofer. It may be neces- sary to lower it significantly for the test, but the level control should be raised back to normal levels after the test is completed.

4.BassQ

Pressing this button runs the sub- woofer test and calibrates the sys- tem. The indicator light will be off if the calibration has not been per- formed. The indicator light flashes blue during the process to indicate that the system is being calibrated. The indicator light will be solid blue once the calibration is complete.

5.Movie

Pressing this button toggles between the Movie EQ mode and Music EQ mode. The indicator light will glow blue when Movie mode is selected, and remain off when the JBL BassQ unit is in Music mode.

6.Stereo

Pressing this button toggles between Stereo and Mono inputs on the rear panel. The indicator light will be lit when the input is set to Stereo input and be off when set to Mono input. This needs to match the input con- figuration on the rear panel and should not be changed once it is set. Use the Mono setting for the AV1 or other processor that uses an LFE output. Use Stereo setting for processors that include stereo subwoofer outputs.

7.Bypass

Pressing this button bypasses all JBL BassQ processing. The indicator light will glow blue when Bypass

is engaged.

8.Subwoofer Indicators

After the JBL BassQ system has completed the calibration, the indicator light will flash to confirm which subwoofers are active and have been calibrated. The lights will flash again when the system is turned on or taken out of Standby, but will not remain lit during normal operation.

9.Microphone Inputs

Connect the four included micro- phones into these inputs. The microphones should be placed in the appropriate seating locations. Please refer to the diagram on page 10.

10.IR Sensor

The IR sensor allows use of the included remote control to operate the unit from across the room. The IR sensor must not be blocked, in order for it to operate properly.
