Advanced bass management continued
Bass Augment can be a useful function with PLII and Neo:6 material because these encoding types do not include an LFE Channel. This would normally mean that if all the speakers in your setup were set to ‘Large’, the subwoofer would in fact be inactive (as no bass has been re- directed plus there is no LFE channel). If it is desired to have the subwoofer running with all Large Speakers and these encoding types, enable Bass Augment for PLII/Neo:6 and then set the Crossover point and level by ear. A Sub channel will now be created from the Front Left and Right channels without filtering them. As with all adjustments it is a good idea to experiment to determine what works best with your particular setup.
Note: In Advanced Sub On mode, the Subwoofer level control in the ‘Level Calibration’ menu will be inactive. This is because this setting is overwritten by the three appropriate Sub Trim settings from the ‘Advanced Sub’ menu.

In addition the 540R v3 features ‘direct’ IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for many of their features to simplify programming custom installation systems. Special direct On/Off commands can be accessed on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:
1.Press and hold the Standby/On button on the remote control. The remote first generates it's standby (toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12 seconds an AV receiver ‘On’ command will be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12 seconds, an AV receiver ‘Off’ command is generated.
Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and Tuner FM/AM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner FM/AM button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to a specific band.
A full IR code table and RS232 protocol for this product is available on the Cambridge Audio website at:
