Temporary Manual Mode for On/Standby

It is possible to temporarily override Automatic switching: Briefly pressing the green "I" (Power On) button on the remote will switch the subwoofer to On, even if no signal is present. Note that if no music signal presents itself within 20 minutes, the subwoofer will switch back to Standby again.

Briefly pressing the red "O" (Power Standby) button will switch the subwoofer to Standby, even if a music signal is still present. Note that on the next occasion a music signal presents itself (after a 20 minute silence), the subwoofer will switch to On again automatically.

If you prefer the subwoofer to stay switched On or to Standby all the time -regardless of Input signal- you can override the Automatic mode completely in two different ways. The Manual status LED (top button in No. 2 in fig. 6) indicates to which state the subwoofer is set: Manual LED is lit green; in Automatic mode, LED is off.

Press and hold the green "I' button (top button in No. 2 in fig. 6) for 2 seconds to set to Manual Standby/On switching: The Manual status LED (No. 1 in fig. 7) will light up green. If the subwoofer was already switched On, it will remain On; if it was set to Standby, it will switch to On.

Press and hold the red "O' button (lower button in No. 2 in fig. 6) for 2 seconds to set to Manual Standby/On switching: The Manual status LED (top button in No. 2 in fig. 6) will light up green. If the subwoofer was already switched to Standby, it will remain in Standby; if it was switched On, it will switch to Standby.

The subwoofer can be switched from Standby either manually or automatically. The subwoofer is factory-set at Automatic, as this will be the most convenient setting in most cases.

Back to Automatic mode:

Press either the "I" or "O" button briefly. Regardless if the subwoofer is switched On or in Standby mode, the subwoofer will switch back to Automatic mode again: The Manual status LED will extinguish.

• Unlike all other functions on the remote control, the On/Standby buttons remain active when the subwoofer is set to "Slave" mode.

When powering up, the subwoofer always reverts to the same settings as when it was switched off. Even if mains power is removed completely for a prolonged period of time, the last settings will be retained.

Subwoofer Level control

Press Level + (upper button No. 1 fig. 6) to increase the volume of the subwoofer, release when the desired level has been reached. Each short, momentary press will increase the volume level with 1 dB.

Press Level - (lower button No. 1 in fig. 6) to decrease the volume of the subwoofer, release when the desired level has been reached. Each short, momentary press will decrease the volume level with 1 dB.

The right volume level is one of the critical aspects of correct and seamless integration of any subwoofer as part of a speaker system. Please refer to the chapter "Finding the correct settings" for more information.

• Together with the other settings, the volume level can be stored in one of the 4 presets. Refer to section "Storing and recalling Presets" in this chapter. Together with the other settings Cross- over frequency and Phase we recommend that, once found, you store the optimum volume level into one of the presets.

The Volume control is disabled when the subwoofer is set to "Slave" mode. Refer also to section "Master and Slave Mode" in this chapter.
