Selecting EXT On or Off
EXT stands for Extension, in this case Low Frequency Extension. Dynaudio subwoofers allow for deep and accurate bass response even at high levels. In the EXT Off mode, the very deepest bass will be mildly filtered; this will allow the subwoofer to achieve even higher sound pressure levels. Generally speaking, this setting is best suited for movies and most music. Some movies and high quality, audiophile recordings can contain extreme low frequencies. To experience these:
•Press the EXT On button (lower button in No. 4, fig. 6) to switch Low Frequency extension on.
•Together with the other settings, the Low Frequency Extension status can be stored in one of the 4 presets. This way, you can program the EXT switched On as part of a setting for "audiophile listening" and program EXT Off as part of a setting for "cinema mode" for instance. Refer to section "Storing and recalling Presets" in this chapter.
•If you use a turntable, you will get the best results with EXT switched off. Many vinyl records contain, and the turntable itself will generate, very low frequencies (rumble) which, with the subwoofers low frequencies capabilities can otherwise prove distracting from enjoying the music.
•The EXT mode is disabled when the subwoofer is set to "Slave" mode. Refer also to section "Master and Slave Mode" in this chapter.

Storing and recalling presets
With four presets available you have the flexibility of recalling different sets of subwoofer settings, depending on what suits the occasion best. For instance, you may store the settings best suited for classical music setting under Preset A, program Preset B to have the best settings for action movies and program Preset C for
The presets are also an excellent tool for recalling different settings when experimenting with either location or settings of the subwoofer.
Once you have stored all presets, you can choose to block access to storing, so that presets can not be

To store a preset:
•Ensure that Preset programming hasn't been blocked: The Preset/Settings switch on the subwoofers back panel (No. 8 in fig. 2) must be in the "Store" position.

•Press and hold the desired Preset A, B, C or D button (No. 6 in fig. 6) for 3 seconds. Ensure that the subwoofer receives the commands from the remote control without interruption.
