Chapter 5 – Controlling the Sound

Convenience and Advanced Features and Indicators:

Some of the Sound Bar’s features are accessible only by the dedicated remote control buttons discussed below and on the following page.

Sub-Woofer Volume:

The remote control SUB+ and SUB- buttons adjust the volume of an optional sub-woofer connected to the SUB OUT jack on the Sound Bar’s rear panel. The connected sub-woofer must be self-powered as the Sound Bar’s SUB OUT is line level audio only. The Sound Bar’s front panel LEDs will indicate the SUB OUT level from minimum to maximum as shown below. The LEDs will turn off after about 5 seconds. Once you have set the SUB OUT level, it will increase and decrease with the Sound Bar’s main VOL+ and VOL- buttons. When the Sound Bar is MUTED, the connected sub-woofer will also be muted.

Muting the Volume:

To quickly turn down the Sound Bar’s output (and any connected sub-woofer), press the MUTE button on the remote control. When MUTED the Sound Bar’s volume LEDs will blink at the current volume setting. Press the MUTE button again to resume listening to the Sound Bar.

Tone modes:

Press the tone M-G-S button on the remote control to cycle through the tone modes indicated by LEDs as shown below. Note that TONE Mode changes are slight and may be difficult to hear depending on your listening environment and source material.
