Room Correction

This screen is used to activate the automatic Adaptive Room Correction (ARC) feature. Plug the supplied microphone into the “MIC IN” jack on the subwoofer’s rear panel and place it in the intended listening position. Press the Enter key to activate the calibration sequence. “Calibrate” will be displayed along with the ascending frequency of the test tone and a bar graph of the sound level (loudness). The subwoofer will measure the room’s acoustic effect and compensate for it. When the calibration sequence is complete, “Calibration Successful!” will be displayed. If the subwoofer’s volume level is too low or the microphone was either disconnected or improp- erly connected, “Calibration Unsuccessful” will be displayed. From this screen, press the Down or Up touch key to access other control settings.

Save Settings

This screen is used to store all of the above control settings in one of five memory presets (“Movie”, “Music”, “Night”, “User 1” and “User 2”). Use the Left/Right touch keys to select the desired preset and press the Enter key to store your current control settings. “Settings Saved!” will be displayed. After the settings are stored in memory the display will return to the default “Volume” adjustment screen. All of the user settings in the five presets can be erased and restored to their default values by scrolling down to the last “System Info” screen. Press the Right touch key twice to get to the “System Reset” screen. Press the Enter key and all user settings will be replaced with the default settings. “Reset Complete!” will be displayed. From this screen press the Down or Up touch key to access other control settings.

Power

This screen is used to select the “Auto On” or the “Always On” power mode for the subwoofer’s amplifier. Use the Left/Right touch keys to select between these two modes. When “Auto On” is selected, the subwoofer will auto- matically turn on when it senses a signal. It will automatically turn off after 20 minutes if no signal is present and the display screen will show “Standby”. In the “Always On” setting, the subwoofer will remain on as long as the main AC power switch on the subwoofer’s rear panel is in the “On” position. From this screen, press the Down or Up touch key to access other control settings.
