Control Features

Headphones: The 1/8” stereo headphone output jack, located on the rear of the master speaker, turns off the two speakers. The main volume control will adjust the headphone output.

Note: The PM20 LED indicator will light up purple when the headphone jack is in use.

Aux: The Auxiliary input jack is used with portable audio players. This signal will be mixed with the main source. To obtain the proper balance with the main signal, the levels in the computer software and in the portable player may need to be adjusted. An example would be listening to an MP3 player while surfing the net and hearing associated sounds from various websites. The mixed sound may not be desirable, and you will ultimately determine how you use this feature.

Note: During playback of MP3 files, overall sound quality may be perceptibly degraded compared to other audio sources such as CD. This is caused by the encoding method and quality of the MP3 file. Higher bit rates will yield a better listening experience.

LED Indicator Color Guide

The LED indicator located on the front of the PM20 is used to indicate the following states of the system.

Solid Red

The system is in “Standby” mode. Pushing the knob will turn the system “On”.

Solid Blue

The system is “On”. Pushing the knob will put the system in “Standby” mode. When the LED is solid blue the knob will adjust the systems volume. Pushing and holding the knob for three (3) seconds in this mode will put the system in bass level adjust mode and cause the LED to flash blue.

Flashing Blue
