Parasound P 7 manual Remote Control Operation

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION 21

The P 7 remote control has a maximum range of approximately 20 – 25 feet (6 – 7.5 meters). Use only AAA alkaline batteries in the handset and insert them according to the + and – polarity markings in its battery compartment.

Off and On Buttons – These buttons have the same function as the On-Off button on the front panel. These separate buttons enable programming “hard” off and on commands into a system controller or to create a macro sequence for a learning-type remote control.

Trigger Off and On Buttons – The 12V Trigger Event jack on the rear panel labeled “Remote” is activated by pressing these buttons. The Remote trigger jack could be useful for activating additional accessories such as a projection screen or lights.

Treble and Bass Buttons – These offer precision adjustment of tonal balance. To preserve sonic clarity, use these controls sparingly. You will fi nd that very slight adjustments can add a degree of warmth, richness, clarity or airiness. However, larger adjustments may obscure musical details, and even risk overloading your speakers. The bass and treble controls are only active when the tone controls are turned on by pressing the Tone Bypass button.

Subwoofer Trim – Subwoofer level trim is adjusted by fi rst pressing the Enter button and then the Bass Up or Bass Down buttons on the remote. There are two independent subwoofer trim memory settings, one level setting is for the stereo inputs (Inputs

1-8) and another level setting is for the multichannel inputs (Inputs 9 and 10). The subwoofer trim is only active when the trim controls are turned on by pressing the Cancel Trims button.

Cancel Trims Button – Pressing this button once disengages the subwoofer trim and balance settings. Pressing this button a second time re-engages the subwoofer trim and balance settings. Balance trim settings include both Left/Right balance and Front/ Back balance.

Tone Bypass Button – Pressing this button once engages the bass and treble tone control circuitry. Pressing this button a second time disengages the tone control circuitry. Turning the tone controls off will give greater audiophile purity by reducing the noise and distortion that is inherent in the tone control circuits.

Dim Display Button – Each press of the Dim button decreases the brightness of the front panel display tube, the buttons and P badge illumination. After pressing the Dim button 4 times the front panel display tube will go completely dark. In this mode the display will remain completely dark until any button on the remote or front panel is pressed. The display will then turn back on at a dim setting.
