Brightness, Contrast, Font, and Text Display
The Bright [ ] button on your remote lets you change the brightness of your display using the Left/Right arrows [◁ ▷] . For SoundBridge M1000, text size and font options can be controlled using the Up/Down arrows. (M1000 can display one line or two lines at once.)
Brightness & Time Format While in Standby
While your SoundBridge is in Standby mode (when the unit displays the time and is not playing music), you can adjust the brightness and format of the time on the display.
•Use the Right/Left [◁ ▷] to adjust the brightness of your display. Pressing Left [◁ ] dims the clock display; pressing Right [▷] brightens it. These settings do not affect the brightness settings of the display when playing Internet or network music libraries.
•Use Up/Down [ △ ▽ ] to change the time format. You can display large or small fonts, display the time but not the date, and display the time and date. These settings do not apply to when you are listening to the radio or your music libraries.

You can customize the clock display in a number of ways:
1.When in Standby mode, use the Left/Right [◁ ▷] arrows to adjust the brightness of the clock display. (This will not affect the brightness settings of the display when in regular playback mode.) Turn the brightness all the way down until you see the word “Standby” to have the screen go completely blank when in Standby. If the screen is blank, pressing the Select [] key will momentarily display the time and date.
2.When in Standby mode, use the Up/Down [ △ ▽] arrows to cycle through modes of display. For example, you can display large and small fonts, display the time but not the date, etc. (Again, these settings will not be applied to your display when you resume SoundBridge’s regular playback mode.)
3.Use the SoundBridge web page to configure the format of the date and time. You can also turn off the clock display altogether. Please see the “SoundBridge Web Interface” chapter of this user guide for instructions on launching your SoundBridge web page.
