DSWPRO REMOTE CONTROL

IR Receiver

DSWPRO Series subwoofers come with a

 

credit card sized remote control. All com-

 

mands are sent to the subwoofer via IR

 

control. The IR receiver is located on the

 

front of the subwoofer when the subwoofer

 

is in its downward firing configuration.

 

The remote control has the following features:

Power

Volume

4 Button Phase Control

(0, 90, 180 and 270 degree settings)

4 Button Polk Room Optimizer

(PRO) presets

Mute function

Night function allows you to hear low-level bass detail at lower volumes. If you have the volume at 30 and press “night,“ the volume is reduced by 50%, in this example to 15. Pressing “night“ a second time restores the volume to its original setting.

Pressing Volume+ (or Volume-) incrementally increases (or decreases) the volume in the normal manner and takes the subwoofer out of “night“ mode. Also, the LED shines at a reduced intensity when the subwoofer is in “night“ mode.

Reset button restores the woofer’s settings to factory presets. Hold down for two (2) seconds.

LED turns LED On/Off. The amplifier remains active.

Important: To activate the remote control for the first time, remove the plastic tab.

WHAT IS THAT BLINKING BLUE LIGHT?

Behind the logo badge on the front of your subwoofer there is a blue LED. The blue light blinks whenever you press a button on the subwoofer’s remote control. The light lets you know that the subwoofer has received the command and is enabling the function you’ve selected. The following table describes each button’s function and how the LED communicates to you:
