PREAMP/PROCESSOR FRONT PANEL

GUIDED TOUR

Power Switch And Standby Indicator

When this switch is pressed once, the power turns ON and lights appear on the Main Display panel. When pressed again, the power turns OFF and the standby indicator light glows red. Make sure the Power switch on the back of the subwoofer enclosure is set to the “On” position. When you turn on the preamp/processor, the amplifiers in the subwoofer enclosure will also turn on and you will see a green glow on the base of the subwoofer. When the preamp/processor is turned “Off” the amplifiers turn off, and the light in the subwoofer base glows red.

Main Display

Displays a variety of information depending on what action was most recently taken. Normally, it indicates the current selected input (CD, DVD, etc.). It also displays the current selected surround mode (Stereo, Pro Logic, or Dolby Digital) as well as volume, bass level, and other information on a “flash” basis. See the next page for an explanation of all those little teeny lights.

Volume Control

Adjusts the overall sound level. Turning the control clockwise increases the sound level, turning it counter-clockwise decreases the volume level.

Remote Sensor Window

This window receives infrared signals from the remote control unit. Aim the remote control unit to this sensor window. Do not allow any solid object to block the path between the remote control and this window.

Source Selector Buttons

These buttons are used to select the source of sound and video such as DVD, DSS, VCR, LD, and AUX. Video and audio are switched simultaneously on those inputs that have both video and audio input jacks. For example, when you select DVD, the picture and sound of the DVD player are automatically switched on together. The buttons toggle through the inputs in the following sequence:

See page 22 for more information on using this feature.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The FM radio, AM radio, CD, and Tape audio inputs do not have corresponding video inputs. When you select any of these sources, you will see a blank screen on your TV (if your TV is on).
