(2) VOLUME Control
This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar volume level from between both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, the speed at which the power light blinks indicates subwoofer volume - the faster the blinking, the louder the unit plays. After the volume blinking stops, the unit will blink out the actual volume number. Slower blinks represent tens, and faster blinks represent ones. So, for example, if the volume were set at 34, after the rapid blinking stopped you would observe three slow blinks followed by four faster blinks, indicating a volume of 34.
Note: Volume is also controllable by using the supplied remote, when defaults are restored. The default is 30 out of 100.
