Bass Augment can be a useful function with PLII and Neo:6 material
because these encoding types do not include an LFE Channel. This
would normally mean that if all the speakers in your setup were set to
‘Large’, the subwoofer would in fact be inactive (as no bass has been re-
directed plus there is no LFE channel). If it is desired to have the
subwoofer running with all Large Speakers and these encoding types,
enable Bass Augment for PLII/Neo:6 and then set the Crossover point
and level by ear. A Sub channel will now be created from the Front Left
and Right channels without filtering them. As with all adjustments it is a
good idea to experiment to determine what works best with your
particular setup.
Note:
In Advanced Sub On mode, the Subwoofer level control in the ‘Level
Calibration’ menu will be inactive. This is because this setting is
overwritten by the three appropriate Sub Trim settings from the ‘Advanced
Sub’ menu.

Advanced bass management continued
The 540R v3 features an IR Emitter input that allows
modulated IR remote control commands to be received
electrically by the unit. These control commands are
typically generated by custom installation (multi-room)
systems or remote IR receiver systems. An RS232 port is
also featured which allows the 540R v3 to be controlled by
C.I. systems.
In addition the 540R v3 features ‘direct’ IR/Control codes as well as
toggle codes for many of their features to simplify programming custom
installation systems. Special direct On/Off commands can be accessed
on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:
1. Press and hold the Standby/On button on the remote control. The
remote first generates it's standby (toggle) command. Keep the
button held down, after 12 seconds an AV receiver ‘On’ command will
be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12
seconds, an AV receiver ‘Off’ command is generated.
Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and
Tuner FM/AM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner FM/AM
button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to
a specific band.
A full IR code table and RS232 protocol for this product is available on

Reset/Back-up memory
The 540R v3 has a function that preserves the preset memory and
other settings. In the event of a power failure, or if the power cord of the
unit is disconnected from the mains outlet, the back-up memory will
preserve the preset memory for approximately one week. If the power
supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the memory settings will be
erased.
If it is desired to reset all settings to their factory defaults (or in the
unlikely event that the unit locks up due to an electrical discharge etc),
with the unit on and out of Standby mode press and hold the DVD and
6.1 Direct buttons on the front panel for three seconds:
‘RESET’ will appear briefly on the front panel display before returning to
Standby mode.
