Temporary Manual Mode for On/Standby
It is possible to temporarily override Automatic switching:
Briefly pressing the green "I" (Power On) button on the
remote will switch the subwoofer to On, even if no signal is
present. Note that if no music signal presents itself within
20 minutes, the subwoofer will switch back to Standby
again.
Briefly pressing the red "O" (Power Standby) button will
switch the subwoofer to Standby, even if a music signal is
still present. Note that on the next occasion a music signal
presents itself (after a 20 minute silence), the subwoofer
will switch to On again automatically.
If you prefer the subwoofer to stay switched On or to
Standby all the time -regardless of Input signal- you can
override the Automatic mode completely in two different
ways. The Manual status LED (top button in No. 2 in fig. 6)
indicates to which state the subwoofer is set: Manual LED
is lit green; in Automatic mode, LED is off.
Press and hold the green "I' button (top button in No. 2 in
fig. 6) for 2 seconds to set to Manual Standby/On
switching: The Manual status LED (No. 1 in fig. 7) will
light up green. If the subwoofer was already switched
On, it will remain On; if it was set to Standby, it will switch
to On.
Press and hold the red "O' button (lower button in No. 2
in fig. 6) for 2 seconds to set to Manual Standby/On
switching: The Manual status LED (top button in No. 2 in
fig. 6) will light up green. If the subwoofer was already
switched to Standby, it will remain in Standby; if it was
switched On, it will switch to Standby.
The subwoofer can be switched from Standby either
manually or automatically. The subwoofer is factory-set at
Automatic, as this will be the most convenient setting in
most cases.
Back to Automatic mode:
Press either the "I" or "O" button briefly. Regardless if the
subwoofer is switched On or in Standby mode, the
subwoofer will switch back to Automatic mode again: The
Manual status LED will extinguish.
Unlike all other functions on the remote control,
the On/Standby buttons remain active when the
subwoofer is set to "Slave" mode.
When powering up, the subwoofer always reverts
to the same settings as when it was switched off.
Even if mains power is removed completely for a
prolonged period of time, the last settings will be
retained.
Subwoofer Level control
Press Level + (upper button No. 1 fig. 6) to increase the
volume of the subwoofer, release when the desired level
has been reached. Each short, momentary press will
increase the volume level with 1 dB.
Press Level - (lower button No. 1 in fig. 6) to decrease
the volume of the subwoofer, release when the desired
level has been reached. Each short, momentary press
will decrease the volume level with 1 dB.
The right volume level is one of the critical aspects of
correct and seamless integration of any subwoofer as part
of a speaker system. Please refer to the chapter "Finding
the correct settings" for more information.
Together with the other settings, the volume level
can be stored in one of the 4 presets. Refer to
section "Storing and recalling Presets" in this
chapter. Together with the other settings Cross-
over frequency and Phase we recommend that,
once found, you store the optimum volume level
into one of the presets.
The Volume control is disabled when the
subwoofer is set to "Slave" mode. Refer also to
section "Master and Slave Mode" in this chapter.
