Volume, LP Filter, Phase and EQ
controls are duplicated on the
amp panel.
Remote Guide
The supplied remote control is attached to the subwoofer with a string. Cut the string to remove it. The remote is the best tool for
perfectly adjusting your subwoofer to achieve seamless blending with your main speakers. If you misplace your remote, the most
often used controls are duplicated on the rear amp panel.
NOTE: If there is no unobstructed line of sight from your listening position to the display area of the subwoofer, the remote will not
work. To remedy the problem, connect an IR remote repeater eye (optional, available from most audio/video specialty dealers) to the
IR remote jack on the subwoofer's amplifier panel.
1. Power: Press to toggle the unit on or off. "ON" or "OFF" will
be displayed in LED display. Note: if signal is sent to the subwoofer,
it will automatically turn on again. After approximately 30 minutes
of no signal, the unit will automatically turn off.
2. Mute: Pressing Mute turns the sound level of the subwoofer to
zero. V00 will flash in the display. Hitting Mute again or Volume up
or down will take the subwoofer out of mute state.
3. Volume up/down: Increases/decreases the subwoofer's loud-
ness. Note: the volume range goes from 0 to 40.
4. EQ: There are 4 program-specific equalization settings; EQ1,
EQ2, EQ3 and EQ4, as well as EQ OFF. See Selecting EQ Modes on
page 17 for more information.
5. Display: Pressing this button turns the display on or off. When
commands are issued to the subwoofer, the display will be visible
for a brief time (about six seconds) and then turn off.
6. Night mode: Engaging night mode compresses the dynamic
range so that the peak bass volume level is reduced—ideal for late
night listening or apartment dwellers who care about their neigh-
bors. The display will show N_Y when this mode is engaged and
N_N when it is turned off. When the subwoofer is turned off with
night mode engaged, it will turn back on with night mode off.

270° (270).
