Power Saving Eciency
All REL sub bass system designs ulize a true Power On-O switch that aords the owner the ability to
turn o their unit completely, without having to unplug the A/C mains cord. When a REL sub bass system is
switched o using the Power On-O switch on the rear panel it draws ZERO power.
In addion to the power switch there is an OFF/ON/AUTO mode switch has three posions. Far le is OFF,
middle is ALWAYS ON and far right is AUTO.
The SerieHT features an AUTO standby mode that is enabled when the power mode switch on the rear of
the unit is set to the “AUTO” posion. In this mode, the input signal is constantly monitored for audio acvity.
If not audio informaon is detected over a period of 30 minutes, the unit will enter a low power standby
mode in which less power is consumed. When input signal acvity is detected, the unit resumes normal
operaon. By using the standby mode, you can ensure that there is no unnecessary power draw when the
unit is not in use.
Note: Due to variaons in program material, it is impossible to produce a perfectly reliable standby circuit.
Bass rich music or eects will consistently trigger our standby circuit whilst content that is low in volume and
possesses lile or no bass cannot be relied upon to trip the standby funcon.
Alternavely, the user has the opon to leave the unit in the normal operaon mode at all mes by selecng
the “ON” posion of the power mode switch. Leaving a REL on, produces the best sonic performance and
the most reliable operaon. In this mode, the unit will not enter standby regardless of whether or not there
is acvity at the input. Using this seng ensures that the SerieHT is ready to react instantaneously to bass
transients, whether in music or lms.
