EQ
This button automatically
EQs
the
subwoofer using a 6-band internal
parametric
equalizer.
To
use this feature,
first
plug
the
supplied microphone into the
Mic
Input jack
on
the
front
panel of
the
subwoofer and place
the
mic
on
its stand and
in
your preferred listening position. Then,
by
pressing
EQ
on
the
remote,
the
subwoofer emits
12
"sweep tones"
that
cover the frequencies
between
20
and
150
Hz.
After
the sweeps are complete, the unit calculates and saves its
EQ
settings,
then
returns
to
normal operation.
In
order
to
avoid accidentally activating the
EQ
feature, you will need
to
hold down the
EQ
button
for
1
to
2 seconds before the
EQ
sweep tones
activate.
NOTE: Each
time
the
EQ
feature is utilized, the
EQ
settings
for
the Optimum subwoofer are
reset. If
the
microphone is
not
plugged in,
the
Optimum subwoofer will
emit
two
sweep tones
then
cease
the
EQ
operation.
In
this case,
the
previous
EQ
settings will
be
preserved.
PHASE
These buttons allow
you
to
optimize the subwoofer performance
for
the location and your
listening position. Select
the
switch position
at
which
you
hear
the
most
bass. The setting will
be shown in the
front
panel display
by
"PH" followed
by
the phase setting selected -
0,
90,
1
80
or
270
degrees.
LIGHT
If you wish, you can deactivate the blue
front
panel display
on
your Optimum unit.
To
do
this,
press
the LIGHT button on your remote. The display will
turn
off. It will
turn
on
briefly
to
reflect any
other
setting changes while deactivated.
To
reactivate
the
display, press
the
LIGHT
button again.
NIGHT
Night
mode limits
the
maximum output of the subwoofer
for
later night listening
or
to
be
more
considerate
of
close neighbors. Press
the
night button
to
turn
the night mode feature
on
or
off. Night mode, when active, is indicated
by
the
reduced intensity of the display.
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
both the main speakers
and subwoofer.
When
pressing the volume up
or
down,
the
setting is shown
in
the
front-
mounted
LED
display as a number between
00
and
80.
NOTE: The volume can also
be
adjusted
via
the buttons
on
the back panel of the subwoofer.
These buttons have the same effect as pressing the up and down volume buttons
on
your
remote. The unit comes
preset
from the factory with the volume
set
at
30
out
of a maximum
setting of
80.
