“Q” Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the
crossfader to start and stop the CD play. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates the fader “Q” start
feature. When the fader “Q” start feature is activated sliding the CROSSFADER (10) from left to right
will play or cue any CD player connected to the CONTROLLER JACKS (20) on the rear of the unit.
For example, connect a compatible dual CD player connect to mixer channels one and two
(refer to your CD player manual for proper set-up). Be sure the Fader “Q” Start feature is
activated on both channels. Slide the crossfader to the channel one position (full left) and
begin playback on CD drive one. Slide the crossfader to the channel position (far right). This
will immediately trigger the play function on CD drive two and return CD drive one to cue
mode. To return to normal fader operation turn the Fader “Q” Start ON/OFF SWITCH to the
OFF position.
12. WOW CONTROL - This button is used to activate the SRS
®
WOW™ Process created by SRS Labs.
The WOW™ process is a combination of 3D Stereo Process and the TRU BASS™ Process. WOW™
creates extraordinary enhancement to the listening experience. Ordinary stereo presents a limited
spatial presentation, and often lack-luster bass (low frequency) performance. Any sound system can
deliver an audio performance with drastically improved image size, dynamics and immersion when
playing a signal processed with WOW™. Because the WOW™ effect combines the 3D Stereo™ Pro-
cess and the TRU BASS™ Process, the processing of the spatial cues surrounds the listener with a
holographic representation of the performance. In addition bass becomes deep, rich and controlled
through means that don’t require a speaker with a large woofer or cabinet size. In essence you may
eliminate the need of a separate sub-woofer.
13. TRU BASS CONTROL - This button is used to activate the SRS
®
(Sound Retrieval System
®
) TRU
BASS™ Process. TruBass circuity actively monitors the low-frequency content of an audio signal and
optimizes the frequency and amplitude spectrum of the output signal to enhance bass perception.
Whether you are limited by space, cost or implementation, for bass previously believed impossible.
This process creates deep, rich bass in headphones and speaker systems that have poor or little bass
response. Sub-woofer performance will be enhanced substantially. Unprecedented bass response will
virtually eliminates the need for large speakers to create low frequency fundamental tones and will in
several case eliminate the need for a sub-woofer all together. Be sure that the TRU BASS™ process
will not color the midrange or create bass not present on recordings. This process will only define any
bass present on a recording.
14. 3D ST CONTROL -
This button is used to activate the SRS
®
(Sound Retrieval System
®
) 3D Stereo
Process. SRS
®
retrieves the spatial information from recordings and restores the original three-dimen-
sional sound field. As a result, the reproduced sound is much closer to a live performance. Like live
performances, SRS
®
has no critical listening position (sweet spot). Listeners can move around the
room and continue to be immersed in full three-dimensional sound. A microphone does not possess
the ability to interpret the direction a sound is coming from in the same way that the human ear does.
However, when the audio source is recorded, directional audio cues are still present in the recording.
By breaking down the stereo signal into its various signal components, it is possible to isolate and
restore these spatial cues and place them in the proper space relative to the direct sounds, such as
a soloist or dialogue. These spatial cues are restored by the use of Head Related Transfer Functions
(HRTFs), which process ambient sounds via patented frequency response correction curves.
15. WIDTH CONTROL -
This knob is used to control the amount of SRS
®
3D process that is applied
to the output source signal.
16. TRUE BASS LEVEL -
This knob is used to control the amount of "TRU BASS" process that is
applied to the output source signal.
