FEATURES
Audio Presets
The subwoofer comes with six audio presets, five of which are pre-programmed at the factory. The preset or preset’s numbers and their
corresponding labels on the remote are shown in the table below.
• Presets 1, 2, 3 and 5 are shipped from the factory with predetermined settings.
• Preset 4’s contour level is set at 0 from the factory and is customizable by the user.
• Preset 6 defeats all the EQs to demonstrate the effect the equalization of the subwoofer has on the sound quality.
Because movies, rock, pop and games may already have their bass emphasized in the recordings, using these presets may cause too much
low frequency boost for your listening preference. As such, the presets are offered purely to be used to personal taste and are not required for
the various source types.

6 Defeat 35 Hz 0.0 30 Defeats all EQs. Use to toggle between what
your system sounds like with and without EQ.
*The boost level is proportional to dB. That is, a boost of 5.0 is greater than a boost of 3.0. For no boost use 0.0. The boost frequency and
level are controlled by the contour frequency and contour level settings.
Night Mode
Night mode lowers the subwoofer volume by specifying a compression to a percentage of the overall volume level. The factory set, default
percentage for this setting is 30%. You might want to use night mode during times when you want to enjoy your sound system but you don’t
want to disturb your neighbors or other people in your house who are sleeping or need quiet time.
You can toggle night mode on and off using the NIGHT button on the remote control. When toggling night mode:
• You hear a volume change.
• And either “n” then the volume level or “n OFF” appears on the front LED display.
