Remote Control
The features of the SC-602 remote control are listed below..
• POWER — This button forces your SC-602 amplifier unit into
standby mode. The power led turns amber, the numeric led
shuts off, and the amplifier puts out no power. The unit will
remain in this mode until the PoWeR button is pressed again.
To fully deactivate (i.e. power down) the unit, use the main
power switch on the back panel.
Note: The master power switch on rear panel must be on in order
for the front power button to function.
• MUTE — This button mutes the subwoofer’s output. The led
on the amplifier will show 00 if the unit is muted. To unmute
the subwoofer, press the MUTe button again and the original
volume setting shows on the led.
• EQ — This button automatically equalizes the subwoofer’s
frequency response using a 5-band internal graphic equalizer.
Prior to engaging this feature, hook up either one or two SC-
600 subwoofers to the SC-602 amplifier. To use this feature,
first plug the supplied microphone into the Mic-In jack on the front panel of the amplifier and place
the mic in your preferred listening position. Then press EQ on the remote for about 2-3 seconds. The
subwoofer(s) emits 12 “sweep tones” that cover the frequencies between 20 and 150 Hz. The LED
displays “AU” during the Auto-EQ process. After the sweeps are complete, the unit saves its EQ settings
and returns to normal operation. To prevent accidental invocation of the EQ feature, you must hold down
the EQ button for 2-3 seconds before the EQ sweeps begin.
Note: Each time the EQ feature is utilized, the EQ settings for the SC-600D amplifier are reset. If the
microphone is not plugged in, the SC-600D amplifier will emit one or 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. Play some bass-heavy music. While listening, push one of the four phase buttons,
listen for a few moments, and then press the next phase button. In most installations, one of the four
button positions will offer an audibly better blend of subwoofer and speakers. Selecting the correct
phase position is just that easy. The LED will show the phase selected by showing “PH” followed by the
phase number: 0, 90, 180 or 270.
• LIGhT — If you wish, you can deactivate the numeric LED on your SC-602 amplifier. To do this, press
the LIGHT button on your remote. To reactivate the LED, press the LIGHT button again.
• NIGhT — night mode limits the maximum dynamic output of the subwoofer for late night listening or to
be more considerate of close neighbors. Press the night button to turn the night mode feature on or off.
Activation of night mode causes “n” to appear briefly on the display. When night mode is deactivated,
the display shows “n off” and then returns to normal function.
