DPS User’s Manual
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some manufacturers preset their receivers with the Sub-Out channel
signal at a minimum level. It is very important to verify that your receiver Sub-Out channel is set
to the same output level, or higher, as your front right and left channels. Refer to your receiver
manual for the individual channel level adjustment procedure.
WARNING: If your receiver Sub-Out channel is set too low, the subwoofer may appear
to have a weak output, it may sound noisy or distorted, and the Auto-On/Off feature
may not work properly.
A u t o - O n / O f f F e a t u r e
The auto-on/off feature allows the subwoofer to turn itself off when not in use. On the top front
panel display; press both the left button (Movies) and right button (Games).
NOTE: When pressing both the Movies and the Games buttons, the timing is critical - both
buttons must be depressed at exactly the same time for the feature to work.
- If the center LED blinks for approximately five seconds, the auto-on/off feature is activated.
If activated, the subwoofer will monitor its input, and if there is no signal present for
approximately 15 minutes, it will shut down and go into standby mode. As soon as a signal
is present again, the subwoofer will immediately turn itself back on.
- If the center LED blinks for approximately two seconds, the auto-on/off feature is
bypassed. The subwoofer will remain on until the power switch is turned off.
WARNING: If the Sub-Out channel signal level from your receiver is too weak, this feature will
not operate properly. See VOLUME CONTROL section.

If you wish, you can deactivate the blue front panel lights on your DPS unit. To do this, press
both the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously — the power and preset lights
should turn off. To reactivate the lights, press both volume buttons again.
