The remote control is divided into three major sections. The top section
contains the controls used most often, such as ON/OFF, MUTE,
SUBWOOFER volume and system VOLUME controls. The middle section
has the source buttons, where you select the source component you
want to hear and see. The bottom set of buttons are set-up buttons that
are rarely used. Most folks will use them once to set up the system and
never touch them again. For that matter you could never touch them
and you’ll still get great sound from your Digital Solution system!
A—Surround On/Off Button
This button switches between surround sound and 2 channel stereo.
B—Subwoofer +/- Buttons
Push (+) to increase and (-) to decrease the bass volume. The preamp/
processor “remembers” the bass level for stereo and surround modes.
For example, if you are watching a DVD and you select a bass level of -7,
then switch to a CD in stereo and change the bass setting to -10, the
system will return to a bass setting of -7 when you go back to the
surround mode.
C—Power Switch
When this switch is pressed once, the power turns ON and lights appear
on the display panel. When pressed again, the power turns OFF and the
standby indicator light on the preamp/processor glows red. Make sure
the power switch on the back of the subwoofer enclosure is set to the
“Standby” position. When you turn on the preamp/processor, the
amplifiers in the subwoofer enclosure will also turn on and you will see
a green glow on the base of the subwoofer. When the preamp/processor
is turned “Off,” the amplifiers turn off and the light in the subwoofer
base glows red.
D—Volume +/- Buttons
Push (+) to increase and (-) to decrease the overall volume of the system.
E—Mute Button
Push this button to temporarily silence the sound. When mute is on, you
will see “MUTE” appear on the preamp/processor display. Pressing the
Mute button a second time or pressing either of the Volume buttons will
release the mute, sound will resume, and the MUTE light turns off.
F—+/- Radio Tuner Button
When either the AM or FM sources are selected, these buttons allow
you to manually tune AM and FM radio stations. Pressing the right (+)
side of the rocker button moves the tuner up the radio band. Pressing
the left (-) side of the rocker button moves the tuner down the radio
band. If you hold your finger on the button for a few seconds, the tuner
will “fast forward” through the frequencies. The tuner stops as soon as
you push the button a second time.
G—+/- Radio Preset Button
This button selects from the list of preset radio stations. Pushing the
right (+) side of the rocker button moves from lower preset numbers to
the higher preset numbers. Pushing the left (-) side of the rocker button
moves down through the list of preset stations. See page 22 for more
information on using this feature.
H—Late Night Button
This button toggles between Late Night and Normal modes. In the Late
Night mode the dynamic range of the signal is reduced. That means that
loud sounds are made less loud. This is a great feature to use anytime
you want to watch action/adventure movies and avoid bothering other
people in the house. This feature only works with Dolby Digital inputs
such as DVD, LD, and Dolby Digital equipped DSS. When you push this
button, the word “NIGHT ON” appears in the main display window for a
few seconds and the small
mode light in the lower right hand
corner of the display illuminates. Push the button again and “NIGHT
OFF” appears for a few seconds. (See page 22.)
I—FM and AM Buttons
Push the AM button to listen to AM band radio stations or push the FM
button to listen to FM radio band radio stations.
J—Preset Scan Button
Push this button when you want to scan through the radio stations you
have preset. The tuner will play each preset station for a few seconds,
then move on to the next preset station. The scanning stops as soon as
you push the button again.
will flash in the display window
while this mode is in use.
K—Audio Input Buttons
Push these buttons to listen to either CD or tape players.
L—Video/Audio Input Buttons
Push the appropriate button to select an audio/video source.
Both audio and video inputs will be selected at the same time.
M—Status Button
Push this button to display the audio status of the preamp/processor on
your TV screen for five (5) seconds. It will display the current source
(DVD, FM, etc.), the mode (Dolby Digital, Pro Logic, Stereo), Multi-
Room status (“off” or the selected multi-room source), Subwoofer Level,
and Master Volume level.
N—Balance Button

screen. See “SET UP AND CALIBRATION” on page 19.
O—Delay Button

See “SET UP AND CALIBRATION” on page 19.
P—Multi-Room Button

These buttons allow you to change the position of the cursor and
make selections on the on-screen menus. The ▲ and ▼ arrow buttons

and arrow
buttons make selections such as “On” and “Off” and other menu choices.
