DEQ-R Series User’s Manual
• LIGHT — If you wish, you can deactivate the numeric LED on your DEQ-R subwoofer by
pressing the LIGHT button on your remote. To reactivate the LED, press the LIGHT button
again. When the display has been deactivated, it will light only when you make adjustments
to the subwoofer controls and then turn off again.
• NIGHT — Night mode limits the maximum 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. Night mode, when active, will reduce the brightness of the LED.
• VOLUME CONTROL — This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to
the main speakers in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar volume level
of both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, the volume
level is shown on the numeric LED on the front panel.
WARNING: 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 as your front right and left channels. Refer to your receiver manual for the
individual channel level adjustment procedure. 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 operate properly.
Note: The volume can also be adjusted via the buttons on the back panel of the subwoofer.
These buttons have the same effect as pressing the up and down volume buttons on
your remote. The unit comes preset from the factory with the volume set at 30 out of 80.
• PRESETS — There are four listening presets, consisting of Movies, R&B – Rock,
Jazz – Classical, and Games. The presets provide the following characteristics for
bass reproduction:
Movies: Maximum output and impact for explosions and other
action adventure movie content.
R&B – Rock: Provides the driving bass found in today’s rock music.
Jazz – Classical: The tightest, cleanest, lowest distortion bass. The flattest frequency
response of the four presets.
Games: Maximum loudness available for the impact of video games.
