Remote Control

This section describes how to use your Wi-Q subwoofer remote control.

Power:

Puts your subwoofer in reduced-power mode, which stops play

and turns off the display. Press this button again to return to full operation.
This function is subordinate to the standby mode on the rear panel, and
you must restart the subwoofer if that feature has triggered. To fully turn off
the subwoofer, press the POWER switch on the back of the subwoofer.

Mute:

Silences the subwoofer’s output and the LED on the sub shows 00.

To unmute the subwoofer, press the MUTE button again and the original
volume setting shows on the LED.

EQ:

Runs the automatic equalizer, so your Wi-Q subwoofer sounds best

for its position in the room. See

Step 6: Run Auto-EQ

for details on using

this feature.

Phase:

Optimizes the subwoofer’s bass performance relative to the

speakers and your listening position. This control changes the phase of the
subwoofer’s output signal to correct mismatches and resulting
cancellation between the subwoofer and your main speakers/amplifier.
The phase setting shows on the LED as “PH” followed by the phase
number: 0, 90, 180 or 270. See

Step 7: Set the Phase

for details on using

this feature.

Light:

Turns the numeric LED on your subwoofer off. To reactivate the LED,

press the LIGHT button again. When the LED is off, it lights only when you
make adjustments to the subwoofer controls and then turns off again.

Night:

Limits the maximum dynamic output of the subwoofer for late night

listening or considering close neighbors at any time. Press the NIGHT
button to turn night mode on/off. When you activate night mode, the LED
briefly displays “n.” When you deactivate night mode, the LED shows “n
off” and then returns to normal function.

Volume Control:

Balances the output from the subwoofer to the main

speakers in your system. Use this control to achieve similar volume levels
from both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, the LED displays the volume level.

Note:

The remote control included with your specific subwoofer may not look the same as the remote

control shown in the illustration, but the functions and performance are identical to those described here.

Note:

You can also adjust the subwoofer’s volume with the Volume buttons on the back of the

subwoofer. These buttons have the same effect as pressing the up and down volume buttons on your
remote. The default volume setting is 30 out of 80.

Warning

Some receivers are preset with the Sub-out channel set at a minimum level. If your receiver Sub-out
channel is too low, the subwoofer may have weak output, sound noisy or distorted, and the Auto on/off
feature may not operate properly.

To avoid these issues, make sure that your receiver’s Sub-out channel is set to the same output level as
your front right and left channels. Refer to your receiver’s manual for details on adjusting the individual
channel levels.
