How to use
The mode select switch
The mode selection switch is used to select between RS-232 control mode and the Auto on/off mode combined with
one of the three EQ presets (Video Conference, Music & Present).
Auto On/off mode
When the switch is set in one of the three Auto on/off modes the Sound Bar will activate the Wake-on-signal
function and work autonomously powering on and off as described in “Wake-on-signal” chapter on page 10.
Setting the switch in Auto on/off mode will ensure that Wake-on-signal is activated even if Wake- on-signal
previously have been disabled by a command in RS-232 mode.
In Auto on/off mode the RS-232 control port will still be active, but the Sound Bar will not react to incoming
commands or queries. Instead, the Sound Bar will reply to a RS-232 command or query telling the connected
control system that the Sound Bar is set to Auto on/off mode.
RS-232 mode
In RS-232 mode, the RS-232 port will be active. The RS-232 port is used to control the Sound Bar by
commands and status from Sound Bar can be requested by queries.
The Wake-on-signal function will by default be disabled in RS-232 mode. But by RS-232 command it is possible to
activate the function if both Wake-on-signal and RS-232 control is needed for the application.
To control the Sound Bar by RS-232 connect a control system to the RS-232 port with the following
settings:
•
Baudrate: 19.200
•
Databit: 8
•
Stopbit: 1
•
Parity: None
Please be aware that RS-232 control is deactivated if the Sound Bar is set to Auto on/off mode. The commands
for RS-232 control can be found on page 12.
When changing the mode switch from “Auto on/off” to “RS232” the Sound Bar will automatically apply
the following settings:
•
Power = ON
•
Mute = OFF
•
Volume = 70 (If max volume is set lower than 70, then that will not be exceeded)
•
Input = 1 (RCA Unbalanced)
•
Wake on signal = OFF
•
EQ setting = Video Conference.
