Using the Opalum sound system
The Opalum sound system can be operated in different manners or modes:
Automatic (default):
In a normal setup there is no use for a remote control, as the unit wakes up automatically
whenever any connected source starts playing and goes into standby when no source is playing.
In this configuration the selected source is MIXER, which in fact mixes all inputs together. The LED
will be white. The volume control is done by the source, like for instance your phone.
Manual:
If manual source select or volume control is required; the system can learn IR commands, so that
for instance your TV remote control can be used to select source or adjust volume up and down. In
fact any IR remote can be learned, and thereby give you full control of the system.
Integration with custom installation systems:
For those using custom installation, the system accept commands from both RS232 and electrical
IR. Please see the in depth descriptions in section 8.
7.1 Automatic standby
In all modes, the Opalum sound system will go to standby automatically. This happens if the
selected source has been silent for more than 20 minutes. In standby the Opalum sound system
consumes less than 0,5 watt.
7.2 Volume offset adjustment
In automatic mode you might want to adjust the volume offset. For instance if you find the lowest
volume your source can play is still too loud you might want to adjust the offset down. This is
done by pressing the rocker switch on the back of the Control Hub. The adjustment is stored
automatically and affects all sources.
7.3 Bluetooth
To connect your mobile device or PC to the Opalum sound system using Bluetooth you first need
to pair the devices. Please see the user guide of your device for how to pair. The Opalum sound
system is identified by the name “Opalum xxxxxx”, where xxxxxx is a unique number. During the
pairing process you will be requested to enter a PASS code. This PASS code is 1397. Pairing should
be completed and you should now be able to stream from your device to the Opalum sound
system. Volume is also controlled by your device, 7.2 still applies though.
7.4 IR learning
The Control Hub can learn to understand IR commands from most remote controls. You decide
which buttons to use for which function and simply use the IR learning function to teach the
Control Hub. These are the functions that you can assign buttons to:
1.
Volume up
2.
Volume down
