Simply press the SOURCE SELECT button on the remote, or a short press of the STANDBY Button
on the Unit. The ASS will reactivate once the Unit has been put into STANDBY.
8.7. Low Source Volume (LSV)
During our extensive testing we found that on a number of manufacturer’s products the digital
signal output level is lower than the expected Full Scale (FS). To allow our users to get the best
audio experience from the Q Acoustics Unit we have included a LSV switch.
The LSV switch can be found on the Rear Panel, and has two settings.
1 = Normal gain
2 = Increased 6dB of gain for Optical and HDMI sources
You should first listen to your setup with LSV = 1
If you find your signal level to be quite low from your TV/DVD player, please select LSV = 2.
Note:
You will not require the LSV if you are using a Streamer/CD player Optical output. Hi-Fi audio
equipment will output FS digital audio. Audio will be highly distorted if you have LSV = 2 in this
scenario.
8.8. Source volume control
Audio sources will initially be set at a DEFAULT volume level. The volume can be adjusted separately
for each source using the VOL + and VOL – buttons on the Top Panel or IR remote. Once adjusted,
the unit will remember the volume level, and will return to that level the next time that source is
selected.
8.9. Bluetooth
Pairing a Bluetooth device
The Unit is designed to be Discoverable when in STANDBY, to
allow AUTO ON. It is also designed to automatically go into
Pairing mode if there is no Bluetooth device connected. To Pair
your Bluetooth source:
1. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on the device to be Paired.
The Bluetooth controls are typically found in the device’s
‘Settings’ or ‘Connections’ menu.
2. On your device’s list of discoverable devices, you should now
see ‘Q M3’.
3. Select ‘Q M3’ and your device will now be Paired via Bluetooth
and Connected.
4. From within the music player on your device, select ‘Q M3’ as
the audio output and press Play. Unless the remote has been
used to manually select another source and override the ASS, or
a higher priority source is active, the Unit will switch to Bluetooth input and the LED will turn Blue.
Pairing a Bluetooth device with NFC
1. Make sure Bluetooth and NFC are enabled in the device settings.
2. Place NFC device on the top surface of the Unit, in the location indicated.
Note:
You may need to rotate your device for NFC to connect, as NFC coils are in different locations
within different devices.
Please see your device instruction manual for correct NFC operation.
