CHT-R User’s Manual

LIGHT - 

If you wish, you can deactivate the power light on your CHT-R unit. To do this, press

the LIGHT button on your remote. The light will turn off. To reactivate the light, press the LIGHT
button again. 

NIGHT -

Night mode limits the maximum output of the subwoofer for later 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, is indicated by the reduced intensity of the light. 

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 from
between both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, the speed
at which the power light blinks indicates subwoofer volume - the faster the blinking, the louder
the unit plays. Slower blinks represent tens and faster blinks represent ones. After the volume
is changed (up or down) there will also be 2 sets of center LED blinks. If the LED blinks 3 times,
pauses, then blinks 6 times, this means that the volume is set at 36. The volume range is from
1 to 99.

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. 

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 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 work properly.

PRESETS -

There are four presets, consisting of Movies, R&B – Rock, Jazz – Classical, and

Games. As a preset is chosen, the light flashes the corresponding number of times. 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. 

Games: 

Maximum loudness available for the impact of video games.
