10 - CHT-R Series 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.
