MASTER VOLUME
By default, the dial on the wired controller is the master volume
control for the speaker system. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the
volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume. If the
bass/center, treble/rear or test LED is lit, wait a few seconds for it to
turn off, then adjust the master volume.
NOTE: Three buttons on the wired controller have multiple functions.
The primary function is written in white text. The secondary function is
written in grey text.
1. Press and release a button to access its white-text feature. The LED
associated with that white-text feature will light solidly for a few
seconds while you use that feature and will then turn off.
2. As explained on the back of the wired controller, press and hold a
button for a few seconds to access its grey-text feature. The LED
associated with that grey-text feature will flash on and off for a few
seconds while you use that feature and will then turn off.
Bass
To adjust the bass level, press the bass/center button on the wired
controller. The bass/center LED will light solidly. Turn the dial on the
wired controller clockwise to increase the bass level and counter-
clockwise to decrease the bass level. After a few seconds of inactivity,
the bass LED will turn off.
Treble
To adjust the treble level, press the treble/rear button on the wired
controller. The treble/rear LED will light solidly. Turn the dial on the
wired controller clockwise to increase the treble level and counter-
clockwise to decrease the treble level. After a few seconds of inactivity,
the treble LED will turn off.
Center
To adjust the center speaker volume, press and hold the bass/center
button on the wired controller for a few seconds. Center volume is
represented by the bass LED. As a result, the bass/center LED will flash
on and off when you are adjusting the volume of the center speaker.
Turn the dial on the wired controller clockwise to increase the center
speaker volume and counterclockwise to decrease the center speaker
volume. After a few seconds of inactivity, the bass LED will turn off.
Rear
To adjust the rear speaker volume, press and hold the treble/rear
button on the wired controller for a few seconds. Rear volume is
represented by the treble LED. As a result, the treble/rear LED will flash
on and off when you are adjusting the volume of the rear speakers.
Turn the dial on the wired controller clockwise to increase the rear
speaker volume and counterclockwise to decrease the rear speaker
volume. After a few seconds of inactivity, the treble LED will turn off.
RESET BASS, TREBLE, CENTER AND REAR
To reset the bass, treble, center and rear controls to default levels,
press and hold both the bass and treble buttons down at the same
time for a few seconds.
NOTE: The XA3051 will remember your settings even if you turn if off
or unplug it from the wall.
MODE
In the stereo mode, only the subwoofer, left-front and right-front
speakers receive an audio signal.
In the surround mode, the Dolby Surround Pro Logic circuitry sends an
audio signal to all six speakers.
By default, the XA3051 starts up in the surround listening mode.
Pressing and releasing the mode/test button enables you to toggle
between the stereo and surround listening modes.
TEST
To verify that all speakers are correctly connected and to reset volumes,
press and hold the mode/test button on the wired controller for a few
seconds. The test LED will flash on and off for a few seconds while an
audio signal is sent to the front left speaker. This is repeated for the
center, front right and rear speakers (the two rear speakers receive the
signal simultaneously). While a speaker is being tested, you may turn
the dial on the wired controller to adjust its relative volume. Turn
clockwise to increase the speaker’s volume and counterclockwise to
decrease the speaker’s volume.
RESET MASTER VOLUME AND
ADJUST RELATIVE VOLUMES
To reset the master volume and each speaker’s relative volume to
default levels, press and hold the mode/test button on the wired
controller for a few seconds.
NOTE: The XA3051 will remember your settings even if you turn if off
or unplug it from the wall.
