PRESETS
The SBA302-BT amplifier comes with 4 pre-defined sound presets, which are
switchable via the included IR remote. There are 2 different sets of pre-sets, with
a total of 4 presets, as can be seen on the remote. The presets that say “sub” in
the middle are intended to be used with a subwoofer, and have a high pass filter
enabled for smoother integration of the soundbar with a subwoofer. This means
that the “SUB” presets will have LESS bass. The “Sub” EQ presets can also be
useful for listening at night time to prevent bass from the soundbar disturbing
sleeping neighbors or household members. In order to integrate a subwoofer, you
must split the input signal prior to the soundbar amplifier and route the additional
signal to the subwoofer.
Note: If you purchased the SBA302-BT as part of a full soundbar speaker kit from Parts Express, your SBA302-BT will have
additional EQ applied to it to make the kit sound its best. If you have purchased the SBA302-BT separately, the table below
describes ALL of the EQ applied. The music preset provides a “flat” response
IR REMOTE LEARNING
The SBA302-BT amplifier can be taught to work with any IR Remote Control! For example, instead of using the included
IR Remote, you can program the amplifier to respond to commands from your TV remote or any other remote you might
have. This is especially useful if you are using an optical connection rather than an HDMI ARC connection.
Note: Only buttons present on the control panel will work with a new remote. Buttons such as presets and LED toggle
cannot be learned, and the original remote that comes with the amplifier must be used.
STEPS
1) Make sure that your SBA302-BT amplifier is turned on and out of standby mode (the LED should not be red), and your
desired remote has battery power and is functioning correctly.
2) Long press the
(input switching) button on your control panel for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the indicator LED
on the front panel will start blinking.
Note: If your input was previously set to Bluetooth, but you do not have a device paired to the amplifier, your LED would
have already been blinking. If unsure, set your device to a different input mode (like aux, green LED) and repeat this step.
3) Press any button on the soundbar’s control panel that you would like to learn. The indicator LED will turn off.
4) While pointing your IR remote at the soundbar, press your desired button on the remote. The indicator LED will then
blink 3 times, which indicates that learning was successful.
5) You can now test your new button.
6) Repeat steps 2 – 5 to learn new buttons.
