1.4 Mounting the BlueCube Media Player
1. A mounting template is included. Aquatic AV recommends using
the 'measure twice, cut once' method.
2. Once the mounting hole is complete, make sure the outside
surface is clean and clear of debris. The Digital Media Locker
has an external water/dust proof gasket, but this requires a
clean and flat surface for best performance.
3. The Digital Media Locker has six (6) front screws. Drive the
screws using a screw driver. During final mounting, apply equal
pressure to all points for the best water/dust outer seal
performance. make sure screws are snug and do not over
tighten.
4. Review all outside surfaces of the Digital Media Locker to
ensure proper water/dust seal. This is important for long term
environmental protection performance for your digital media
device.

1.5 Power On
Press the on/off button inside the locker.
Red Light: Power to the locker is ON, but the unit is in standby mode.
Blue Light: The unit is powered ON and looking for an audio source.
For applications that require low current draw and where battery drain may occur, the power button must be
turned OFF inside the unit. When the power button is in OFF position, the red LED will not lit.
For application where 12V battery is not used, such as in a Spa, the power button can be left ON and the
remote control or door controls can then be used to power on/off accordingly.
For detailed instructions, you can check out our online video:
"How to wire your Aquatic AV stereo system"
http://www.aquaticav.com/support/videos
1.6 Handheld Remote Control Charging (AQ-DM-6UBT-T sold separately)
The remote has a built-in Polymer Lithium rechargeable battery. It comes with a custom made charging
cable. Connect one end to the blades of the remote control and another the other end to any USB female
device (5V dc) for charging.
Make sure the remote has been charged before used.
1.7 Handheld Remote Control Synchronizing (AQ-DM-6UBT-T sold separately)
The remote has a receiver dongle (AQ-DM-6UBT-R) with a builtin male DIN connector. Connect the dongle
to the female DIN connector of locker (AQ-DM-6UBT).
The remote should already be paired from the factory, but if you need to synchronize the remote, follow
below steps.
1. Make sure Digital Media Locker (AQ-BC-6UBT) is powered ON (LED in red or blue)
2. Put the remote close to the dongle (AQ-DM-6UBT-R) (within 0.5 meter)
2. Press and hold mode until the LCD shows "Pairing in Progress". Release the button.
3. WIthin 2 seconds, the LCD will show "Paired". If it fails to pair, the LCD will show "Retry again". If this
happens, wait 5 seconds and repeat the above procedures.
For any additional remote controls, you will also need to synchroize those remote controls to the BlueCube
Media Locker (AQ-BC-6UBT).
If the pairing process is not successful, try again to put your remote close to the dongle.
Depending on the frequency of usage, the remote might drain its battery. Please charge the remote before
use. If the LCD shows nothing, it means that the battery has been drained.
If you have lost your remote control and buy a new remote control, please follow the above steps to pair the
remote control

Additional Features
www.aquaticav.com 11
5.1 External 12V Trigger
Aquatic AV understands the need for more flexible remote applications. With the BlueCube+ Media
Player, Auquatic AV has provided an independent 12V 'accessory' trigger, activated from the RF
wireless remote. This could activate any 12V based device like 12V lights or 12V motors.
In any operational mode, press the (12V TRIGGER) button to activate. Press again to deactivate.
Depending on the versions, if there are two external trigger wires, you can also activate the second
external trigger by press and hold for the second external trigger.
5.2 Connecting Multiple Amplifiers or High Current Draw Lighting Systems
Aquatic AV strongly recommend you speak to our technical service staff or your local Aquatic AV dealer if you are
considering this feature.
Load on External Trigger(s) should not exceed 2A.
Wiring a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) Relay
The SPST is necessary to protect the stereo in
systems with multiple amplifiers. The AQ-BC-6UBT
remote and trigger wire provide 2A max current. While
this is enough to power a single amplifier, complex
systems with multiple amplifiers will require a SPST
relay.
Position 30: requires 12VDC from the main power
source (12V battery, power supply etc). This should be
the same power source that is powering your stereo.
Position 85: this is where you connect your ground
from your power source (12V battery, power supply,
etc.) This should be the same ground reference as
your stereo.
Position 86: position 86 is triggered 12V, and is sent
when your stereo is powered on.

12V DC from
stereo (Blue or
Brown wire)
For Aquatic AV stereos, position 86 can be connected to either the blue remote wire in the harness or
the brown 12V trigger on the rear of the unit. There differences are below:
Blue (recommended): The blue (remote wire) provides a 12V DC output when the stereo is
powered on. Meaning as soon as the stereo is powered on, the blue wire sends 12V DC through th
relay powering on the amplifier.
Brown: The brown (12V Trigger) provides 12V DC output when it is triggered via the lightning bolt
icon on the faceplate or handheld remote. This setup is more advantageous in a more complex
system with several zones, as it gives you control of when an amplifier is on or off.
Position 87: this is 12V DC output that you will provide 12V DC to the remote turn on to the amplifiers
in your system.
