Figure 1 Elements of the media center display COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL General System Operation Treble and bass compensation The acoustics (sound qualities) of your room can affect the overall sound quality of any speaker system. In general, you can reduce many problems with acoustics by the cautious use of the treble and bass adjustments in the audio settings menu. Too much or too little treble Rooms with too few sound-absorbing furnishings, especially those with bare floors and walls, may sound overly shrill or “bright.” Lowering the Treble Compensation setting to a negative value from –1 to –15 decreases the treble sound. Rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpet, or heavy drapes, may reduce the treble sound of your system. Moving speakers farther away from soft furnishings increases treble. You can increase the treble sound by raising the Treble Compensation setting to a positive value from +1 to +14. Too much or too little bass Placement of the Acoustimass module affects the amount of bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room will increase the bass. Moving the module away from the corner will decrease the bass. You can decrease the bass sound by lowering the Bass Compensation setting to a negative value from –1 to –15. To increase the bass, raise the bass compensation setting to a positive value from +1 to +14.

Treble Compensation: –15 to +14 Rooms with too few sound-absorbing furnishings, especially those with bare floors and walls, may sound overly shrill or “bright.” Lowering the Treble Compensation setting to a negative value from –1 to –15 decreases the treble sound. Rooms with a lot of sound-absorbing furnishings, such as upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpet, or heavy drapes, may reduce the treble sound of your system. Moving speakers farther away from soft furnishings increases treble. You can increase the treble sound by raising the Treble Compensation setting to a positive value from +1 to +14. Bass Compensation: –15 to +14 Placement of the Acoustimass module affects the amount of bass you hear. Placing the module closer to the corner of the room will increase the bass. Moving the module away from the corner will decrease the bass. You can decrease the bass sound by lowering the Bass Compensation setting to a negative value from –1 to –15. To increase the bass, raise the bass compensation setting to a positive value from +1 to +14.

If commands given from your remote ever conflict with those of another nearby Lifestyle® system, you can easily set a new house code for your system and its remote control(s) by following these steps. 1. Open the remote control battery cover and locate the miniature switches (Figure 9). 2. Change the position of switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 by moving them in the opposite direction from their current settings. Use a paper clip, ball point pen, or similar object. 3. Replace the battery cover. 4. Lift the media center door and press the All Off button. 5. Press and hold the Store key. The media center display will begin to flash PROGRAM. 6. While holding the Store key, press any key on the remote control. The display stops flashing and momentarily shows PROGRAM to confirm recognition of a new house code. The display verifies the house code by showing four rectangles corresponding to the four switch positions (up or down). See the example in Figure 10. 7. Release the STORE key. The system remains off. 8. If you have additional remote controls, change the switches to match those of the first remote control. It is not necessary to repeat steps 4-8. Note: To verify your system’s house code, press Store while the system is off. The display confirms the settings of switches 1-4.
