conserve energy,
your

into standby mode. The mute

the control pod.
Adjusting
the
sound
The acoustics
of
your listening room affect the sound quality
of
any speaker system.
Upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpets, or heavy drapes can muffle the treble (high
frequencies). Bare floors and walls and unupholstered furniture reflect the treble and may
cause it to sound too shrill.
Bass
After listening to your speaker system, you may wish to adjust the sound. Use the bass
compensation control on the Acoustimass module. Turn the control clockwise to increase, or
counterclockwise to decrease bass.
You
may also adjust the placement
of
the module to
affect bass; simply aim the port
of
the module away from the wall to decrease bass, or
toward the wall to increase bass.
Volume
Use the volume control on the control pod. Rotate the outer ring clockwise to increase, or
counterclockwise to decrease the volume (Figure
6).
To
mute the system, gently tap the silver touch-sensitive panel on the remote.
Tap
again to
unmute. The indicator light turns yellow when the system is muted, and green when it
is
active.

Note:
Using the volume controls in their maximum position
may
reduce the speaker system's
maximum volume,
by
causing the internal protection circuity
to
engage.
If you wish to control volume at the sound source instead
of
from the control pod, set the
volume control on the remote near maximum volume; then make all other adjustments using
the volume control on your sound source. For instance, you may be able to control the vol-
ume on your computer from its control panel.
