Remote and Front-Panel Controls and Indicators
Front Panel
Remote Control
1. Power
This button, located only on the
remote control, allows the user
to manually turn on or off the
escXcite. Please note that the
escXcite features Automatic
Turn-On/Off, and the power
switch is not normally used
unless it is necessary to override
this automatic feature, or in
case the analog input to be used
is not the last one that was used
and so Automatic Turn-On is not
available for that input. Please
read the details regarding Auto-
matic Turn-On/Off on page 3 of
this manual, and keep in mind
that the escXcite automatic
turn-on feature will be disabled
for five minutes if the escXcite is
shut down manually.
The escXcite can also be powered
on by using the Input button (4)
on the front panel of the sub-
woofer or on the remote control.
Please note that if input selec-
tion is done by pressing the
Input button, the Automatic
Digital Input Selection of the
escXcite will be disabled until
the escXcite shuts down.
When the escXcite is plugged
into a working electrical outlet
and its master switch on the
back panel is set to On/Standby,
the Standby (32) indicator will
illuminate. The ON (31) indicator
will light as soon as the escXcite
is turned on either automatically
or via the pressing of the Power
or Input buttons.
2. Mute
From either the front panel or
the remote control, press (Mute)
to lower the volume completely.
The mute symbol indicator (33)
will illuminate. When you press
either of the mute buttons
again, the volume will return to
its previous setting.
Note:
The mute function can
also be turned off by pressing
either of the volume buttons on
the front panel or the remote
control.
3. Late Night
This feature is available for
Dolby Digital only. It compresses
the inherently dynamic digital
sound so that the quiet and loud
passages are not quite as differ-
ent in sound levels as they ordi-
narily are. This feature allows
the user to watch movies and
listen to dialogue at toned-down
levels so as not to disturb others
by the loud sound effects that
may be present. The Late Night
indicator (26) illuminates when
this feature is active.
