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
ESC333. Please note that the
ESC333 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
Automatic Turn-On/Off on page
3 of this manual, and keep in
mind that if the ESC333 is shut
down using this power button,
its automatic turn on feature will
remain disabled for five minutes
after the source connecred to
the ESC333 is shut down also.
This is to prevent the ESC333
from repeatedly turning itself
back on despite the user’s
wishes. The ESC333 can also be
powered on by using the Input
button (4) on the front panel of
the subwoofer or on the remote
control. Please note that if input
selection is done by pressing the
Input button, the Automatic
Digital Input Selection of the
ESC333 will be disabled until the
ESC333 shuts down.
When the ESC333 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 ESC333
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
different in sound levels as they
ordinarily 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.
