Volume
The VOLUME buttons on the SoundBase remote control operate in
the normal manner.
Power (STANDBY)
The Power button on the SoundBase remote control toggles the
SoundBase between STANDBY and On.
Note: A SoundBase will
automatically enter STANDBY if the selected input is silent for longer
than approximately 30 minutes.
A SoundBase in STANDBY will automatically turn back on if it senses
a volume adjustment or power command from the “learned” remote
control or the SoundBase remote control.
Mute
The MUTE button on the SoundBase remote control operates in
the normal manner. When MUTE is active, the display will show a
blinking -00- for 20 seconds.
Bass and Treble
The Bass control has a range of -4 to 4.
The Treble control has a range of -4 to 4.
Note: The bass output of a SoundBase system is affected by its
position within a room. You may find it sounds best with slightly more or
less bass than the neutral setting.
Surround Settings
There are three SURROUND levels:
• Surround One (“Sd 1”) has low virtual surround effect and strong
vocals. Use this setting if vocal clarity is important to you.
• Surround Two (“Sd 2”) has moderate virtual surround effect
and moderate vocals. Most people prefer this setting for most
program material.
• Surround Three (“Sd 3”) has strong virtual surround effect
and moderate vocals. Many people prefer this setting when
watching movies.
Remote Control Capabilities
Output Leveling
Press this button to prevent large changes in volume. When engaged,
it boosts quiet dialog and lowers the output of loud commercial breaks.
It also reduces volume swings between cable or satellite channels. This
feature can be used along with any of the three Surround settings.
Accuvoice
Press this button to increase the clarity of most voices.
Pressing Accuvoice overrides the current Surround setting. A second
press returns the SoundBase to the last-used Surround setting.

of the SoundBase
Learning:
You can “teach” the SoundBase to respond to your
current TV remote control for the following functions:
Volume, Mute (on/off) and Power (on/off). See the separate
sheet for instructions. After this “learning” process, you
will not need the SoundBase remote control for adjusting
Volume, Mute and Power. Teaching the SoundBase to
respond to your preferred remote does not affect the
included SoundBase remote. The SoundBase remote will
still provide its full range of adjustments.
Input Selection:
Pressing the INPUT button allows you to select a different
input. Inputs are selected in the following order:
Input 1—digital (optical jack)
Input 2—digital (optical jack)
Input 3—digital (coaxial jack)
Input 4—analog (RCA jacks)
Input 5—analog (RCA jacks)
Input 6—analog (front minijack)

AUDIO CONNECTING JACK. Connect a smartphone or other audio device to this jack
using a cable with a stereo miniplug at each end. Select Input 6 on the SoundBase (In6A
appears on the display).

SUB OUTPUT AND STEREO SIGNAL OUTPUT. If your powered subwoofer has both Left
and Right inputs, the SUB OUTPUT of the SoundBase should be connected to both inputs
via a “Y” adapter. The STEREO SIGNAL OUTPUT supplies an audio signal for use with
another another audio system or wireless headphones. The signal level from both outputs
varies along with the volume setting on the SoundBase.
5. Digital Audio Troubleshooting
TV sets with no audio output:
You should check the program sources connected to the TV for an audio output (cable box, disc
player, game box). Many cable boxes and DVD/Blu-ray players have both analog and digital audio
outputs. If you connect directly to a set top box and a DVD/Bluray player, you need to switch
inputs on the TV and the SoundBase.
Bluray disc audio:
If you don’t get sound from a Bluray disc, the digital audio on that disc may be encoded using
a proprietary format. In this case, use the Bluray disc menu or the Bluray player menu to select
Dolby Digital or PCM digital output.
Internet streaming HD video audio:
If your TV features a internet connection and displays HD streaming content, it may be
necessary to select Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio in the TV or from the streaming provider’s
sound options.
