CONTROL TOWER FEAT U R E S

MAIN POWER SWITCH / HEADPHONE MODE

The power switch is located on the lower left side of the Control Tower. Depress and

hold for a few seconds to power on and off the system. This switch also acts to

engage the headphones. Momentarily pressing the switch engages the headphones

and removes power from the main speakers to save energy. While engaging the

headphones, "HP" is indicated in the digital readout. In headphone mode, only the

preamplifier and headphone amplifier are powered, giving the lowest possible noise

floor. To return to speaker mode, momentarily press the power switch.

MAIN VOLUME CONTROL

The large main volume knob adjusts overall system volume. The digital volume

display reads from "0 to 80" which corresponds to actual decibel increments. If this

knob is turned slowly, the volume steps will be in 1dB increments. If the knob is

turned quickly, the volume increase will be accordingly accelerated.

ADJUSTING CENTER, REAR AND SUBWOOFER LEVELS

Each of the center, rear and sub adjustment knobs will automatically change the

main readout to display the current level. The corresponding level will show once the

knob is turned in either direction, and will do so for approximately three seconds on

the digital display. The adjustment knob range is from -9dB to +15dB, with default

settings of "0".

Note: Possible gain range settings for each channel are -9dB to +15dB and will be

retained as the main volume approaches 80dB. However, new settings made at high

volumes will only be allowed as the total reaches 80dB. In other words, if the main

volume reads 75dB, the boost will be limited to +5dB, and if main volume is set to

80dB (maximum), no boost is available.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT

The

/8" stereo headphone output jack, located on the right-hand side of the control

tower, is designed for personal listening with all quality headphones. The main

volume control adjusts the headphone output while the speakers are muted. The HP

volume level remains independently adjustable from the speaker volume settings.

PORTABLE MUSIC PLAYER INPUT

This convenient stereo input will accommodate a wide variety of audio sources

without interrupting the computer setup. This also allows blending the auxiliary input

signal with the (Main) soundcard signal source. MP3 portable audio players, gaming

consoles, or any other source with a stereo mini-plug output are easily integrated into

the ProMedia 5.1 playback system. This side input jack engages +10dB input

sensitivity to help compensate for the lower output voltage of most portable players.

To obtain the proper balance with the main signal, the level adjustments in the

computer software and in the portable player will need to be adjusted. An example

would be listening to an MP3 music player while surfing the net and blending in

associated sounds from the Internet or game software. The benefits of this mixed

sound may not always be desired, and the system owner will ultimately determine

the use of this flexibility feature.

NOTE: The main volume and subwoofer level controls will affect this input source,

while center and rear levels will not. The stereo source will only come through the

front channels, since this is a two-channel signal source.

NOTE: During playback of MP3 files, overall sound quality may be perceptibly

degraded (noise/distortion) compared to other audio sources such as CD. This is

caused by the encoding method and quality of the MP3 file or the portable player

itself. It is recommended that MP3 files be encoded at a minimum 128-bit rate.
