[. . . ] The Input switch is also used when the source connected to the ESC333's analog input is not the analog source that was listened to the last time the ESC333 was on (and hence the Automatic Turn-On feature is not available). The Input switch also turns on the ESC333 when pressed (see item 1 earlier in this section). Whenever a specific input is selected either manually or automatically, its indicator (14, 15, 16 or 17) on the ESC333's front panel will be illuminated. Surround Mode Pressing and releasing this button allows the selection of different listening modes. Surround (18), Phantom (19) and 3-Stereo (20) are available listening options for Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic. Stereo (21) bypasses the surround processing and outputs sound through the rightand left-front speakers only. In Surround mode, all five satellites and the subwoofer will play. For example, in Phantom mode, the center- channel delay cannot be adjusted since Phantom does not have a center channel. In Stereo, neither the center nor the surround delay can be adjusted since Stereo does not feature surround speakers or a center speaker. A third press of the Delay button will exit the ESC333 from its delayadjustment mode. Level The relative level of sounds coming from each of the ESC333's speakers can be adjusted while listening to program material on the ESC333. Repeated pressing and releasing of the Level button allows access to each channel. The display will indicate LVL (29), and the channel indicators (28) LF (Left Front), C (Center), RF (Right Front), LS (Left Surround), RS (Right Surround) and SUB (subwoofer) will illuminate to indicate the active speaker. The level for the selected channel can then be changed using the Adjustment +/­ buttons (11). Levels set in one mode will stay valid for all other modes and are not independent. Please note that the status-bar indicator (27) will not display unless Adjustment +/­ buttons are pressed. And, while the status-bar indicator (27) is on, channel indicators (28) and LVL (29) will not be displayed. Also, if adjustments are done in a mode where a certain channel is not available, the adjustment step for that channel is skipped. For example, in Phantom mode the centerchannel level cannot be adjusted since Phantom does not have a center channel. In stereo, neither the center nor the surround levels can be adjusted since Stereo does not feature surround speakers or a center speaker. A seventh press of the Level button will exit the ESC333 from its leveladjustment mode. Adjustment These buttons are used in conjunction with Test (8), Delay (9), and Level (10) to increase or decrease a setting. [. . . ] In fact, virtually all of the dialogue and a substantial number of the effects in a movie are reproduced through the center channel. -13- Troubleshooting If there is no sound from any of the speakers: · Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active AC wall outlet. · Make sure the Master Power Switch, located on the rear of the subwoofer, is in the On/Standby position. · Make sure there is a source ­ for example, a DVD Player, CD Player, VCR or television ­ hooked up to one of the four input jacks. · Make sure that the program material is playing.
