LCD.
Bass: The bass control can be used to boost or cut the low frequency response of the speaker up to +/-6dB. It can
be used to add bass to a "thin" source or to remove boomy bass from the speakers.

P. Save (Power Save): The power save settings are "on" and "off ". In the "off " position, the LCD is illuminated
at all times. In the "on" position, the LCD is illuminated until the user stops using the controls. The LCD back-
light will turn off about 1 minute after the last on screen change. To turn the backlight back on, simply rotate the
"Push-to-Select" knob.
Bright: Various conditions (like bright sun) or even the position of the speaker can sometimes make the LCD
difficult to see or read. Two adjustments have been included to improve the visibility of the LCD. The first is a
brightness adjustment. It varies the brightness of the illuminated characters on the screen. Turning the adjust-
ment clockwise makes it brighter, while turning it counter-clockwise makes the characters dimmer.
Contr (Contrast): The second adjustment is the contrast. The contrast adjustment can be used to improve the
viewing angle of the LCD. This may need to be adjusted if the speaker is overhead (like on a pole) or on the floor.
You may have to try some experimenting with this control to improve the visibility of the LCD.
System Reset: Selecting the "System Reset" returns the DSP section to the factory settings. There is a confirma-
tion screen to prevent accidental changes.
System Info: Selecting the "System Info" displays the copyright information and firmware version of the operat-
ing system. Push the "push-to-select" knob again to return to the function screen.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Output at All
First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned ON. Make sure the LCD on the power amp module is
illuminated.
If not, make certain the ON/OFF switch (1) is in the ON position and check the IEC power cord connection (3)
by ensuring it is fully engaged and seated. Make certain the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.
Finally, check the fuse (2). (See the Rear Panel: FUSE section, for safety instructions.)
Once assured your unit is getting AC power, check that the PVXp™ 12 DSP is getting a signal. Temporarily
disconnect the cable running to its inputs and connect it to some other device capable of reproducing the signal
(i.e., a power amp and speaker). If this produces a signal, make sure that all Level controls being used have been
turned up to a satisfactory level (one-third to halfway).
