The top and bottom status lines are static— meaning that they will always be present. The primary display area is dynamic and will change depending upon the operation that you are performing. - Page 22 Primary Display Area Overview Details The image above shows the primary display area for the XWave remote with default settings using the day theme. Above the menu items you will see “Categories” which is the title of this particular screen. When you enter other menu sections, the title will change accordingly.

Volume Step The XWave remote has a range of volumes from 0 – 40. Increasing the volume in the field by increments of 1 may be too slow for some and therefore this stepping value is configurable. You can choose from 1, 2, 3, and 5. -
Page 36: Primary & Secondary (Foxfusion) Mode
The modes are: Stereo, Mono, and Sep Mon (Separate Mono). By default, the device will be setup for stereo speaker mode.
