A Tour of the
MediaDesk 5.1 Remote
1.
Remote Control RJ-11 Connector - This standard six conductor
RJ-11 jack is used to connect the 5.1 Remote to the MediaDesk
5.1 Upgrade Amplifier, using the provided 6 conductor cable. The
remote control cable length should not exceed 100 Feet. Refer to
page 8 for more information [MediaDesk 5.1 Remote].
2.
Individual Output Channel Trims - Each of the following
recessed channel trim pots has a range of plus or minus 6dB,
in 1dB increments. Please note that these are output level trims
and not input level trims. For calibration instructions see page 10
[Expanded 5.1 Calibration Guide].
3.
5.1 Master Gain Control - This knob controls the overall system
level. When the remote is connected, the 5.1 Master Gain control
on the back of the subwoofer is defeated.
4.
Power Indicator LED - If this LED is lit, the system is powered and
the remote is properly connected to the MediaDesk 5.1 Monitoring
System.

System Logic Outline
Unlike the a MediaDesk 2.1 System, a complete MediaDesk 5.1 System uses a
simple microprocessor to adjust the individual levels and overall 5.1 system
gain (digitally controlled analog). Because how the system is configured
effects how the system operates, it is important to understand what happens
under specific operating conditions. Below is a simple outline detailing how
the system operates.
1.
5.1 MediaDesk System, on power-up, no remote connected:
The master 5.1 volume control on the back of the subwoofer
controls volume (see page 8, item 8 for more information). The
individual channel level adjustment are set to their default setting,
which is +/- 0dB.
2.
5.1 MediaDesk System, on power-up, remote connected:
The remote volume control takes over. The trim pots' position
determines the relative volume level for each channel (+/-6dB in
1dB increments). The 5.1 Master Gain control on the back of the
subwoofer is defeated.
3.
5.1 MediaDesk System, remote unplugged during
operation:
Reverts to the state describe above in item #1.
4.
5.1 MediaDesk System, connect remote during operation:
Reverts to the state described above in item #2.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After the 5.1 Upgrade has been installed, the user
must switch the 2.1 / 5.1 Mode switch to "5.1". If this switch is left in the
"2.1" mode, the upgrade will not work. This switch can be found on the
main 2.1 MediaDesk amplifier.
