REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION USING THE REMOTE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION The remote control requires one CR2032 battery. The battery should be replaced as needed. When battery power is low, the remote control enters a low-voltage con- dition, preventing it from operating the JBL BassQ unit.
CONNECTING YOUR JBL PERFORMANCE SERIES SYSTEM GENERAL INFORMATION A JBL Performance Series system installation incorporates one preamp/ processor (AV1 or AV2), one power amplifier (AVA7) – in addition to the amplifier(s) used to power one or more subwoofers – and one JBL BassQ processor.
INSTALLING THE JBL BASSQ PROCESSOR PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Installation of the JBL BassQ unit is a straightforward process. IMPORTANT: The JBL BassQ unit must be installed following the directions below. Always put amplifiers on the bottom of a stack. Heavy equipment should not be supported solely by the front- mounting locations.
CALIBRATION AND ROOM MODE CORRECTION Once you have connected the sub- woofer input into the JBL BassQ unit and connected the outputs from the unit to all subwoofers in the system, you will need to run the BassQ test to finalize the room calibration and correction.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: The JBL BassQ unit does not turn on. Neither the red nor blue indicator lights are on. Make sure the JBL BassQ processor is plugged in, and verify that there is the proper voltage at the wall outlet. Make sure the Main Power Switch on the rear panel is in the On position.
