The volume an ear is subjected to changes a lot depending on how close you are, placement of other objects, and the size of the room. -

The remote control transmitter shines a strong beam of infrared light to communicate with the Model 30.

You can find infrared receivers on the back of the Model 30 between the light and the output jack, and on the front panel to the left of the display. -

The front receiver blinks the light on the front, while the rear receiver blinks the light on the rear of the cabinet. If the lights do not come on, the Model 30 is not detecting the remote. This could be because of something blocking the infrared beam, the remote is not pointed the right direction, or because the remote has low batteries. -
