MODES:
lte ADA3 TOW has two basic modes of operation: Analog and
gital. When the ADASTOW is in Dolby Digital mode, the top LED
on the front of the right satellite glows green. When the LED on the
front of the right satellite glows amber, the ADA3lOW is in Analog
mode. There are three variations in the analog mode: Stereo, Dolby
Pro Logic, and 3D Gaming. c
You may switch between the modes using the CENTER button on the
top of the right satellite. Pressing and holding the button for about 4
seconds will switch the ADA3lOW to the next mode. The modes are
selected in the Following order: Stereo, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital,
3D Gaming, and then back to Stereo. You may also select the
operating mode by using the remote control or the computer software
GUI (if you are connecting the ADA3 l OW to a computer with USB).
