Reset: The reset button returns the treble and bass levels to the factory default settings.
Preset Sound Settings:
There are three preset sound modes according to various contents.
• Music mode: Deeper bass with more dynamic sound ranges.
• Movie mode: Provides a surround sound effect.
• Night mode: Less bass and more clear vocals - ideal for news, radio, sports programming, etc.
LED Indicator:
The red LED will flash rapidly when volume, treble or bass is adjusted up or down. It will stop
flashing when it reaches maximum or minimum level.
When the unit is plugged in, it will be in Standby mode - the red LED is on. Once the power

light up.
The desired signal inputs can be selected with remote control by pressing the various source
button options (i.e., AUX1, AUX2, Digital optical or Bluetooth®.)

rapidly then the selected input LED will light up.
Bluetooth®Connection:
Turn on the unit then press Bluetooth®button from remote control to select Bluetooth®input.
When the blue LED light is flashing rapidly, the unit is scanning for a Bluetooth®enabled device
to pair. Turn on Bluetooth®in your enabled device and within the setup screen, search and select
“AMP37”. When prompted, enter passcode “0000” (four zeros). Once pairing is successful, the
blue LED light will become solid - the unit is ready to play.
