Using STORM
5.1 On/off
STORM has automatic on/off. This means that whenever a source starts playing the system will
switch on. Likewise the system will go to standby automatically if the used source is not playing
for more than 5 minutes. Manual on/off is still possible, just press the Standby button on the front.
In you switch off STORM manually the automatic on feature is disabled, and current Bluetooth
connection is disconnected. In standby the system consumes less than 0.5 watt.
Tip:
For ease of use don’t use manual ON/OFF. Instead leave it to STORM to automatically switc ON and
OFF depending on your use.
5.2 Volume offset adjustment
Even if the volume is normally controlled by your source, like for instance your TV or mobile
phone, STORM offers a volume offset adjustment feature. This feature allows you to adjust the
overall amplification level in the same way as an ordinary AV receiver would do. Increasing the
volume offset will make your system play louder, but could also mean that the lowest volume
setting on your source still could be too loud for a quiet living room late at night. Decreasing the
volume offset will make your system play lower, but could also mean that the highest volume
setting on your source isn’t enough to get your party rocking. So, either adjust depending on the
need of the moment, or find an adjustment that suites your need the best. The adjustment is
stored automatically and since it’s the amplification that is adjusted, it will affect all sources.
Tip:
W en using t e analog input set STORM to max. volume and t en adjust 3 steps down. T is will give
you t e best overall result.
5.3 Bluetooth
To connect your mobile device or PC to STORM using Bluetooth you first need to pair the devices.
STORM will only pair if it is put into pairing mode. Do this by pressing the Standby button approx.
seconds while the system is ON. When the status indicator starts flashing blue, the system is in
pairing mode. The pairing mode will terminate automatically when a device pairing is completed,
or after a timeout of 5 minutes. Please see the user guide of your device for how to pair. STORM is
identified by the name “Opalum STORM xx:xx”, where xx:xx is a unique number. After pairing is
completed STORM remembers the device, and vice versa – so next time you just simply connect,
no pairing needed.
5.4 Source select
STORM doesn’t require any source select. Instead sources are priorities and will start playing
accordingly. The priorities are as follows:
1. Bluetooth
2. Analog
