POWERING ON AND STANDBY

There are 2 switches that control power for the GMAX-6000. At the rear of the unit next to the AC power input, there is a switch that can be used to disconnect the unit from mains power completely (#17 on the REAR PANEL diagram). However, if you just want to suspend operations but don’t need to completely disconnect power, you can use the STANDBY button located on the top of the unit (#10 on the TOP PANEL diagram).

CONTROLLING THE SOUND

The GMAX-6000 can tune the overall sound to suit your needs. Maybe you need a little more bass in the track, or more treble to bring out a singer’s voice. The easiest way to contour the sound is to use the BASS and TREBLE knobs located on the top of the unit. Turning the BASS knob controls the low frequencies in the track, while the TREBLE knob controls the high frequencies. BASS and TREBLE controls are also available on the unit’s remote control. The remote also has an EQ button, which acts independently from the BASS and TREBLE knobs. Pressing the EQ button cycles through 5 presets EQ curves (POP/ ROCK/JAZZ/NORMAL/CLASSICAL). Please note that you can also use the EQ knobs to further tailor the sound. USING BLUETOOTH The GMAX-6000 is capable of connecting wirelessly to your external music source (for example, your phone or tablet). To enable this feature, you must rst pair your external device to the GMAX-6000. PAIRING Turn the GMAX-6000 on and press the MODE button until the display shows the word “BLUE”.
