The Pho ne Clip also work s with the Remote Con trol. The displ ay will indicate whe n the
Phone Cli p is in use. Once the ph one call has ended, the sound p rocessor will return to the
previou sly used program . That program is sh own on the display of t he Remote Control.
Volume adjus tments made du ring the phone ca ll will not be trans ferred to your prev iously
used prog ram. Phone cal ls will tempora rily interrupt st reaming from your o ptional streamin g
devices b ut streamed audi o will be restored once the phon e call has ended.

Appendix: exceptions to normal operation

If you have b een fitted with tw o sound process ors, it is recomme nded that both of the m be
set to the sa me program at all tim es. However, it is pos sible to have different programs on
the two s ound processo rs, such as Progra m 1 on the left side and streamed au dio on the right.
Under th ese circumstan ces, the remote con trol function s slightly different ly, as the following
examples illustrate.

Situation #1: You have star ted with P1 on both sides but have ch anged the right sid e to

P2 by pushing t he button on the right sound pro cessor. If you then pr ess the P button on t he
remote cont rol, the left sou nd processor wil l advance to P2, matchi ng the one on the righ t.
Furth er presses of the P bu tton will advan ce both sound proce ssors, thus kee ping the same
progra m on both sides.

Situation #2: You have set the lef t sound proces sor to P1 and the righ t sound processo r to

P2. If you the n press the Streami ng button, both so und processor s will receive strea med audio
from the s ame source (e.g., the T V). If you then p ress the P button on the remote cont rol,
streami ng will be cancelled on both sides and both soun d processors wil l return to their
previou s programs (P1 and P2).

Situation #3: The left s ound processo r is in program 1. Streaming is activ ated in the right

sound pr ocessor via its s treaming button . If you then press t he “P” button, th e right sound
proces sor will return to it s previous progra m, and the left sound process or will advance to th e
next p rogram (if availab le). Anoth er press on the “P ” button will align b oth sound proces sors
to the sam e program. If you in stead press the Streaming butto n, both sound proc essors will be
set to the sa me streamed audio device.

Situation #4: If your sound p rocessors are u sing different sou nd processor pro grams, only

the progr am numbers for ea ch sound processor will be sho wn. No program la bel/name will
be shown.

Situation #5: If one soun d processor is in st reaming mode and t he other one is in one of

the soun d processor prog rams, only the streaming disp lay will be shown wit h no indication of
the soun d processor’s pr ogram number an d label/name.

Important information
