The settings for high and mid range
tones only affect the front channels of
the Cinebar Trios (CS 42)
(left, middle,
right); bass controls the subwoofer
level.
Sound Level
You can increase or decrease the relative volume from “+10 dB” to “–10
dB” for each speaker here.
You can also replace normal audio
playback with a test tone (a noise)
whose volume can be adjusted using

Problem Possible cause Solution
Poor wireless
connection
The Cinebar Trios (CS 42) is
built connected to a metal
surface which can influence
wireless transmission.
Use the enclosed stand ④ in
order to gain some distance
from the metal surface.
The
subwoofer
hums.
The Cinebar Trios (CS 42)
is connected to a different
power circuit from the rest of
the system.
Connect the
Cinebar Trios (CS 42) to the
same power circuit.
The hum is due to line disturbance.
Buy a line filter and connect all
devices to it.
The humming is caused by a
multiple socket strip.
