DS-A101-G App DS-A101-G APP The DS-A1010-G App is a two-way setup app that connects to the amp via Bluetooth Low Energy. App setup features include: source select, master volume, offset (individual source) volume, source naming, bass/treble, sub volume, balance, Auto Blend, IR Remote learning and screen brightness. The app will open to the Master Volume screen when launched. MASTER VOLUME The Master Volume slider sets the amplifier output volume.

(Figure 6) Tap the gear. The Settings Menu will appear. INPUT NAMES Each of the inputs can be renamed to indicate the actual connected source...i.e. Optical 1 can be changed to TV or Blu-ray. USB can be changed to Computer or Server. The maximum number of characters is 9.
DS-A101-G App BASS/TREBLE The Bass/Treble section adjusts the tone controls for the DS-A101-G master output. Each control can be adjusted +/-12dB. 1. In the Settings Menu tap Bass/Treble. 2.

DS-A101-G App REMOTE LEARNING The Remote Learning section allows the DSA101-G to learn IR commands from other remote controls. This can simplify user control by teaching the amp commands from another remote such as a TV remote so that remote can be used to control the TV, DSA101-G and other devices if capable. When learning commands, be sure to use commands that will make sense when controlling the amp. Use volume up/down commands for volume. Use source select commands for source select functions.

When finished tap the slider icon at the top right to return to the source/volume screen. ABOUT The About screen indicates important information about the device to which the app is synchronized (DS-A101-G). This can be useful for service purposes to determine whether the device has most current firmware to provide best performance and latest features.
DS-A101-G App WIFI SETUP Use this setup page to configure the DS-A101-G with your wifi network. The page shown in Figure 15 displays the current status. It can display one of the following connection status: • not connected • connected to wifi • connected to ethernet You can use speaker connection status to determine if wifi setup was successful.
