OTHER FEATURES

ABOUT QUALCOMM aptX™ HD A Bluetooth connection is a bit like a data pipeline between devices. Because the pipeline has a maximum width, it can sometimes be difficult to flow large audio files through it. aptX® reduces the size of the audio files so they can be squeezed through the wireless pipeline without affecting the sound quality.
Qualcomm® aptX™ HD audio ensures that D 3045 can deliver High Definition (HD) audio. It preserves sound data through the audio transmission, resulting in a “better-than-CD” listening experience. With aptX HD, listening to music at the highest audible quality is possible with the D 3045.

BLUETOOTH MODES

There are two Bluetooth modes – RECEIVE and TRANSMIT mode.
Receive: Audio stream is received from a Source in the same Bluetooth network environment.
Transmit: Audio is streamed or sent to another device in the same Bluetooth network environment.

HOW TO SELECT RECEIVE OR TRANSMIT BLUETOOTH MODE
While at BT source, press and hold [ ] until display shows RECEIVE. Press and hold [ ] again until the display changes to TRANSMIT.

BLUETOOTH AT RECEIVE MODE

Initiate pairing of your Bluetooth device with D 3045 by following the below procedure.

Using your iOS, Android, or compatible device, go to Settings Bluetooth and then scan for Bluetooth devices.
Select the unique device ID of your D 3045 among the available devices listed in your Bluetooth settings. Pair or connect together with your D 3045 and the Bluetooth device.
Upon successful pairing of your Bluetooth device and D 3045, the display will change to “PAIRED” and then “PLAYING” when music is played from the paired Bluetooth device.

BLUETOOTH AT TRANSMIT MODE

D 3045 is open to connect or pair with other Source devices within the same Bluetooth network environment.

At TRANSMIT mode, use AMP 3 [ / ] buttons to scroll through the selectable Bluetooth devices. It may take a while for selectable Bluetooth devices to manifest.
Press [ ] to pair with the selected Bluetooth device. Upon successful pairing, “Paired” is shown in the display as well as the Bluetooth device name. Press [ ] again to unpair the selected Bluetooth device (“Unpaired is shown in the display).

NOTE
When the D3045 is powered up from standby mode, a Bluetooth device paired at Bluetooth Transmit mode will not be paired automatically.

BLUETOOTH AVAILABILITY

Bluetooth can be turned ON or OFF by the following method.

BT ON (discoverable): Press and hold the [BASS] button until BT ON is shown in the display.
BT OFF (invisible): Press and hold the [BASS] button until BT OFF is shown in the display.

MASTER QUALITY AUTHENTICATED

Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology built into D 3045 that captures and delivers master-quality audio. D 3045 includes a powerful decoder and audio renderer for the MQA system. This ensures that MQA-encoded audio files sound exactly like the source. D 3045 accepts and playback MQA content from Computer, Optical 1, Optical 2, and Coaxial sources.

MQA INDICATORS
“MQA” or “MQA.” is shown in the display indicating that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA file.
MQA: Indicates decoding and playback of an MQA file and denotes provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material.

MQA.: Indicates playback of MQA Studio file that has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.

AUTO STANDBY

The D 3045 can be set up to automatically go to standby mode if there is no user interface interaction and no active Source input within 30 minutes. Auto standby mode can be enabled or disabled by the following steps.

ENABLE AUTO STANDBY MODE

While at standby mode, press and hold the “OFF” button of the AMP 3 remote control until the ****(Standby) indicator blinks once.
At operating mode and with auto standby enabled, the D 3045 will automatically go to standby mode if there is no user interface interaction and no active Source input within 30 minutes.

DISABLE AUTO STANDBY MODE

While at standby mode, press and hold the “OFF” button of the AMP 3 remote control until the ****(Standby) indicator blinks twice.
At operating mode and with auto standby disabled, D 3045 will not go to standby mode at any time unless directly initiated by pressing the top panel’s ****(Standby) switch or OFF button of the AMP 3 remote control.

AUTO SENSE

Auto Sense feature enables the D 3045 to wake up from standby mode when triggered by an active Source input.

CONDITIONS FOR AUTO SENSE

For Auto Sense to work, Auto Standby must be set to ON with D 3045 going first to standby mode.
If IR Learning with TV remote control is successfully completed and with D 3045 going to standby mode, auto-sense is activated upon detection of active Source input only from OPTICAL 1 or OPTICAL 2 inputs.
With this condition, D 3045 wakes up and automatically switches to OPTICAL 1 or OPTICAL 2.
If no IR Learning is conducted, auto-sense is activated upon detection of an active Source input. Except for analog input, the unit will power up to the Source that activated the unit to operating mode.
When the unit is triggered by an active analog input, the unit will always power up to said analog input.

ENABLE AUTO-SENSE MODE

While in standby mode, press and hold the “SOURCE ” button of the AMP 3 remote control until the icon on the top screen wakes up and blinks once.

DISABLE AUTO-SENSE MODE

While at standby mode, press and hold the “SOURCE ” button of the AMP 3 remote control until the ****icon on the top screen wakes up and blinks twice.

IR LEARNING PROCEDURE

Dependent upon the D 3045 going first to network standby mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
** Power ON, Vol+, Vol- and Mute can be learned in any order or sequence.

TURN OFF TV’S INTERNAL SPEAKERS (IF SO EQUIPPED)
It is recommended that you disable the TV’s internal speakers so that only the D 3045 is heard. This setting is usually accessible from the TV’s Setup Menu. Consult your TV’s Instruction Manual for instructions specific to your make and model of TV.

CLEAR LEARNED IR CODES
To delete learned IR codes

Press and hold D 3045 remote controls [MUTE]. When “LEARNING… Choose One Key” is shown, press and hold again [MUTE]. Learned IR codes are deleted when the display exits the learning mode screen and returns to the current source.

FEET INSTALLATION GUIDE

The dome-shaped feet are supplied for optional installation. There are two ways of installing the feet as per the suggested methods below. You may generate a template for the proper placement of the feet.

NOTE
Ensure that with the feet installed, the D 3045 is stable, balanced, and will not tip over.
