Instructions
Besides the soundbar, this is what you get:
The Black Bag. You can carry it around and even play it in the bag.
The Yoga Pad. If you play the Titan loud, it may hop around on a smooth surface, or maybe rattle on the table. The pad helps ameliorate that problem. Think: your cell phone on vibrate.
The Cable. Lets you plug it into anything that has that plug, located on the left end of the bar. Phone, computer, I-pod, etc. It actually performs better plugged in with a good source; unfortunately, some Apple phones sound poorly as plugged in sources compared to other Apple products. LG and Motorola and many Samsung sound very good plugged in direct, as do many laptops and desktops. Plugged in, Titan One will have twice the resolution of CD's, the industry standard, 88k Hz sampling, which will only make a difference if you have high res recordings. MP3's are unfixable, but there is circuitry that helps un-MP3 MP3's, making them sound better. Very subjective.
The Charger. There is a battery inside, the charger plugs into the left side of the Titan. It says ā+12Vā. When charging, or just plugged in, it will play 4 dB louder (noticeable). On a full charge, you should get 8 hours or more of use. It varies with loudness, material, etc.
There are two on/off switches. The hard switch on the right side should be turned off when it's not going to be in use for a while. If the hard switch is left on, a small amount of power will be used continuously, waiting for a bluetooth device. So to start, turn the hard switch on.
Next, there are a line of switches on the front panel: on/off, bluetooth/aux, mute, lower volume, raise volume, on the front panel.
Turn on the soft switch on the front panel. It will first look for bluetooth, because that's what most people want. If it can't find one you can switch to aux. Bluetooth will come up as minibar 139, 239A, or some variation on that, on your phone or computer. Yet to be finalized, the name does not affect the performance.
There is a mute switch, and +/- volume buttons. If it is connected Bluetooth, it will act as a hands-free phone, which sounds really good.
There are a huge amount of digital tricks going on inside to make it sound better, like increasing the bass at lower volumes, equalizing the speaker to not distort when played really loud, compression and expansion, etc., designed to improve things without the tricks being noticed. It should never be able to distort, but you may find a way to make it happen; I bet it will take a lot of work, though. Thats about it! Any questions, let us know.
