Usage Features

The Creative SBS E2900 is designed for ease of use, offering both on-device controls and a comprehensive infrared remote control.

Power On/Off and Standby:

To power on the speaker system from "Standby" mode, where the LED display shows "----", simply press the "ن" button on the device or remote. To return to "Standby" mode, press and hold the "ن" button again.

Source Selection:

Users can easily switch between different input sources—Bluetooth (BT), AUX, DVD, USB, SD Card, and FM radio—by pressing the "SOURCE" button on the device or remote. The LED display will indicate the active source (e.g., "bt" for Bluetooth, "AU" for AUX, "DUD" for DVD, "Ub" for USB, "Sd" for SD Card, and "F" for FM radio).

Volume Control:

Volume can be adjusted using the Volume Control Knob on the subwoofer or the "Volume+" and "Volume-" buttons on the remote control.

Media Playback (USB/SD Card):

When playing media from a USB drive or SD card, users can navigate tracks using the "Previous Track / Previous FM station" and "Next Track / Next FM station" buttons on the device or remote. The "Play/Pause / FM Auto Scan" button allows for playback control. The remote also features a 0-9 Numeric Keypad for direct track selection. In USB and SD Card modes, the "TUNING+" button on the remote can cycle through repeat modes: Repeat All, Repeat Once, or Repeat Off.

FM Radio Operation:

To automatically search for FM radio stations, press and hold the "►II/FM SCAN" button on the device or the "Play/Pause / FM Auto Scan" button on the remote. For manual tuning, use the "Tuning-" and "Tuning+" buttons on the remote to adjust the frequency step-by-step (0.1 MHz per step). Press and hold "Tuning-" or "Tuning+" to search for the next available channel. Once a desired FM channel is found, it will play automatically. To save a favorite FM channel, press the "Memory" button on the remote. Saved stations can be toggled using the "Previous Track / FM station" and "Next Track / FM station" buttons.

Bluetooth Pairing:

In Bluetooth mode, the system will provide voice and front-LED display cues to guide the pairing process. To initiate Bluetooth pairing, press and hold the "►II/FM SCAN" button on the device. By default, the system will attempt to connect to the last paired device if available, while remaining discoverable to new devices as long as it's not connected to any Bluetooth device.

Tone Control:

The remote control includes a "Tone" button that allows users to adjust Bass and Treble settings. Pressing "Tone" enables adjustment using the "VOL +/-" buttons, with levels ranging from -6 (min) to +6 (max).

LED Display Color:

The "LED" button on the remote allows users to toggle between Red, Blue, and Purple color presets for the LED display.

Mute Function:

Press the "Mute" button on the remote once to turn the volume off, and press it again to restore the volume.
