6. If you notice any of the following, you may need to
adjust the subwoofer input sensitivity setting:
• ‘LIMIT’ appears regularly on the subwoofer
display.
• The subwoofer distorts at peaks in the audio
signal.
• The subwoofer volume is at the maximum setting
(40) and is still not loud enough.
To adjust the input sensitivity setting, see Changing
the Input Sensitivity Setting.
Changing the Input Sensitivity Setting
Perform the following steps to adjust the input
sensitivity setting:
1. Press and hold the Phase button on the back panel
for 5 seconds to enter Edit mode.
2. Release the button when the status indicator blinks
blue.
3. Press the Low Pass Filter Up/Down button to select
an input sensitivity setting (-12 dB, -6 dB or 0 dB will
appear on the front display).
Note : You will likely not need to change this setting
unless you are using the subwoofer with vintage or
atypical audio equipment.
4. Press and hold the Phase button on the back panel
for 5 seconds to save the setting.
5. Play content and listen to the sound to verify the
subwoofer volume is now to your liking. Readjust the
volume and input sensitivity settings as needed.
Selecting EQ Modes
The three equalization (EQ) modes are variations
in frequency response. They allow you to adjust for
program material differences. Use the setting(s) that
best suite your listening preferences.
1. Loud: This is the best setting to use when
achieving maximum volume levels with minimal
distortion. Use when volume is more important than
playing lowest frequencies.
2. Deep: This setting maximizes the deepest octave
bass response at the sacrifice of maximum volume
level. CAUTION: This setting should not be used at
high-volume levels.
3. Flat: This setting is the recommended starting
point. No changes to subwoofer EQ are applied.
