9. Mains Power Switch
The Mains Power Switch should be switched to the ‘Off’ position when the
RS W12 will not be used for extended periods. The switch must be in the ‘On’
position for the sub-woofer to function.
10. IEC Mains Power Connector/ Fuse Location
The RS W12 is supplied with a two-pin mains input socket for connection to the
mains supply. Use ONLY the appropriate IEC mains lead provided with the
product. Also fitted is an external mains fuse. If a fuse blows during operation a
spare fuse is provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish to
change the fuse, you can do this by removing the IEC mains lead and carefully
levering out the original fuse from its holder below the IEC mains input socket
(9a). If the fuse blows again it is advisable to seek help from an authorised
service agent. DO NOT attempt to re-fit a further fuse as this could result in
serious damage to the amplifier unit.
11. Volume Control
This control allows the level or volume to be adjusted in order to achieve a
balanced overall sound. To use this facility you will need to play a selection of
familiar music or film excerpts. Start with the volume at minimum and increase
the level control until a balanced sound is established. If using an A/V processor
or A/V receiver amplifier, the system can adjusted by the test tone function within
the set-up features. (refer to the set up section in the A/V processor or A/V
receiver amplifier user guide.) When the RS W12 is correctly set-up, you should
not be able to identify its location easily in the room.
12. EQ 1 setting
The EQ 1 setting should be set as a default option. This will provide the best
overall transient response and power output. This setting will provide a
maximally flat response suitable for music or Music video. Note: Frequency roll
off starts at 27Hz
13. EQ 2 setting
The EQ 2 setting should be used when an emphasis in the low frequency is
required. An additional boost of 4dB will be provided at 21Hz to give impact
essential for action movies.
The EQ1 and EQ2 settings can also be adjusted to suit personal taste. This is
done by pressing the buttons located on the control panel.
