Adjusting For Best Performance
We recommend you adjust the Control Module accord-
ing to the following sequence:
1. Set the equalizer controls.
2. Set the low pass control.
3. Set the volume control by ear.
4. Set the phase control by ear.
5. Reset the volume control (if necessary).
6. Adjust the equalizer frequency and equalizer level
controls to your preference.
Adjustment:
1. Start with the equalizer level set to 0 (straight up)
and the equalizer frequency control set to approxi-
mately 30 Hz (see diagram at the top of the page).
2. Adjust the low pass control according to the Low
Pass Control Settings Table on the opposite page.
3. Set the subwoofer’s volume with the supplied
remote control. Use some of your favorite program
material (video or audio). Adjust the output level
until you are happy with the overall bass balance.
4. Adjust the phase control. This control’s action will
be subtle. Make this adjustment from your listening
position. If the control module is not within easy
reach, have someone else adjust this control while
you listen.
phase control adjustment: Play some program mate-
rial with constant, regular bass (like a kick drum
beat). Rotate the phase control back and forth
across its full range and listen for an increase in out-
put. The output difference you hear could be any-
thing from negligible to significant. However large
the difference, leave this control set where it has the
maximum effect.
If you do not hear any difference in the bass output,
skip Step 5.
