Subwoofer Setup
Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the
subwoofer connections. Switch on your player and select
the sound source.
Switch on/off the subwoofer
Rotate the VOLUME knob at the front panel of
subwoofer until you hear a click, clockwise to switch
on and counterclockwise to switch off.
The LED indicator will light up in green when the
subwoofer is switched on.
Volume Adjustment
You can adjust the subwoofer to suit the sound level of
your front speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a
greater sense of atmosphere.
Adjust the VOLUME on the player until the sound from
the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the
sound from the subwoofer also will be distorted.
Play your favorite songs.
Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are the most
suitable samples for adjusting the subwoofer volume.
Adjust the VOLUME on the subwoofer to determine the
loudness of the bass sound from the subwoofer
Phase Selector
Use PHASE SELECTOR located at the rear of the
subwoofer to select the phase polarity. Selecting the
polarity at either 0“ or 180“ may determine better bass
reproduction effect in certain listening environments
(depending on the type of front speakers and the position
of the subwoofer). It also may change the expanse and
tightness of the sound, and affect the feeling of the sound
field. Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer
when you are in your normal listening position.
Repeat the adjustment for Volume and Phase Polarity to
suit your preference. After you have adjusted the
subwoofer to the settings you desire, use the VOLUME
control on the player to adjust the volume of the
subwoofer and the other speakers. You will not need to
adjust the subwoofer settings again, even when you change
the volume level of the player.
