A. Crossover Frequency Control

The frequency control changes the upper cut-off frequency of the subwoofer. Its effective range is from 15Hz to 140Hz at a rate of 12dB/24dB per octave. The frequency control should be adjusted to achieve the smoothest integration between the main/satellite speakers and the subwoofer.

Clockwise rotation will increase the cut-off frequency and anti-clockwise rotation will decrease the cut-off frequency.

1.Ideal Crossover - Flat Response.

2.Crossover point set too low - Causes Dip in combined response.

3.Crossover Point set too high - Causes hump in combined response.

As the sub-bass (low frequency) sound produced by the subwoofer is non-directional it can be positioned almost

anywhere in the room, although it should not be placed too close to the listener. If possible try the subwoofer in different positions to find the best place for a boom-free sound.

B. Phase Control

The phase control will normally be set at 0° but more output level can sometimes be achieved in the 180° position, particularly when the subwoofer is far away from the satellite speakers.

C. Volume Control

The volume control adjusts the output level of the subwoofer in relation to the satellite or AV speaker output level. Clockwise rotation to increase the output level or anti-clockwise to decrease the output level.

D. Auto/Manual Switch

It enables / disables the input to your subwoofer to be muted. Setting this switch to Auto position, the subwoofer will mute the input automatically if it is idled for about 45 minutes. It resumes to work instnataneously after a signal is applied. If Manual is set, the unit will never be muted even when idle.

E. Ground In/Out

Enhances compatibility. Used to break possible earth loops which cause audible hum.

F. Music/Cinema

This switch selects one of two characteristics: Music is selected to give deep, clean bass; Cinema is selected to give cinematic impact.

G. Slope

Used to adjust transition between speakers and subwoofer.
