1.Initially set the HPS’s Gain control to the “O” position.

2.Initially set the HPS’s Crossover control to the 100Hz position.

3.Plug your HPS’s AC cord into a wall outlet. Do not use the outlets on the back of the receive

4.Turn on your HPS sub by pressing the power button on the center of the front panel.

5.Turn on your entire audio system and start a CD or movie sound track at a moderate leve

6.Turn your HPS’s Gain control 4 (Figure 2) up to the “5” position (half way). If no soun emanates from the subwoofer, check the AC-line cord and input cables. Are the connector on the cables making proper contact? Is the AC plug connected to a “live” receptacle? Ha the power button been pressed to the “on” position? (Note: A green indicator on the fron panel will light when the power is on.) Once you have confirmed that the subwoofer active, proceed by playing a CD, record or cassette. Use a selection that has ample bas information.

7.Set the overall volume control of the preamplifier or stereo to a comfortable level. Adju

the subwoofer’s Gain control 4 (Figure 2) until you obtain a pleasing blend of bass. Bas response should not overpower the room but rather be adjusted so there is a harmoniou blend across the entire musical range. Many users have a tendency to set the subwoofe volume too loud, adhering to the belief that a subwoofer is there to produce lots of bas This is not entirely true. A subwoofer is there to enhance bass, extending the response o the entire system so the bass can be felt as well as heard. However, overall balance mu be maintained or the music will not sound natural. An experienced listener will set th volume of the subwoofer so its impact on bass response is always there but never obtrusiv

8. Crossover Control 2 (Figure 2) – The Low-Pass control determines the highest frequenc at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main speakers can comfortably reproduc some low-frequency sounds, set this control to a lower frequency setting, betwee 50Hz – 100Hz. This will concentrate the subwoofer’s efforts on the ultradeep bass sound required by today’s films and music. If you are using smaller bookshelf speakers that d not extend to the lower bass frequencies, set the low-pass crossover control to a highe setting, between 120Hz – 150Hz.

9.The Phase Control 3 (Figure 2) determines whether the subwoofer speaker’s piston-lik action moves in and out with the main speakers, 0˚, or opposite the main speakers, 180 Proper phase adjustment depends on several variables such as room size, subwoofe placement and listener position. Adjust the phase switch to maximize bass output at th listening position.

10.The EQ switch, located on the front panel, optimizes the subwoofer's performance fo both movie and music listening. When in the “Video” position, a special EQ circuit activated, enhancing low frequencies by approximately 3dB at 32Hz and delivering th full impact and excitement of today’s movie soundtracks. When in the “Audio” position the subwoofer provides the accurate and linear frequency response that is ideal when natural tonal balance is desired for music listening.

11.Remember: every system, room and listener is different. There are not necessarily any righ or wrong settings; any setting you choose will result in excellent performance. Should yo decide to fine-tune your system for optimum performance, be patient and trust your ear It will be worth the effort involved to fully “tweak” your system.

HPS-1000, HPS-500 specifications
