It will not light up at all until the Main Power switch is set to the on position.

Auto: When set to this position, the subwoofer’s auto-on circuitry turns the amplifier on when an audio signal is presented (turning the power indicator light green), and turns it off in approximately 15 minutes if no signal is detected (turning the power indicator red).

On: When set to this position, the subwoofer’s auto-on circuitry is bypassed and the amplifier will remain on whether an audio signal is present or not (the power indicator light stays green).

Placement

Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. Typically, the sound is best when the subwoofer is within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. However, the sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the main speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come from the main speakers. In most cases, the subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the listening room.

The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at different positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness is emphasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output, while placement near only one wall will provide some- what less bass. Placement completely away from walls may produce too little bass. Regardless of how you place the sub- woofer, you can adjust the subwoofer’s level with its volume control. If you move the subwoofer, recheck the setting of the polarity switch. Use the setting that yields the louder and more dynamic sound.

IMPORTANT: Do not place the subwoofer where there is a chance of contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture. Avoid obstructing air flow to the back.

This results in a more natural listening experience, with excellent vocal clarity and instrument separation.
