Volume may be adjusted using the Subwoofer Level control b, as shown.

The Phase control determines whether the subwoofer’s pistonlike action moves in and out in phase with the main speakers or opposite the main speakers. There is no correct or incorrect setting. Proper phase adjustment depends on several variables, such as subwoofer placement and listener position. Adjust the Phase switch cto maximize bass output at the listening position.

Remember, every system, room and listener is different. There are no right or wrong settings; this switch offers the added flexibility to adjust your subwoofer for optimum performance for your specific listening conditions without having to move your speakers. If at some time in the future you happen to rearrange your listening room and move your speakers, you should experiment with the phase switch in both positions, and leave it in the position that maximizes bass performance.
