Rear Panel Description and Controls

1.POWER switch - The power switch has three positions: OFF - AUTO - ON. While the OFF and ON positions are self- explanatory, the AUTO position instructs the SUB-1500 to remain in STANDBY mode until the unit receives an input signal.

NOTE: If the SUB-1500 unit does not receive an input signal for approximately 10 minutes, it will switch to stand by mode until it receives a further

2.PHASE switch - This switch toggles the PHASE of the subwoofer with respect to the main speakers. If the subwoofer is out of phase with the main speakers, bass response is at a reduced performance level and may sound "weak". When all speakers are in phase, full-frequency response is at an optimal level.

7.HI-LEVEL IN jacks - These MDP binding posts are for direct connection of speaker output from an external amplifier.

NOTE: These inputs are typically used for connecting to a system that does not have "pre-out" or line level outputs available.

8.HI-LEVEL OUT jacks - These MDP binding posts are for direct connection to main system speakers or external devices.

NOTE: These inputs are typically used for signal output to main speakers or for daisy chaining.
