Placing Speakers

All stereo-encoded information is heard through the primary speaker system. The subwoofer contains no stereo imaging, and its sound is non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer doesn’t have to be placed in any particular relationship to the speaker system. However, placing the subwoofer on the ﬂoor close to a wall or room corner provides better bass efﬁciency and optimum sound.

Warning: The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. As such, it SHOULD be placed at least 2 feet (0.6m) from TVs, computer monitors, computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e.g., ﬂoppy disks, Zip disks, computer or audio tapes, etc.).

Making Connections

Warning: Do not insert the subwoofer’s power plug into a wall outlet until all connections are made. Also, turn off the primary speaker system and audio source (i.e., your PC, MP3 player, Sony PlayStation, etc.) before connecting the subwoofer.

To ensure ﬁrst-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the connection sequences described below in the order indicated.

•Locate the 3.5mm stereo cable that came with the BB2001 subwoofer.

•Plug one end of the 3.5mm stereo cable into the output labeled “SUB OUT’ on the back of the primary speaker system.

•Plug the other end of the 3.5mm stereo cable into the input labeled “SUB IN” on the back of the BB2001 Powered Subwoofer.

Powering On

1.After all other connections are made, plug the AC power cord (on the back of subwoofer) into a wall outlet. The speaker system is now ready to operate.

2.Turn on the audio source.

3.Turn on the primary speaker system.

4.Turn on the BB2001 Powered Subwoofer by rotating the POWER/VOLUME knob clockwise.

Note: To avoid hearing a popping sound when you turn on the primary speaker system, always turn on your audio source ﬁrst.

Volume

The POWER/VOLUME knob on the back of the BB2001 Powered Subwoofer controls the subwoofer volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer volume and counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer volume.

Phase

The PHASE switch on the back of the unit can improve the acoustic performance of the BB2001 Powered Subwoofer by allowing you to put the subwoofer in phase with your primary speaker system.

Depending on its placement, it is possible that the output of the subwoofer is out of phase with the primary speaker system. This will result in an overall decreased bass response. To set the switch, compare listening to the BB2001 Powered Subwoofer together with your primary speaker system with the switch in, then out, then simply leave the switch in the position that sounds best.
