Operation

Move the Master Power switch (marked “Power” ) to the “•” (On) position to use the subwoofer. The SUB-TS7 subwoofer will auto- matically turn itself on or go into standby mode depending on whether or not a signal is being sent to it by your receiver or surround processor, and provided that the Trigger On/Off Switch

is moved down so that it is in the "AUTO" position. When your receiver or amplifier is off, or is not sending program material to the sub- woofer, the subwoofer will be in standby mode and the LED Indicator on the top of the sub- woofer will turn amber. When the subwoofer senses an audio signal, it will automatically turn itself on and the LED Indicator will turn blue.

If the subwoofer does not sense a signal after approximately twenty minutes, it will automati- cally go into standby mode.

When the Trigger On/Off Switch is

switched to the “On” position, the subwoofer will remain on, whether or not program material is playing and the LED Indicator will remain lit blue.

If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if the subwoofer will not be

used, switch the Master Power switch to the OFF position.

Volume

Volume can be adjusted using the Subwoofer

Level Control (above), as shown below. Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the volume of the subwoofer, and counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer's volume.

Additional Bass Adjustments

In addition to the volume adjustments described above, the SUB-TS7 subwoofer includes a Phase

Switch and a Filter Switch that can be used to adjust the bass response to suit your listening environment or taste.

In most situations, the Phase Switch should be left in the NORMAL position.

If you suspect that the subwoofer is playing out of phase with the other speakers, which would tend to diminish bass response, try placing this switch in the REVERSE position. There is no harm in experimenting, and you may return the switch to the NORMAL position at any time.

If you rearrange your room and reposition the speakers, it would be a good idea to check whether they are in phase by flipping this switch.

The High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch limits the frequencies of the audio signal inputted to the subwoofer to the low frequen- cies that the subwoofer reproduces best.

This allows the subwoofer to perform more efficiently, and with superior bass reproduction, minimizing distortion that might occur if the subwoofer attempted to reproduce higher frequencies. This switch should be left in the ON position, except:

1. When the Sub Input

is being used, in

which case it has no effect, or

 

2. When the Speaker-Level Inputs

or the

Line-Level Full-Range Inputs

are being

used with a crossover or filter aboard the receiver or processor.

In these two circumstances, place the switch in the OFF position.
