and is turned on, and the LED is lit amber to indicate that no signal is being received and the SUB-TS7 is in Standby mode.

When the Music-Sense On/Off Switch £ is in the ON position, the LED will be

lit blue, whether or not an audio signal is present.

When the Master Power Switch ª is turned off, the LED goes dark, no matter which position the Music-Sense On/Off Switch £ is in.

¢Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the SUB-TS7 subwoofer’s piston- like action moves in and out in phase with the main speakers. If the speakers were to play out of phase, the sound waves pro- duced by the subwoofer would be cancelled out, reducing bass response. This phenome- non depends in part on the relative place- ment of the speakers in the room. In most cases, the Phase Switch ¢ should be left in the NORMAL position. However, it does no harm to experiment with the Phase Switch ¢, and you may leave it in the position that maximizes bass response.

∞Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input: Connect the subwoofer output of a receiver with digital surround sound decoding, such as Dolby* Digital or DTS®, to this input. This input bypasses the SUB-TS7’s internal crossover circuitry, and should only be used with a filtered signal. If your receiver does not have digital decoding, you should use the Line-Level Full-Range Inputs § instead.

§Line-Level Full-Range Inputs: Connect the line-level subwoofer output or preamp out- put(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these inputs. If your receiver does not have a sepa- rate subwoofer output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied) to bridge the receiver’s preamp out- put to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the long end of the adapter

to the corresponding line-level input on the SUB-TS7. If your receiver has only a single subwoofer output, you may connect it to either the left or right line-level input on the SUB-TS7, and no Y-adapter is needed.

¶Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are using the Speaker-Level Inputs • on the SUB-TS7, you should connect these binding- post terminals to your front left and right speakers, remembering to maintain polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the SUB- TS7 subwoofer to the (+) terminal on the speaker, and the (–) terminal on the SUB- TS7 subwoofer to the (–) terminal on the speaker. If you are not using the Speaker- Level Inputs •, then connect your front left and right speakers directly to your receiver or amplifier. See pages 9 through 12 for further information on speaker connections.

•Speaker-Level Inputs: Connect these binding-post terminals to the main left and right speaker terminals of your receiver or amplifier, if your receiver or amplifier does not have a line-level subwoofer output. Remember to maintain polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the

(+) terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer, and the (–) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the

(–) terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer.

ªMaster Power Switch: Place this switch in the “•” position to power-on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer. The SUB-TS7 will then be either in the Standby mode or completely on, depending on the position of the Music- Sense On/Off Switch £.

‚AC Power Cord: Make sure to plug this cord into an active, unswitched electrical out- let for proper operation of the SUB-TS7.

The cord should not be plugged into the accessory outlets found on some audio components.
