FRONT REAR

POSITIONING

Because low-frequency sound reproduced by the powered subwoofer is mostly non-directional, the listener will be unable to localize the bass source. Accordingly, the powered subwoofer provides maximum flexibility in terms of positioning. For the most effective low-frequency sound, the powered subwoofer should be placed on the floor close to a wall or in a corner of the room.

ACONNECTIONS

Connect the speaker cords before connecting the AC cord.

Connect the SUPER WOOFER or SUB WOOFER jack on the stereo system a to the INPUT (FROM SUPER WOOFER TERMINAL) jack on the powered subwoofer b with the supplied connecting cord.

BOPERATION

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME BALANCE

Adjust the volume balance between the powered subwoofer and the left and right speakers of the connected stereo system.

1 Press the POWER button.

The unit enters the power standby mode and the POWER indicator above the button lights up dimly.

2 Start playback on the connected stereo system.

The unit is automatically turned on and the POWER indicator becomes brighter when receiving a signal input.

3 Adjust the volume of the powered subwoofer.

Moderate volume setting

To get natural bass sounds, adjust the volume of the powered subwoofer according to its position and the graphic equalizer setting of the stereo system.

Adjustment examples

a Set the VOLUME control to a little lower than the middle when the subwoofer is placed on the floor and the graphic equalizer is set to off.

b Set the VOLUME control to the middle when the subwoofer is positioned higher than the floor and the graphic equalizer is set to off.

•To avoid overloading the powered subwoofer, do not set the volume of the stereo system so high that the sound is distorted.

•Low frequency sounds may be distorted when they are emphasized by the graphic equalizer on the stereo system. Adjust the VOLUME control on the powered subwoofer or the graphic equalizer on the stereo system.

•If the powered subwoofer will not be used for a long period of time, press the POWER button to turn off the power, and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.

AUTO POWER ON/OFF FUNCTION

Once the POWER button is pressed, the auto power on/off function automatically controls on and off.

When no signal is input for more than about 90 seconds, the power is automatically turned off and the unit enters the standby mode. When receiving a signal input, the power is automatically turned on.

In the standby mode, the POWER indicator becomes dimmer.

If the volume of the connected equipment is low, the sound may be cut by the auto power on/off function.
