good place to start when making adjustments. In general, a lower bass volume setting is needed in smaller rooms.

Next, adjust the phase with the buttons marked “ ” or “ ” on the remote control. When you first press the phase up or down button, the display will flash Ph and then the current phase setting will be shown. The next press of the button will move the phase up or down. Set the phase to zero as an initial setting.

If you are not driving the servo-bass amplifier as recommended using the output of the power amplifier and the Servo-Bass Interconnect supplied, the phase will depend on the phase shift and group delay of your power amplifier. A typical value can be anywhere from 45 to 135 degrees. A phase inverting power amplifier will require that you invert the input phase of the Servo- Controlled amplifier.

Two crossover controls are provided on the Control Module that helps you tune the system into your room. The high-pass filter determines how low the woofers will play, and the low-pass filter determines how high the woofers play to. The frequency that you set these filters to will be the “knee” frequency after which the woofers will attenuate by 6dB per octave, and is not the –3dB point.

The high-pass filter and low-pass filter is set using the up/down/left/right navigation ring around the OK button. Up/down adjusts the high-pass filter up and down respectively, and right/left adjusts the low-pass up and down respectively.

Initially, set the high-pass (HI) filter to 26Hz until the woofers and amplifiers break in (about 300 hours of play). After which it can be set to 20Hz. Next, adjust the low pass

(LO) filter to 98Hz using the button marked "low pass" (on the remote control).

In addition to the current setting, the Control Module can memorize up to two sets of settings. To recall the settings in Memory 1, press the [1] key momentarily. To recall the settings in Memory 2, press the [2] key momentarily.

To store the current settings in Memory 1, press and hold the [1] key for approximately 5 seconds or until the display flashes. To store the
