Subwoofer-Level Control: Volume

may be adjusted using the Subwoofer-Level Control. Turn the control clockwise to increase the subwoofer’s volume, or counterclockwise to decrease it.

High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch: Plac-

ing this switch in the ON position activates cir- cuitry that cuts out all audio input signals above 120Hz. This allows the subwoofer to focus its power on reproducing the low-frequency portion of the signal, avoiding inefficiency and distortion. Engage this filter when using the

Speaker-Level Inputs , or when using the

Line-Level Full-Range Inputs

, unless your

receiver or processor processes its line-level

output using a low-pass filter. The filter has no

effect when the Sub Input

is used.

Trigger Input: Some receivers or sound processors have a Trigger Output that sends a signal to the subwoofer to switch on or off. If your receiver has such a Trigger Output, connect it here. When placed in the AUTO position, and when the Master Power Switch is turned on, the subwoofer will automatically turn itself on or place itself in the Standby mode, depending on the status of your receiver or processor. When this switch is placed in the ON position, the subwoofer will remain on, whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.

An LED located on top of the subwoofer indicates whether the subwoofer is in the On or standby state when used with the Trigger On/Off Switch in the AUTO position. The LED is lit blue to indicate that the subwoofer is receiving an audio signal and is turned on, and the LED is lit amber to indicate that no signal is being received and the subwoofer is in Standby mode.

When the Trigger 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 is turned

off, the LED goes dark, no matter which position

the Trigger On/Off Switch

is in.
