direction), where you place it is not as critical as it is for your left and right speakers. It will sound fine no matter where you place it in the room. However, here are a few suggestions for getting the most out of the subwoofer.
Some suggestions for placement
• For the smoothest match |
between the subwoofer and the |
area |
• If you place the subwoofer near |
your TV, it may affect the picture |
colors. If this happens, move the |
subwoofer away from the TV |
until the picture returns to |
normal |
Using the Subwoofer with Kenwood’s
• Set the subwoofer’s LOW |
PASS CROSSOVER knob to |
the ‘150Hz’ setting |
• Initially set the subwoofer’s |
VOLUME control to the ‘11- |
o’clock’ position |
• After listening to music you |
are familiar with, adjust the |
subwoofer’s VOLUME control |
and PHASE switch to achieve |
the best blend between the |
sound from the subwoofer |
1 POWER

2 AUTO SHUTOFF
When both the POWER and AUTO SHUTOFF switches are on, the unit turns on automatically when the input receives a signal, and auto- matically goes into ‘standby’ mode if it doesn’t receive a signal for 7 minutes
3LOW PASS CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENT
Adjusts the balance between the bass from the front speakers and the bass from the subwoofer
You can adjust the balance accord- ing to the size of the front speakers as follows:
Large size | 50 | ~ 60 Hz |
Medium size | 80 | ~ 100 Hz |

If you want to use them, attach the 4 feet (using the 4 screws provided) to the
front (left and right) speakers, |
place the 3 of them in an imagi- |
nary straight line with each other |
• For more deep bass output, |
place the subwoofer next to |
a wall |
• For the deepest bass |
overall, place the |
subwoofer in a corner. |
However, this may |
yield uneven bass |
throughout the |

may not have enough |
•When you are setting up the

speakers |
• Although you can enhance overall |
sound quality with the amplifier |
or receiver’s tone controls, |
do not set them to ‘maxi- |
mum’, because this can |
cause extreme amplifier |
distortion (‘clipping’) |
that can damage speak- |
