“Phase” - This screen is used to adjust the subwoofer’s acoustic phase to match that of your main speakers. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the subwoofer’s phase from 0° to 180°. The proper setting of this control is highly dependant on room acoustics and the position of your subwoofer in the room. After setting the volume and low pass controls, adjust the phase to 0° and listen to a recording with a prominent, repeating bass line in your intended listening position. Repeat this process with the 180° setting and use the setting that yields the greatest amount of bass output. If neither of these settings is better than the other experiment with intermediate settings. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings.
