Positioning

Positioning

The PLW-15 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably without being under tension. Leave the PLW-15 unplugged until you are happy with it’s location.

Never connect or disconnect any of the input connections with the PLW-15 switched on.

Optimal control settings will depend entirely on your system configuration. For initial trials set the controls as follows:

Set Up

Once in position and cables have been routed; connect them to the PLW-15. Mains power cable should be connected last. Do not play any music at this stage.

NOTE: The entire set up procedure can be done via the control panel or remote control handset.

Using an A/V Processor/Receiver

Connect a single interconnect cable from an A/V processor/receiver to the connection marked LFE input. LFE must be displayed on the control panel display. If ‘2-CH’ (indicating 2 Channel, stereo input) is displayed, the LFE button on the remote control can be pressed to select LFE. LFE should then be indicated on the display.

Using the LFE input, negates the PLW-15’s crossover filter. This needs to be set on the A/V processor/receiver. Please refer to the product user manual for further information. As a guide, the crossover should be set up in accordance with the low frequency limit of the main speakers (see table on page 10).

Using 2 Channel (L&R) stereo inputs

Stereo L & R input may be required if using a 2-channel stereo amplifier, or an older A/V receiver with no LFE output. Connect 2 x interconnect cables (left and right) from a stereo amplifier or A/V processor receiver to connections marked Line Inputs L & R. ‘2-CH’ (indicating stereo input) must be displayed on the control panel display. If ‘LFE’ is displayed, the LFE button on the remote control can be pressed to select stereo input. ‘2-CH’ should then be indicated on the display.

Once the appropriate input has been selected, you can now enter the set up menu. This is done by pressing enter (on the remote) or by pressing the encoder.

If you are using the PLW-15 with a stereo amplifier and an AV amplifier/ receiver, different setting for each input can be saved to different memory locations and the recalled depending on input. Memory recall is achieved by pressing the up arrow on the remote.

Factory Settings

Factory settings are denoted by the symbol Set Up in the Set Up Guide:

These should be treated as the initial setting when setting up your product. Further fine tuning of the settings can be done if you feel these factory settings do not match your environment or tastes.

The factory setting are stored in the Memory Recall option under ‘default’. These cannot be changed.
