5.Power Mode Switch with On-Auto-Off Facility

The Power Mode Switch has three positions: ‘On’–‘Auto’–‘Off’. When the switch is in the ‘Off’ position the subwoofer will not function. In the ‘Auto’ position the subwoofer will automatically switch on when an input signal is received. It will remain on. If no signal is received for around 15-20 minutes, the RS W12 will then switch into standby mode until a signal is received once more. With the switch in the ‘On’ position, the subwoofer is permanently switched on under all conditions.

6.RCA Line Level Inputs (Left & Right)

This is the only method of signal input connection to the RS W12. When using a stereo amplifier system, connection can be provided by a pair of high-quality signal cables from the pre-out section of an amplifier. If a digital A/V processor or A/V receiver/amplifier is to be used, a single cable can be connected from the ‘sub out’ or LFE connection on the amplifier to the RCA input connection on the RS W12 labelled ‘R’. The RCA input marked ‘L’ in this case will remain unused.

Note: - cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other electrical appliances.

7.RCA Line Level Outputs (Left & Right)

RCA line level outputs are provided in order to use other sub-woofers in conjunction with the RS W12 by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The outputs are link out only connections and do not provide any form of filtering.

8.Warning Information

The following warning symbols are found on the amp panel. The meanings are:

This lightening flash with an arrow head symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to the persons.

Waning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back) no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel

This exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to presence of important operating maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance
