12. Volume Control
This control allows the level or volume to be adjusted in order to achieve a balanced overall sound. To use this facility you will need to play a selection of familiar music or film excerpts. Start with the volume at minimum and increase the level control until a balanced sound is established. If using an AV processor or AV receiver amplifier, the system can be adjusted by the test tone function within the
13. EQ 1 setting
The EQ 1 setting should be set as a default option. This will provide the best overall transient response and power output. This setting will provide a maximally flat response suitable for music or music video. Note: Frequency roll off starts at 27Hz.
14. EQ 2 setting
The EQ 2 setting should be used when an emphasis in the low frequency is required. An additional boost of 4dB will be provided at 21Hz to give impact essential for action movies.
| You can toggle between the EQ1 and EQ2 to test which one is best suited to your environment. |

The majority of AV amplifiers have automatic setup systems. If your amp has an auto set up procedure, run this now with the volume set to around 10 o’clock. This should be enough for the AV amp to acquire the correct settings.
When the auto set up is complete check that the settings on the AV amp for the sub woofer to ensure they are correct. The crossover frequency should be roughly the same as in the table on page 7 and the level should be no more/ less than +/- 3dB. If not I would suggest adjusting accordingly.
Now play a variety of music/ film excerpts that you are familiar with gradually increasing the volume to an average listening level once you are sure everything is working correctly.
