3.While playing a favorite music track, adjust your system’s volume control to a comfortable level and listen to the bass level at your favorite listening position (e.g., couch). Next, move the LEVEL SETUP switch to MOVIE and play a favorite movie chapter. Listen to the bass level, and, if desired, adjust the MOVIE LEVEL control to change the movie bass level to taste.

4.Move the LEVEL SETUP switch back to MUSIC and play the music track again. If desired, adjust the MUSIC LEVEL control to taste.

5.Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the appropriate setting for LEVEL SETUP. If you want a more solid-sounding bass (with less overtones), try moving the LOW PASS FREQUENCY control toward the lower frequencies. Experiment with different frequency settings until you find one that sounds best. If needed, readjust the MOVIE LEVEL and MUSIC LEVEL controls (see steps 3 and 4 above).

6.Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the appropriate setting for LEVEL SETUP. Try experimenting with the PHASE control until you find its optimum setting. Depending on the Pro15SW’s placement, the bass should sound more pronounced when the phase has been optimized.

CHECKING PHASE ON THE SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKERS

Loudspeaker wire has two conductors. On applications with satellite loudspeakers, one conductor is attached to a component’s negative (–) terminal, while the other is attached to a component’s positive (+) terminal. Usually, the wire is marked for your convenience, but the marking can be done in the following different ways:

■Stripe on one wire

■Ribbed area you can feel on one conductor

■Different colors of metal wire on each conductor

■Fabric strand or string wound into one of the conductors
