When the “SAT” filter is in the CUT posi- tion, all of the bass energy will be pro- duced via the PSW800. When the switch is in the FULL position, both the satellite speakers and the PSW800 will reproduce the bass signal. Typically, satellites with woofers that are

12.Install the grille into the speaker. The grilles should fit snugly. If you have difficulty fitting them in, try loosening the screws used to secure the frame to the bracket slightly (excessive tightening can distort the shape of the frame holding the grille in place).
Painting the Speakers
All models may be painted. The plastic will readily accept most paints.
The subwoofers must be masked prior to painting them. The inside rectangular por- tion of the hole template can be used as a paint mask. Remove the outside portion of the template by gently pulling along the perforation. Affix the mask to the front of the speaker by
The grilles should be painted before they are installed. For all models, the best results will be obtained by using a spray
gun or airless sprayer, thinning the paint (prevents clogging of grille holes), and by applying several light coats instead of one heavy one.
Speaker/Subwoofer Phase
Speaker wire has two conductors. One conductor is attached to the negative
If you make a mistake, there are three pos- sibilities:
1)Subwoofer Input Phase Reversal
The Left Input of the subwoofer is out of phase with the Right Input. If this is the case, you will hear almost no output out of the subwoofer when playing a loud bass passage. Try reversing one of the subwoofer inputs. If the sound gets a great deal louder, that was the problem. If bass sound was reduced, return the connections to their original state.
2)Subwoofer /Satellite Relative Phasing An acoustically
