SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
Subwoofer placement is important, but less critical than speaker placement, because the frequencies subs reproduce are omni directional. This means the human ear doesn’t perceive these low frequencies as coming from a specific direction, enabling placement of a subwoofer virtually anywhere in the listening room.
It’s best, however, to keep a subwoofer within the sound field of the other speakers. The closer the subwoofer is to a wall, the louder and more intense its bass output will be: this effect is even stronger when the sub is placed in or near a room’s corner. If using two subwoofers, start by placing them next to the front left and right speakers, in both front corners or one in the corner and one 1/3 of the way along the front wall from the corner. Each room is different. Experiment with these options and try other locations until you get the best results. If you must choose a

1.Power ON/Auto/OFF: This switch, when left in the “Auto” position, automatically activates the subwoofer when an audio signal is detected and shuts the subwoofer off after approximately ten (10) minutes of silence.
2.Subwoofer Level Control: Adjusts the volume of bass energy allowing you to customize overall tonal balance to your individual room acoustics and personal taste.
3.Crossover Frequency Control: This adjustment varies the point at which the subwoofer takes over the task of creating low bass frequencies from the rest of the audio signal permitting additional fine tuning of the total system. A little experimentation with this control will allow you to match the performance of the subwoofer to the rest of your speakers resulting in extraordinary, accurate, deep bass response. This control should be turned to its highest setting when the sub is connected through the Subwoofer out on your receiver.
4.Phase Control: This adjustment matches the phase - the in and out movement of speaker cones - to that of your main speakers. Adjust this control by listening to music with bass content. The setting is correct when the bass sounds the fullest.
