●Place the subwoofer as shown.

●To obtain a better bass reproduction, place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur.

●Always place the subwoofer in a vertical position, at least a few centimeters away from the television and wall.

●Do not place an object on the subwoofer or sit on it.

●If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the subwoofer away from the center of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by installing a bookshelf on the wall for example.

IMPORTANT!

Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the preparation procedures. Switch on your mini system and select the sound source.

Volume Adjustment

You can adjust the subwoofer to suit the sound level of your front speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a greater sense of atmosphere.

1Adjust the VOLUME on the mini system until the sound from the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the sound from the subwoofer also will be distorted.

2Play your favorite songs.

●Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are the

most suitable samples for adjusting the subwoofer volume.

3Adjust the subwoofer VOLUME to determine the loudness of the bass sound from the subwoofer.

of the subwoofer to

select the phase polarity. Selecting the polarity at either 0˚ or 180˚ may determine better bass reproduction effect in certain listening environments (depending on the type of front speakers and the position of the subwoofer). It also may change the expense and tightness of the sound, and affect the feeling of the sound field. Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when you are in your normal listening position.

Repeat the adjustment for Volume and Phase Polarity to suit your preference. After you have adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you desire, use the VOLUME control on the mini system to adjust the volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers. You will not need to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when you change the volume level of the mini system.
