Subwoofer Setup

Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the subwoofer connections. Switch on your player and select the sound source.

Switch on/off the subwoofer

1To activate the subwoofer, set the on/off switch at the

rear of the subwoofer to ‘ON’ position.

If the subwoofer is not to be used for a longer period of time, it is advisable to set the on/off switch to ‘OFF’ position.

2Rotate the VOLUME knob at the front panel of subwoofer until you hear a click, clockwise to switch on and anti-clockwise to switch off.

➜ The LED indicator will light up in green when the subwoofer is switched on.

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 player 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 favourite songs.

Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are the most suitable samples for adjusting the subwoofer volume.

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

Phase Selector

Use PHASE SELECTOR located at the rear 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 expanse 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 player 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 player.
