•Rotate VOLUME clockwise until there is a click. y The LED indicator lights up in green.
Switching the subwoofer to standby mode•Rotate VOLUME anticlockwise until there is a click. y The LED indicator light turns red.
Volume adjustment•Install the subwoofer wherever you like because with the bass sound range reproduced from the subwoofer (below 150Hz) human hearing cannot detect the direction and position where the sound is being produced.
•Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass frequencies, a single subwoofer is enough for reproducing the bass of stereo channels.
•To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend that you place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur.
•Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping a few centimeters away from the wall.
•Do not place any 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, etc.
Important!
Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the preparation procedures. Switch on your receiver and select the sound source.
ConnectionsThe type plate is located on the rear of the subwoofer.
1Use the cinch cable supplied to connect AUDIO IN to SUBWOOFER
2Check whether the power voltage as shown on the type plate corresponds to your local power voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organization.
3After all connections have been made, connect the AC power cord to the receiver or the wall outlet.
To disconnect the subwoofer from the power completely, remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
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 receiver until the sound from the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the sound from the subwoofer will also be distorted.
2Play your favourite songs. Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are most suitable for adjustment.
3Adjust the VOLUME on the subwoofer to determine the loudness of the bass sound from the subwoofer.

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 may also change the expanse and tightness of sound, and affect the feeling of sound field.
•Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when listening in your usual listening position. Repeat the adjustment for volume and phase polarity to suit your preference.
Once you have adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you desire, use the VOLUME control on the receiver to adjust the volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers. You do not need to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when you change the volume level of the receiver.
