CONNECTING THE WIRELESS SUBWOOFER

AND TRANSMITTER

The PSWi-8Mtransmitter and subwoofer come from the factory configured to work together. If the subwoofer stops receiving an audio signal, follow these instructions to re-establish the connection.

1.Turn off the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch.

2.Press and hold the SYNC button on the transmitter for three (3) seconds.

3.The status light on the transmitter will blink very quickly, indicating that the subwoofer and transmitter are ready to be connected.

4.Turn on the subwoofer’sAC Mains switch. When the subwoofer’sLED shines solid green, the subwoofer and the transmitter are connected and ready to use.

ADJUSTING YOUR SUBWOOFER

Note: When you set up your subwoofer for the first time, you will probably have to make some adjustments before you hear what you personally like.

FINE TUNING YOUR SUBWOOFER

Volume: Adjust by ear using a wide variety of CDs and video sources. Adjust for deep, powerful bass without “boominess”until the voice sounds natural.

Phase Switch: Playing music and sitting in your listening position, carefully listen for the point at which the subwoofer transitions to your main speakers. This is the crossover point, and this point should be below the frequency of a male human voice. Whichever phase setting sounds louder or fuller at the subwoofer’s crossover point

is the optimum setting. Sometimes no difference will be heard.
