AC POWER CONNECTION AND AUTO ON/OFF

Off/Auto/On Switch

Your PSWi225 Subwoofer uses a 3-position power switch, which selects your subwoofer’s operational mode. The three modes are: Off, Auto and On.

Off

With the switch in this position, the subwoofer is inactive.

Auto

In the “Auto” position, your subwoofer automatically turns on when it senses

an audio signal and the LED located on the back of the subwoofer will turn green.

We recommend the “Auto” mode if your subwoofer is always receiving power (i.e., if it’s plugged into a wall outlet). When no signal is present, the subwoofer will enter a “waiting” state after 15 minutes and the LED will turn red.

On

The subwoofer is always on and fully active in this mode. The LED on the back of the subwoofer will be green. This mode is best if the subwoofer is plugged into a switched power outlet.

Note: You may want to leave your subwoofer unplugged during extended periods of non use, such as during a vacation.
