control clockwise, a little at a time, until you achieve a pleasing balance of bass between the subwoofer and the main speakers (and satellite speakers, if used). Bass output should not overpower the main speakers, but should blend across the entire musical range.

Once you have adjusted the subwoofer’s volume control, use the amplifier/ receiver’s volume control to control the speakers’ volume.

ADJUSTING THE HIGH CUT FREQUENCY

FREQUENCY HZ (on the back of the subwoofer) adjusts the level (between 50 Hz and 200 Hz) at which the subwoofer begins passing frequencies to other speakers. This control’s setting depends on the low frequency capabilities of your satellite speakers (if used), speaker placement, and other factors that affect bass performance.

To adjust the high cut frequency, first rotate FREQUENCY HZ clockwise until the music sounds too bass-heavy. Then rotate it counterclockwise until the bass sounds more natural.

If the mid-bass sounds natural but you want more low bass, rotate FREQUENCY HZ counterclockwise a little, then rotate the subwoofer’s volume control clockwise by about the same amount. This increases low-bass output without affecting the mid- bass output.

To reduce low-bass output without affecting the mid-bass output, equally rotate FREQUENCY HZ clockwise and the subwoofer’s volume control counterclockwise.

Note: Set FREQUENCY HZ to 200 Hz when using the subwoofer with mini home theater speakers.
