• Before operation of main unit, first set the active subwoofer as desired for optimum performance.

ENGLISH

The SIGNAL IN indicator lights up in amber.

This means that the subwoofer is not disconnected from the AC mains and a small amount of current is retained to support the operation readiness.

To switch the power off, push the POWER switch again. Then power is cut off and the SIGNAL IN indicator goes off.

 

In the standby mode, set the SIGNAL switch

2

to the desired power-operation mode.

If the AUTO mode is set to, you need not turn the subwoofer off cumbersomely after every use.

While playing any source at the desired listening level on the main unit, adjust the

3 volume balance between this subwoofer and your front speakers.

VOLUME

MIN MAX

 

Adjust the crossover frequency according to

4

your front speaker’s frequency characteristics.

Depending on the selected mode the subwoofer is turned on or off as follows :

*ON: The subwoofer is turned on and enters the operating mode.

*AUTO: Only when the signal is being input, it is automatically turned on to enter the operating mode.

If the signal is not input for more than 10 minutes, it will be automatically turned off to enter the standby mode.

*OFF: The subwoofer is turned off and enters the standby mode.

Notes :

Extreme high volume setting may damage your subwoofer.

Once the volume balance between this subwoofer and your front speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the volume of your whole speaker systems by using only the main unit’s volume control.

In case of combination of this subwoofer with the supplied front speakers, because the frequency range of the front speakers is 140Hz~20kHz, adjust the crossover frequency to 140Hz or slightly higher.

*The crossover frequency adjustment determines the highest frequency your subwoofer will reproduce. It allows a seamless transition from subwoofer to front speakers.

Set the PHASE switch to the position (0˚ or 180˚)where the optimum bass effect can be

5 obtained.

Normally the PHASE switch is to be set to the “0˚” (normal)position. However, according to your speaker systems or the listening condition, there may be a cause when better sound quality is obtained by setting this switch to the “180˚”(reverse) position. Select the better position by monitoring the sound.
