SV Sound

 

 

Sometimes, with very low listening levels, your subwoofer might not get enough of a bass signal from your AVR to ―trip‖ the Auto- On circuit. Should you ever find this to be the case you may leave this switch to ―On‖, or turn up the AVR’s subwoofer level some (be sure to recalibrate channels levels with your sound meter after- wards).

Crossover Feature Switches. If you allow your DD/DTS sur- round-sound receiver or processor to manage bass frequencies (again, highly recommended), this switch should be set to ―Disabled‖, eliminating the effects of the ―Crossover Frequency‖ knob and allowing your sub to reproduce just what is fed from the receiver. If you use the sub in a two channel (stereo only) con- figuration, then ―Enable‖ the crossover and adjust the knob to best blend the sub into the output of your speakers.

XLR and RCA Hi-Passfilters can be switched ―Off‖ if you desire to ―daisy chain‖ the output of one sub to the input of another without frequency response conflicts; or pass full-range audio signals to an outboard stereo amp/receiver.

Power. This heavy-duty two-position switch next to the power cord will completely cut the power to your sub amp. Flip this switch to off before you ever move the sub or change inputs or outputs. Do not plug this sub into receiver convenience power outlets. Allow five minutes of ―off‖ time before switching back ―on‖.

Fuse. User replaceable, contact your dealer if you have trouble finding one. The fuse can be accessed by a small door immedi- ately next to the power cord fitting

(where you should also find a spare one for your use).
