CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM

ALWAYS MAKE AND CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS BEFORE PLUGGING THE SUBWOOFER INTO THE MAINS.

Connection may be made either at LINE level, using the phono connectors on the back of the unit, or using the nearby speaker HI LEVEL terminals, which require bare wire or 4mm speaker plugs.

FOR LINE LEVEL CONNECTION

For use with an AV receiver or DVD receiver, connect a screened phono cable from the receiver SUB output to either RIGHT or LEFT low level phono input on the rear of the subwoofer.

NOTE: FOR THIS MODE OF OPERATION, THE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL ON THE SUBWOOFER SHOULD BE INITIALLY SET TO ‘LFE’- YOUR AV RECEIVER OR DVD RECEIVER WILL DETERMINE THE EXACT CROSSOVER FREQUENCY, TYPICALLY 80HZ.

If you are using the subwoofer with a 2 channel or stereo system and your preamplifier has a spare set of outputs, connect left and right to the subwoofer L and R inputs using screened phono cables.

FOR SPEAKER LEVEL CONNECTION

If you wish to connect to a 2 channel or stereo system using your amplifier speaker outputs, proceed as follows. Using a length of speaker cable for each channel, wire your amplifier outputs to the subwoofer HIGH LEVEL terminals, ensuring that red (+) goes to red (+), and black (-) to black (-). Double check connections before switching on the subwoofer and your stereo amplifier.

CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS

With the exception of the main power switch, all control settings are accessed by the cursor keypad on the top of the subwoofer cabinet, next to the display.

After powering on, the stored settings are loaded, and the display shows the default screen, stating product name.

There are two specific menus in terms of operation:

USER- this gives access to commonly needed settings

SETUP- this gains access to more advanced settings and adjustments

USER Controls

There are two functions available:

VOLUME- pressing any button gains access to this function. The LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons are used to decrease or increase volume respectively. After five minutes of no activity, the default screen is again shown.

PRESET- from the VOLUME menu, press either UP or DOWN buttons. There are three options of either AUDIO, VIDEO or NIGHT mode. These can be selected using either the LEFT or RIGHT buttons. Return to the VOLUME menu using either the UP or DOWN buttons.

AUDIO: This gives the flattest and most extended frequency response, ideal for the accurate reproduction of music.

VIDEO: This gives boost to certain low frequencies, to give enhancement to movie special effects.

NIGHT: This reduces both the output level and bass extension of the subwoofer, to avoid disturbance of those nearby.
