7POWER switch

Normally, set this switch to the ON position to use the subwoofer. In this state, you can turn on the subwoofer

or turn the subwoofer into the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/ON (2) button. Set this switch to the OFF position to completely cut off the subwoofer’s power supply from the AC line.

8INPUT terminals

Used to input line level signals from the amplifier. (Refer to “CONNECTIONS” for details.)

9AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF) switch

This switch is originally set to the OFF position. By setting this switch to the HIGH or LOW position, the subwoofer’s automatic power-switching function operates as described below. If you do not need this function, leave this switch in the OFF position.

*Make sure to change the setting of this switch only

when the subwoofer is set in the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/ON (2) button.

0PHASE switch

Normally this switch is to be set to the REV (reverse) position. However, according to the listening condition or your preference, there may be a case when better sound quality is obtained by setting this switch to the NORM (normal) position. Select the better position by monitoring the sound.

Automatic power-switching function

If the source being played is stopped and the input signal is cut off for 7 to 8 minutes, the subwoofer automatically switches to the standby mode. (When the subwoofer switches to the standby mode by the automatic power- switching function, the power indicator lights up in red.) When you play a source again, the power of the subwoofer turns on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the subwoofer.

This function operates by sensing a certain level of low frequency input signal. Usually set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the LOW position. However, if this function does not operate smoothly, set the switch to the HIGH position. In the HIGH position, the power will turn on even with a low level of input signal. But please be aware that the subwoofer may not switch to the standby mode when there is an extremely low input signal.

*The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the OFF position and use the STANDBY/ON button to switch the power between on and in the standby mode manually.

*This function detects the low-frequency components below 200 Hz of the input signals (i.e., the explosion in the action movie, the sound of the bass guitar or the bass drum, etc.).

*The minutes required to switch the subwoofer to the standby mode might change by sensing noise from other appliances.

This function is available only when the power of the subwoofer is on (by pressing the STANDBY/ON button).
