PHASE: Compensates for havingsubwoofer and main speakersin
different locations. Ideally,subwoofer sound should reachthe
listening position at the sametime assound from the main speakers.
However, if thedistance from the listening position to the
subwoofer, and fromthe listeningposition to the main speakers
differ, the sound fromeachwill reach your earsat different times.
The PHASE controldelays the signal 180 degrees,so the subwoofer
output will blend with that oftbe main speakers. Slidethe PHASE
switch to "180." At the listeningposition, listen to the midbass
output. If itsounds weak,set PHASE back to "0."
