Subwoofer Phase Switch
When the subwoofer is properly in phase with the soundbar speakers, the sound will be
clearer and have more impact. In-phase performance will make percussive sounds like
drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. Although there is no absolutely
correct setting for the subwoofer’s Phase switch, in most cases it should be left in the
“Normal” position. The best way to set the Phase switch is to listen to music that you
are familiar with and adjust the switch so that drums and other percussive sounds have
maximum impact.

For the best sound, we recommend turning your TV’s built-in speakers off. Consult your
TV’s owner’s manual to find out how to do it. If there is no way to turn your TV’s speakers
off, you can adjust your TV’s volume so that the SB 30 system will always supply most
of the sound:
1. Using the volume buttons on your TV, turn its volume all the way down.
2. Then use the soundbar’s Volume Up/Down buttons to set the sound to a comfortable
listening level.
