approximately 10 minutes when no signal is detected from your

about halfway.If no sound emanates from
the subwoofer,check the AC-line cord and input cables. Are the
connectors on the cables making proper contact? Is the AC
plug connected to a “live”receptacle? Has the Power Switch
∞
been pressed to the “On”position? Once you have confirmed that
the subwoofer is active, proceed by playing a CD, record or
cassette. Use a selection that has ample bass information.
Set the overall volume control of the preamplifier or stereo to a
comfortable level. Adjust the Subwoofer Level (Volume) Control
¡
until you obtain a pleasing blend of bass. Bass response should
not o
verpower the room but rather should be adjusted so there
is a har
monious blend acr
oss the entire musical range. Many
users have a tendency to set the subwoofer volume too loud,
adher
ing to the belief that a sub
woof
er is ther
e to pr
oduce lots
of bass
.
T
his is not entir
ely tr
ue.A subwoofer is there to enhance
bass
,
extending the response of the entire system so the bass
can be felt as well as heard. However, overall balance must
be maintained or the music will not sound natural. An
e
xper
ienced listener will set the
v
olume of the subwoof
er so
its impact on bass r
esponse is alw
ays there but never obtrusive.

Cr
ossover Frequency is set by the processor/receiver. Consult

Phase Control
The Phase Switch ¢ determines whether the subwoofer
speaker’s piston-like action moves in and out with the main
speakers, 0,˚or opposite the main speakers, 180˚. Proper phase
adjustment depends on several variables such as room size,
subwoofer placement and listener position.Adjust the phase
switch to maximize bass output at the listening position.
