the ON position to use the
subwoofer. When your receiver
or amplifier is off, or is not

the subwoofer, the subwoofer
will be in standby mode. When
the subwoofer senses an audio
signal, it will automatically turn
itself on. If the subwoofer does
not sense a signal after
approximately twenty minutes,
it will automatically go into
standby mode. If you will be
away from home for an
extended period of time, or if
the subwoofer will not be used,

PHASE
The Phase Control
™
determines
whether the subwoofer’s piston-
like action moves in and out in
phase with the main speakers or
opposite the main speakers. This is
adjusted by pressing the button to
the 0°, or 180° position. The 0°
position of the phase button plays
the bass signal in phase with the
main speakers. The 180° position
plays the bass signal 180º, or out of
phase with the main speakers.
Proper phase adjustment depends
on several variables such as
subwoofer placement and listener
position. Adjust the phase switch to
optimize bass output at the
listening position.
Every system, room and listener is
different. There are no right or
wrong settings. This switch offers
the added flexibility to adjust your
subwoofer for optimum
performance for your specific
listening conditions without having
to move your speakers. If at some
time in the future you happen to
rearrange your listening room, and
move your speakers, you should
experiment with the phase switch
in both positions, and leave it in the
position that optimizes bass
performance for your taste.
