phase setting
Use the VOLUME knob and PHASE button at the rear of the pow-
ered sub-woofer.
Volume control
Turn the VOLUME knob.
Adjust to a volume appropriate for balance with the other speak-
er(s).
The mark indicates the volume position in normal use.
• Adjust when the volume from the sub-woofer is too high or too
low in relation to the volume from the front speaker.
Phase setting
Play sound through the sub-woofer and adjust the PHASE button
to a position (_ REVERSE or — NORMAL) at which the lowest
frequency is heard best.
