“Phase” - This screen is used to adjust the subwoofer’s acoustic
phase to match that of your main speakers. Use the Left/Right
cursor keys to adjust the subwoofer’s phase from 0° to 180°.
The proper setting of this control is highly dependant on room
acoustics and the position of your subwoofer in the room. After
setting the volume and low pass controls, adjust the phase to 0°
and listen to a recording with a prominent, repeating bass line in
your intended listening position. Repeat this process with the
180° setting and use the setting that yields the greatest amount
of bass output. If neither of these settings is better than the other
experiment with intermediate settings. From this screen press the
down or up cursor key to access other control settings.

matic room correction feature. Plug the supplied microphone into

ascending frequency of the test tone and a bar graph of the
sound level (loudness). The subwoofer will measure the room’s
acoustic effect and compensate for it. When the calibration
sequence is complete “Calibration Successful!” will be displayed.
If the subwoofer’s volume level is too low or the microphone was
either disconnected or improperly connected “Calibration
Unsuccessful” will be displayed. From this screen press the up
or down cursor key to access other control settings.
