Open the carton and remove all the top packing pieces. Lift
the subwoofer out carefully. DO NOT lift the subwoofer out of
the carton using the protective bag. The unit is heavy; if you
cannot manage it easily, get assistance.
Retain the packing materials. If you decide not to keep the
packing, please dispose of it having regard to any recycling
regulations in your area. Please retain the user manual. If you
transfer this equipment to a third party, please ensure all the
instructions are passed on with the product.
The subwoofer is factory set to operate from the mains voltage
marked on the amplifier panel. Before connecting check this
voltage is correct for your mains supply.
230 volt products - 220 V to 240 V
115 volt products - 110 Vs to 120 V
If you move to an area with a different mains supply, consult
your dealer for advice.

*DO NOT change the operating voltage of this product
without seeking expert advice first.
Carefully invert the subwoofer. Protect the top
surface from scratches or damage when the
subwoofer is inverted.
The subwoofer has four spikes. Prepare the
spikes as shown and screw one spike into the
threads on the base of teach subwoofer foot.
Set the subwoofer upright taking care not to
cause damage.
Adjust the spikes in and out until the subwoofer
is firm andlevel. Use a spirit levelto assist you.
Now tighten thenuts securely.
When moving speakers, do not let the spikes pierce objects
which may beconcealed under a carpet.

Set the subwoofer power switch to OFF.
Turn the system Volume Control to minimum.
Re-check all system connections.
Connect the supplied power lead to the IEC power socket on the subwoofer and connect the mains plug into the wall socket.
Set the subwoofer volume control midway (12 o'clock)
Switch on the mains power.
Switch on the subwoofer power switch. Check that the power indicator on the amplifier panel glows. Now switch on the system.
Play a programme with extended bass and set the system volume to a reasonable level. Adjust the subwoofer volume control to
produce the desired level of bass.
If the bass is indistinct or lacks depth, the Phase switch may need adjustment. Set the switch to 0º and listen
carefully to some music with extended bass. If there is insufficient bass output from the sub-woofer set the Phase switch to 180º.
Select the position which produces the most natural, extended bass.
This adjusts the blend between the subwoofer and the main speakers. and enables the
system to be set up for optimum bass performance. The higher settings are for use with bookshelf loudspeakers, the lower
settings for large floorstanding models. If you choose too low a setting with small speakers, there will be a ‘hole’ in the bass
response; too high a setting with large speakers will result in the upper bass becoming bloated.
In normal mode the subwoofer is permanently on. This may result in low level hum or noise if the rest of the system is switched off
and the subwoofer is left switched on. Setting the AUTO switch to ON automatically turns the subwoofer on when a signal is
detected at any of the inputs and turns it off (Standby Mode) after a period of inactivity. We recommend the AUTO switch be set to
ON for normal operation.
In AUTO mode the indicator on the front of the subwoofer will glow RED when the unit is in Standby and GREEN when operational.
If your subwoofer is disconnected from the mains or the Power switch is “Off”, the indicator will be extinguished.
When the system is not in use for extended periods, we suggest you switch off the subwoofer to protect it from switching noises.

Once the loudspeaker settings have been finalised, put the AV amplifier into its “Test” mode. Adjust the levels until all channels are
equally loud. You may need to adjust the subwoofer output level. Avoid setting too high a level which may limit the subwoofer’s
ability to respond to large bass transients. Set a sensible level going into the subwoofer. The subwoofer volume control should be
between 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock .

Many digital AV processors require you to specify the size of speakers in the various channels. These are
usually ‘Large’ or ‘Small’. We recommend that you set the centre and surround speakers to 'Small'. This will direct all the bass in the
system to the subwoofer and provide clean, deep and louder bass. Set the ‘Subwoofer’ option on the processor to 'On’ or 'Yes'.
Set large floorstanding loudspeakers to ‘large’. Smaller floorstanding
loudspeakers may be optionally set to ‘small’. In this case the subwoofer
crossover setting should be 55Hz. If you find the bass excessive, set the
loudspeaker to ‘large’.
Set bookshelf and stand mounted loudspeakers to ‘small’. If you are using a
digital AV processor the subwoofer crossover setting should be 85Hz.
If all the speakers are set to ‘Small’, the LFE channel will be combined with the bass from other channels and all this feeds into
the subwoofer. When you set the LFE level from your AV processor, use care as the LFE channel may contain powerful low
frequencies which may overload a domestic subwoofer. If, during a programme, you hear popping or thumping noises coming
from the subwoofer, immediately turn the AV Processor's volume level down and then back off the LFE level. If this does not cure
the problem, back off the volume level at the subwoofer.
