3. While playing a favorite music track, adjust your system’s volume control to a
comfortable level and listen to the bass level at your favorite listening position (e.g.,
couch). Next, move the LEVEL SETUP switch to MOVIE and play a favorite movie
chapter. Listen to the bass level, and, if desired, adjust the MOVIE LEVEL control to
change the movie bass level to taste.
4. Move the LEVEL SETUP switch back to MUSIC and play the music track again. If
desired, adjust the MUSIC LEVEL control to taste.
5. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the appropriate
setting for LEVEL SETUP. If you want a more solid-sounding bass (with less
overtones), try moving the LOW PASS FREQUENCY control toward the lower
frequencies. Experiment with different frequency settings until you find one that
sounds best. If needed, readjust the MOVIE LEVEL and MUSIC LEVEL controls (see
steps 3 and 4 above).
6. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the appropriate
setting for LEVEL SETUP. Try experimenting with the PHASE control until you find its
optimum setting. Depending on the Pro15SW’s placement, the bass should sound
more pronounced when the phase has been optimized.
CHECKING PHASE ON THE SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKERS
Loudspeaker wire has two conductors. On applications with satellite loudspeakers,
one conductor is attached to a component’s negative (–) terminal, while the other is
attached to a component’s positive (+) terminal. Usually, the wire is marked for your
convenience, but the marking can be done in the following different ways:
Stripe on one wire
Ribbed area you can feel on one conductor
Different colors of metal wire on each conductor
Fabric strand or string wound into one of the conductors
