Connecting your TS Subwoofer
Your TS Series subwoofer should be connected directly to your 5.1 or 6.1 decoder, AV
home cinema receiver or integrated DVD/decoder/amplifier as follows:.
Locate the RCA or Phono socket on your DVD equipment labelled ‘LFE OUT’,
‘SUB OUT’ or ‘SUBWOOFER OUTPUT’.
Using a single RCA to RCA (also called Phono to Phono) good quality screened
interconnect cable of suitable length, connect from the ‘LFE/SUB/SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT’ on your equipment to the ‘LFE/SUB’ input on the TS subwoofer.
Locate and connect the mains lead supplied to the TS subwoofer.
DO NOT CONNECT THE MAINS LEAD (POWER CORD) TO THE MAINS
POWER SUPPLY JUST YET.
SETTING UP TO LISTEN
Make sure the POWER switch on the TS subwoofer, adjacent to the mains inlet socket,
is in the OFF position. The switch is set to OFF when the rocker button adjacent to OFF
is pressed in. Set the subwoofer controls as follows:
Set the VOLUME control to MIN.
Set the PHASE control to 0ϒ.
Set the LFE Mode switch to ON.
The LFE switch bypasses the subwoofer internal crossover function. The crossover
frequency function is provided by the 5.1 or 6.1 decoder. If you wish to have manual
control of the subwoofer crossover frequency set this switch to OFF and operate the
CROSSOVER control between 50Hz and 150Hz. In this case set your speaker settings
within the decoder set up menu to LARGE. Otherwise set them to SMALL within the
decoder set up menu. Set your 5.1 receiver/decoder menu settings to SMALL
SPEAKERS, LFE or SUB output to ON, and play a favourite movie at normal volume
settings. Refer to the equipment manufacture’s instruction manual if you need
help in making these settings.
Connect the TS subwoofer to a convenient mains socket using the lead and
plug supplied.
Switch the TS subwoofer power switch (adjacent to the mains inlet) to ON by
pressing on the rocker switch adjacent to ON.
Slowly increase the subwoofer VOLUME control from Min to about half way
round.
Assess the bass signal strength and set the TS Subwoofer VOLUME control
accordingly.
The purpose of a subwoofer is to enhance the bass or low frequencies but not to overpower
the music or film dialogue. The set up can be checked by using the noise signal calibration
facility in most 5.1 and 6.1 receiver/decoders using the ‘set up’ or ‘test’ menu options.
Using this noise signal the TS Series subwoofer will produce a low frequency sound -
a little like a continuous distant thunderstorm. The sound level intensity from the subwoofer
should match that of the other speakers in your system as the signal is cycling through.
