Presetting the Volume
You need to preset the volume level of this speaker (SP-
PW1000) to match those of the main speakers (SP-
FSSD1000). Once you preset the volume level, it is stored

the Center Unit (CA-FSSD1000) changes.

Adding the Richness to the Bass (PHASE)
If you want to add the richness more to the bass, press the
PHASE button to set it either in the “
_ REVERSE” position
or the “ — NORMAL” position, whichever can add the rich-
ness to the bass.
Normally, the PHASE button should be set in the “
— NOR-
MAL” position.
Automatic Operating Status On/Off
To save energy, the Subwoofer enters the Standby mode if
no (or very weak) sound signals come into the Subwoofer
for about 5 minutes. In Standby mode, the STANDBY/ON
indicator of the Subwoofer lights in red.
When sound signals come in again, the Subwoofer enters
the Operating mode and reproduces the sounds. The
STANDBY/ON indicator will light in green again.
