CONNECTING THE WIRELESS SUBWOOFER
AND TRANSMITTER
The PSWi-8 M transmitter and subwoofer come from the factory
configured to work together. If the subwoofer stops receiving an
audio signal, follow these instructions to re-establish the connection.
1. Turn off the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch.
2. Press and hold the SYNC button on the transmitter for three (3) seconds.
3. The status light on the transmitter will blink very quickly, indicating that the
subwoofer and transmitter are ready to be connected.
4. Turn on the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch. When the subwoofer’s LED shines
solid green, the subwoofer and the transmitter are connected and ready to use.

ADJUSTING YOUR SUBWOOFER
Note: When you set up your subwoofer for the first time, you will probably
have to make some adjustments before you hear what you personally like.
FINE TUNING YOUR SUBWOOFER
• Volume: Adjust by ear using a wide variety of CDs and video sources.
Adjust for deep, powerful bass without “boominess”until the voice
sounds natural.
• Phase Switch: Playing music and sitting in your listening position,
carefully listen for the point at which the subwoofer transitions to
your main speakers. This is the crossover point, and this point should
be below the frequency of a male human voice. Whichever phase
setting sounds louder or fuller at the subwoofer’s crossover point
is the optimum setting. Sometimes no difference will be heard.
