When you play a source, the power of the subwoofer turns
on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the
subwoofer. On the other hand, the subwoofer automatically
switches to the standby mode if the source being played is
stopped or the input signal is cut off for a few minutes.
This function operates by sensing a certain level of low
frequency input signal. Its sensitivity is high in the HIGH
position and low in the LOW position of the AUTO
STANDBY
switch. Set this switch to the position you prefer.
In the HIGH position, the power will turn on even with a low
level of input signal. But please be aware that the subwoofer
may not switch to the standby mode when there is an
extremely low input signal.

* The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise

from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO
STANDBY
switch to the OFF or LOW position.

* The level of low frequency input signal differs with each

source and among different parts within the same source.
This means that the function may not operate properly on
some sources.

* The level of low frequency input signal this function

senses is about 100 Hz.

This function is available only when the power of the
subwoofer is on (by setting the STANDBY/ON button to
“ON”).

PHASE switch

Normally this switch is to be set to the REV (reverse)
position. However, according to your speaker systems
or the listening condition, there may be a case when
better sound quality is obtained by setting this switch to
the NORM (normal) position. Select the better position
by monitoring the sound.

AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF) switch
