Warning Information 9.
See warning information on page 3
Mains Power Switch 10.
The Mains Power Switch should be switched to the ‘Off’ position when the AW-12 will not be used for
extended periods. The switch must be in the ‘On’ position for the subwoofer to function.
WARNING: Due to the mains switch being located on the rear panel, the apparatus must be located in the
open area with no obstructions to access the mains switch.
IEC Mains Power Connector/ Fuse Location 11.
The AW-12 is supplied with a two-pin mains input socket for connection to the mains supply. Use ONLY the
appropriate IEC mains lead provided with the product. Also fitted is an external mains fuse. If a fuse blows
during operation a spare fuse is provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish to change the
fuse, you can do this by removing the IEC mains lead and carefully levering out the original fuse from its
holder below the IEC mains input socket (11a). If the fuse blows again it is advisable to seek help from an
authorised service agent. DO NOT attempt to re-fit a further fuse as this could result in serious damage to
the amplifier unit.
Volume Control 12.
This control allows the level or volume to be adjusted in order to achieve a balanced overall sound. To
use this facility you will need to play a selection of familiar music or film excerpts. Start with the volume at
minimum and increase the level control until a balanced sound is established. If using an AV processor or AV
receiver amplifier, the system can adjusted by the test tone function within the set-up features. (Refer to the
set up section in the AV processor or AV receiver amplifier user guide.) When the AW-12 is correctly set-up,
you should not be able to identify its location easily in the room.
EQ 1 setting 13.
The EQ 1 setting should be set as a default option. This will provide the best overall transient response and
power output. This setting will provide a maximally flat response suitable for music or music video. Note:
Frequency roll off starts at 27Hz.
EQ 2 setting 14.
The EQ 2 setting should be used when an emphasis in the low frequency is required. An additional boost of
4dB will be provided at 21Hz to give impact essential for action movies.
You can toggle between the EQ1 and EQ2 to test which one is best suited to your environment. This is done
by pressing the buttons located on the control panel.
The blue LED’s of the EQ buttons will remain on permanently. This indicates that the unit is in stand by mode
when not in use.
