RECORD YOUR MODEL NUMBER (NOW, WHILE YOU CAN SEE IT)
The model and serial number are located on the back of the cabinet. For your future
convenience, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

II. QUICK START
a. Attach the supplied adhesive backed bumpers near the corners of the speaker’s
bottom surface to protect the finish of speakers and furnishings.
b. Position D20 speakers as symmetrically as possible, at a comfortable distance from
your seating position—slightly closer to each other than they are to you.
Ideal Speaker Placement: 2.1 One of possible subwoofer locations
c. Using standard two-conductor (18 gauge/1.0mm dia) speaker wire or better, connect
the Red (positive) binding post of each speaker to the Red speaker connector of your
Bluesound Powernode. Similarly, connect the Black (negative) binding post on each
speaker to the Black speaker connector of your Bluesound Powernode. Be sure to
follow color-coding to make sure that your speakers are “in phase” for smoothest
sound with deepest bass.
d. The loudest bass output from a subwoofer will come from corner placement. As
you position the subwoofer outward from the corner along one wall or another, bass
output diminishes somewhat, it also becomes more uniform throughout the room,
with fewer of the “standing waves” that produce peaks and nulls at various points.
Select the AC Power Cord appropriate for your region and plug it into the subwoofer,
and then into your wall outlet. Using a subwoofer cable (not supplied) plug one
end into either of the Low Level Inputs of the D10 Subwoofer. Plug the other end of
the subwoofer cable into the subwoofer output of the Bluesound Powernode. Set
the subwoofer’s crossover control to the 12 o’clock position, set the phase switch to
0° and volume control to the 12 o’clock position. Flip the Power Switch to the on
position.
e. Ensure that the Bluesound Powernode is configured for the D30 Sub/Sat System
by opening the Bluesound App on your control device and selecting the Powernode
(right-hand Slide-out Menu Drawer). Once selected, navigate to “Control Panel/
Speaker setup” (using Navigation Menu Drawer) and select Bluesound D30.
III. TROUBLESHOOTING
a. If a speaker begins to sound distorted, or seems to be missing certain frequencies,
check first to see whether playing at a lower volume seems to clear up the problem.
It can be especially important to turn down the volume right away if you have
pushed an amplifier or receiver past its comfortable limits.
b. Determine if the problem is the speakers, the Bluesound Powernode, or the
wire connections. If a problem on one speaker doesn’t go away, interchange the
speaker wire connections on your Bluesound Powernode, so that the left speaker
is connected to the right channel, and vice versa. If the problem shifts to the other
speaker, the problem is not in the speaker (Another component-or, very often, a
cable or connection problem between components-may be at fault.) If the problem
stays in the same speaker, swap the speaker cables next. If the problem remains
in the same speaker, irrespective of the channel to which it’s connected and the
connecting wire used, the speaker itself probably needs service.
