© PHASE switch
The phase relation between the subwoofer and front speak­
ers varies according to the the distances, and the subwoofers
setup location. Set the phase switch to NOR. (normal phase)
or REV (reversed phase) so as to get the best bass sound at
the location at which you normally listen.
(g) CROSSOVER knob
Adjust as necessary for optimal volume of the subwoofer
and frequency balance of speakers.
(3) VOLUME knob
Use this dial to adjust the volume of the subwoofer and
speakers.
® LINE INPUT (R . L/MONO) terminal
Use to connect to the corresponding SUBWOOFER PRE-
OUT jacks on your receiver. If your receiver has only one
SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT jack, make the connection using the
L/MONO jack.
® LINE OUTPUT (R . L) terminal
These jacks relay the signals received at the corresponding
LINE INPUT jacks.
® Speaker Input/Output Terminals
Use to connect to the corresponding FRONT SPEAKERS
jacks on your receiver. Connect the FROM AMPLIFIER ter­
minals to the front-speaker output terminals on your re­
ceiver.
Use to connect to the front speakers.
The TO SPEAKERS terminals relay the signals received at
the corresponding FRONT AMPLIFIER terminals.
© POWER switch
Switches the power ON and OFF.
STANDBY/ON indicator
Comes on to indicate that power is being supplied. Lights up
GREEN during normal operation; lights up RED if the
subwoofer has been switched into standby mode by the
AUTO SHUTOFF feature.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode (while the STANDBY indicator is lit
RED), a small amount of current continues to flow into
the unit's internal circuitry so that memory and logic re­
main active.
The indicator goes off if power is off (if the POWER switch is at
the OFF position, or if the subwoofer is not plugged in).
AUTO SHUTOFF switch
Use this switch to set the automatic shutoff feature ON or
OFF. If you set this ON, the subwoofer will automatically
enter standby mode if it does not receive a signal from the
receiver for a period of 30 minutes. The subwoofer will auto­
matically resume normal power when output from the re­
ceiver resumes.
Power cord
Connect to an AC power outlet.
0 Duct
Extends the low-frequency output.

Caution concerning operation:---------------------
Be careful to keep the input level to the subwoofer within
reasonable
limits. Overloading the input will distort the
sound quality and may damage the subwoofer. Please ob­
serve the following precautions.
1. If supplying a high-volume signal, do not over-boost the
bass at the receiver side. (Avoid excessive use of the
receiver's bass control or other tone adjusters.)
2. Turn the subwoofer volume to its minimum level when mak­
ing major changes to the sound input (for example, when
first switching on the amplifier or when first dropping the
needle onto a vinyl record).
