subwoofer using the following steps:
Note: When using an AV receiver and the LFE input, set the subwoofer calibration level to the factory setting before performing the
following procedure. After making the below adjustments, calibrate the system via the AV receiver’s setup procedure.
1. Ensure that the subwoofer is plugged in.
2. Set the following controls and switches to positions that will enable tuning for maximum performance.
a. VOLUME knob set to 50%, or 12 o’clock
b. CROSSOVER knob set to 120 Hz or 5 o’clock
c. PHASE switch set to 0º
During initial setup, it may be helpful to set the MODE switch to the ‘ON’ position. Once calibration is complete, switch it to ‘AUTO’
to enable the automatic power-saving mode.
3. Play a movie scene or music track and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from your favorite
listening position. Adjust the VOLUME control as desired.
4. If deeper bass is desired, adjust the CROSSOVER control toward the lower frequencies. Experiment with different frequency
settings until you find one that sounds best.
NOTE: When using the LFE input, set to LFE and make any crossover adjustments in the preamplifier or receiver crossover
settings.
5. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the settings chosen for volume and crossover.
Now, try experimenting with the PHASE switch until you find the best setting for the installation. Depending on your subwoofer’s
placement, the bass may sound louder or deeper when the phase has been optimized. In some cases, adjusting phase will make
no discernible difference.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE GRILLS
To remove the grills, gently pull the tabs on the outer edge of the grill frame to separate the grill from the baffle of the subwoofer. To
install the grill, start in one top corner and gently press the grill frame in around the front baffle, pushing it in at each of the remaining
three recessed holes.
CLEANING
Use a soft cloth or paper towel to clean the cabinet. The grill is best cleaned by brushing it off with a lint-free cloth.
