  • Step 1: Unpack Box
    • 1. Unpack the system using caution when lifting and moving to avoid injury.
    • 2. Save the carton and packing materials for future use.
    • 3. Record the serial number in the space provided on page 28.
    • 4. Make sure you have all the items shown in Figure 1. If any items are missing or damaged, contact the retailer where you purchased this subwoofer.
    • 5. Make sure you also have an RCA-to-RCA (male-male) cable, so you can connect the transmitter to your audio system.
  • Step 2: Set Up WiConnect System Transmitter
    • 1. Do one of the following to connect the transmitter to your audio receiver.
    • 2. Plug the power adapter into the back of the transmitter. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
    • 3. Make sure the CHANNEL setting on the transmitter matches the CHANNEL setting on the back of the subwoofer. For example, choose CHANNEL 2 in both places. You have four channels to choose from.
  • Step 3: Mount WiConnect System Transmitter to Wall (Optional)
    • 1. Use the template below to mark the mounting locations on the wall.
    • 2. Mark the two screw locations for either the horizontal or vertical mounting orientation.
    • 3. Hand turn each of the included self-tapping wood screws into each marked location. Tighten the screws until about 1/8” (3.17mm) of the screw shank is exposed.
    • 4. Hook two of the slotted holes on back of the transmitter onto the two screws.

    • 4. Place the mic in your preferred listening position.
    • 5. On the remote, press EQ for about 2-3 seconds. The subwoofer emits sweep tones that span frequencies between 20 and 150 Hz. While making the frequency sweeps, the LED displays “AU” and the system adjusts fixed-frequency graphic EQ filters for ...
    • 6. To prevent accidentally activating Auto-EQ, remove the mic from the Mic jack.
  • Step 7: Set the Phase
    • 1. While listening to music, press each of the four PHASE buttons on the remote control. The phase setting shows on the LED as “PH” followed by the phase number: 0, 90, 180 or 270.
    • 2. Listen to the mid-bass transition for a few moments, and then press the next PHASE button.
    • 3. Select the PHASE button that provides the smoothest transition between the subwoofer and the satellite speakers, without peaks or dips. If the settings sound similar, use the “0” position.
