To achieve natural sound with an effective super-bass

component, you must adjust the volume and tone balance

between the subwoofer and the front speakers. Follow the

procedure described below.

1. Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).

2. Turn on the power to the component(s) connected to

the subwoofer.

If the component is connected to the subwoofer’s

SYSTEM CONNECTOR jack, turn on the power to

that component.

3. Set the POWER switch on the subwoofer to ON.

* The indicator lights green.

4. Play a source that contains low-frequency components

and adjust the output level of the front speakers using

the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening

level. (Set all tone controls to flat.)

5. Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where the

desired response can be obtained.

Normally, set the control to a level a little higher than

the front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible

frequency*.

* The front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible frequency can

be looked up in the speakers’ catalog or owner’s manual.

* The HIGH CUT control has no effect on signals input to the

INPUT 3 LFE terminals.

6. Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume

balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers.

Normally, set the control to a level where you can

obtain a little more bass effect than when the subwoofer

is not used.

7. Set the PHASE switch to the position which yields the

more natural (or preferable) phasing.

8. Set the B.A.S.S. switch to “MOVIE” or “MUSIC”

according to the played source.

MOVIE:

When a movie type source is played, the low-frequency

effects are enhanced to allow listeners to enjoy a more

powerful sound. (The sound will be richer and deeper.)

MUSIC:

When an ordinary music source is played, the excessive

low-frequency components are cut off to make the

sound clearer. (The sound will carry less bass and

reproduce the melody line more clearly.)

Note

Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and the front

speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the volume of your entire

sound system by using the amplifier’s volume control.

However, if you replace the front speakers, you will need to

make this adjustment again.

PHASE switch

In most situations, set this switch to select the

reverse mode. However, depending on your speaker

systems or listening condition, there may be a case

when better sound quality is obtained by selecting

the normal mode. Select the better mode by

monitoring the sound.
