Caution!
Turn off your subwoofer before making any
connections.
“LINE IN”
-Accept signals from the Left and Right channel
pre-amp, subwoofer or LFE outputs of your electronics. Connect
to the “RIGHT” and/or “LEFT/LFE” inputs on the subwoofer’s rear
panel (Refer to figure 3).
Connections and Controls
All of the subwoofer’s controls, and changes to control settings,
are accessed through the cursor key pad and display on the top
of the subwoofer’s cabinet. The only exception to this is the main
AC power switch which is located on the rear panel of the
subwoofer.
Controls
• Use the p (UP) or q (Down) key to scroll through the
list of control options.
• Use the t (Left) or u (Right) Key to make adjustments to a
given control setting.
• Use the Enter Key when the “
8 ” appears on the display to
store and recall custom settings or to lock the keypad.
• After adjusting the individual control parameters for “Volume”,
“EQ Mode”, “Low-pass filter” and “Phase”, your settings can
be stored in one of three user memories (“Movie”, “Music”
and “Night”). This allows for global recall of all of the above
settings to tailor the subwoofer’s performance to compensate
for differing source material and uses.
• The display will return to the “Volume” screen after 10
seconds if no adjustments are made while in any other control
or display mode.
• In periods of low humidity, it is possible that a static electricity
discharge to the subwoofer may cause a momentary interruption
in the subwoofers output or changes to the LCD display content.
Any display content errors will be corrected when the screen
changes modes.
“Volume”
- Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the
subwoofer’s volume level to match the output of your main
speakers. The volume control on your system’s main amplifier
or pre-amplifier will be the overall volume control for your
subwoofer and full range speakers. Press and hold (or press and
release) the Left cursor key to decrease the subwoofer’s volume.
Press and hold (or press and release) the Right cursor key to
increase the subwoofer’s volume to the desired level. From this
screen press the down cursor key to access other control settings.
“Recall Settings:”
- This screen is used to select any one of three,
user defined, memory presets titled “Movie”, “Music” and “Night”.
Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired group of stored
control settings and press the enter key to apply them. “Settings
Recalled!” will then be displayed. All of the user settings, in the
three memory presets, can be erased and restored to their default
values by scrolling down to the last “System Info” screen. Press the
Right cursor key twice to get to the “System Reset” screen. Press
the center cursor key and all user settings will be replaced with the
default settings. “Reset Complete” will be displayed. During initial
setup, skip this screen until all other initial control adjustments
have been made. From this screen press the down or up cursor key
to access other control settings.
“EQ Mode:”
- This screen is used to select two different Bass
emphasis settings, titled “Punch” and “Depth”. They are designed
to complement different types of program material, such as movie
soundtracks or music. The “Punch” setting emphasizes the 60Hz
region while the “Depth” setting boosts the 30Hz range. A third
setting is titled “Flat” which defeats these two settings. Use of
either of these EQ settings will slightly reduce the subwoofer’s
maximum output capability as they will require more of the
subwoofer’s amplifier power. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to
select the desired EQ setting. From this screen press the down or
up cursor key to access other control settings.
“Lowpass”
- This screen is used to adjust the subwoofer’s upper
frequency limit to achieve a proper blend with your system’s main
speakers. A higher frequency (Hz) is typically used with smaller,
bass limited main speakers and a lower frequency setting is
customarily used with larger floorstanding models. This filter can
be adjusted from 40Hz to 120Hz, as required, or defeated if the
low pass filter function is being performed by your system’s
electronics. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the lowpass
filter. To defeat this filter press and hold the Right cursor key until
“Lowpass OFF LFE Mode” is displayed. Refer to your surround
processor’s owner’s manual for more Bass Management
information. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to
access other control settings.
“Phase”
- This screen is used to adjust the subwoofer’s acoustic
phase to match that of your main speakers. Use the Left/Right
cursor keys to adjust the subwoofer’s phase from 0° to 180°. The
proper setting of this control is highly dependant on room acoustics
and the position of your subwoofer in the room. After setting the
volume and lowpass controls set the phase to 0Ż and listen to a
recording with a prominent, repeating bass line in your intended
listening position. Repeat this process with the 180° setting and
use the setting that yields the greatest amount of bass output. If
neither of these settings is better than the other experiment with
intermediate settings. From this screen press the down or up
cursor key to access other control settings.
“Save Settings:”
- This screen is used to store all of the above
control settings in one of three memory presets (“Music”, “Movie”
and “Night”). Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired
preset and press the Enter key to store your current control settings.
“Settings Saved!” will be displayed. After the settings are stored in
memory the display will return to the default “Volume” adjustment
screen. From this screen press the up or down cursor key to
access other control settings.
“Disp Brightness”
- This screen is used to adjust the brightness
level of the display screen. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select
from any one of 4 different brightness intensities. From this screen
press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings.
placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of
your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above,
will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the
subwoofer along the middle of a wall or out in the room will
decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number
of different placement options and control settings to find the one
that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your
subwoofer’s location, keep in mind that you will need to connect
the subwoofer’s built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.
