Turning the Subwoofer On and Off
Set the subwoofer’s Power Switch to the “On” position.

If you set the
•
Power On Mode Switch to “Auto,” the subwoofer will automatically
turn itself on when it receives an audio signal, and it will go into the Standby mode
once it has received no audio signal for 20 minutes. The subwoofer’s LED will glow
white when the subwoofer is on, and will not light up when the subwoofer is in
the Standby mode.
If the Power-On Mode Switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer will remain on at all
•
times. The subwoofer’s LED will glow white.
If the External Trigger Input Connector is connected to a voltage source, the subwoofer
will turn on whenever the source generates a trigger voltage and will go into Standby
mode 10 to 15 minutes after the trigger voltage ceases, regardless of the position of the
Power On Mode switch.
If you will not be using the subwoofer for an extended period, set the Power switch to
the “Off” position.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Volume
Use the Subwoofer Level control to set the subwoofer’s volume. Turn the knob clockwise
to increase the subwoofer’s volume; turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the
volume. Once you have balanced the subwoofer’s volume with that of the other speakers
in your system, you shouldn’t have to change it.

Subwoofer Adjustments: Phase
This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver’s piston-like action moves in and
out in phase with the soundbar speakers. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with
the soundbar speakers, the sound waves from the soundbar could cancel out some of
the sound waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This
phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the speakers relative to each other
in the room.
Although in most cases you should leave the Phase switch in the “Normal” position, there
is no absolutely correct setting for the Phase switch. When the subwoofer is properly in
phase with the soundbar speakers, the sound will be clearer and have maximum impact,
and percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings will sound more lifelike.
The best way to set the Phase switch is to listen to music that you know well and set the
switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum impact.

Subwoofer Adjustments: Bass Boost
When set to the “On” position, the Bass Boost switch enhances low-frequency
performance. The results: bass with more impact, which you may prefer while watching
movies or listening to music. There is no harm in experimenting with this control. Setting
the switch to the “Off” position will return the subwoofer to its normal low-frequency
performance.
