Infinity PS410 - OPERATION; Power On and Auto Standby; Adjusting Subwoofer Settings; MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

OPERATION
Power On
Plug your subwoofer's ACcord into a wall outlet. Do not use the outlets on
the back of the receiver.
Initially set the Subwoofer Level Control 0 to the "Min" position.
Turn on your subwoofer by pressing the Power Switch 0. Turn on your
entire audio system and start playing a CD or movie soundtrack at a
moderate level.
Auto On/Standby
With the Power Switch 0 in the ON position, the Status LED Light fj
will rem a in lit in red or green to indicate the On / Standby mode of the
subwoofer.
RED= STANDBY (No signal detected, amp off)
GREEN = ON (Signal detected, amp on)
The subwoofer will automatically enter the Standby mode if it detects no
signal from your system for about 10 minutes. When it detects a signal,
the subwoofer will power on instantly. During periods of norm al use, you
can leave the Power Switch 0 on. You may turn off the Power Switch 0
for extended periods of nonoperation, e.g., whe n you are away on vacation.
Adjust Gain
Turn your Subwoofer Level Control 0 up to the halfway position. If no
sound emanate s from the subwoofer , check the AC-power cord and in p ut
cabl es. Ar e the connectors on the cables making proper contact? Is the
AC plug connected to a "live" receptacle? Has the Power Switch 0 been
pressed to the "On" position? Once you have confirmed that the subwoofer
is active, proceed by playing a CD, record or cassette. Use a selection th at
has ample bass.
Set the ov e rall volume control of the preamp li fier or stereo to a
comfort a ble level. Adjust the Subwoofer Level Control 0 until you obtain
a pleasing blend of bass. Bass response should not overpower the room
but rather be adjusted so there is a harmonious blend across the entire
musical range. Many users have a tendency to set the subwoofer volume
too loud, adhering to the belief that a subwoofe r is there to produce lots of
bass. This belief is not entirely true. A subwoofer is ther e to enhance ba ss,
ex t ending the re s ponse of the entire system so listeners can feel the bas s
as well as he ar it. However, the system must maintain an overall balance,
or the music will not sound na tural. An experienced listener will set the
volume of the subwoofer so its impa ct on bas s response is alw a ys the re
but is never obtrusive .
Phase Control
The Ph as e Switch 8 determine s whether the subwoof er s pe a ker' s pi sto n-
like action moves in and out with the main speakers (0 °) or opposite the
ma in sp e ak e rs (180 °). Proper phase a djustment depends on va ri a bles
such as room size, s ubwoofer placement and li stener po s ition. Adjust the
ph a se switch to maximize bass output at th e li s tening position.

Crossover Adjustment
The Crossover Adjustment Cont r ol 0 determines the hi ghest frequency
at wh i ch the subwoofer rep r oduces sounds. If your main speakers can
comfortably reproduce some l ow -frequency sound s, set this control to
a lower frequency setting, be t ween 50Hz and 1OOH z. Th is setting will
concentrate the subwoofer 's efforts on the ultradeep bass sounds requi r ed
by today's films and music. If y ou are using smaller b ookshelf speakers
that do not extend to the lowe r bass frequencies , set the Crossover
Adju s tment Control to a higher setting, between 120Hz and 150Hz.
NOTE : This control will ha ve no effect if the LFE / No rm al Selector 6 is set
to LFE. If you have a Dolby Dig i tal or DTS processor / re cei ver, it will set
the lo w -pass frequency . Cons ult your owner 's manu al to learn how to view
or ch ange this setting.
