PLUGGING IN THE SUBWOOFER
Once your audio connections are complete, you are ready to make the electrical connection. Set
the “BASS LEVEL” control to “MIN”, attach the power cord to the receptacle on the subwoofer’s
back panel and plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet. Do NOT use the
“switched” power outlet found on the back of some receivers, processors and amplifiers.
Slide the power switch on the back of your subwoofer to either the “AUTO” or “ON” position. (If
you hear a thump from the subwoofer, this is the normal sound of the power supply charging.)
Some MK Sound subwoofers feature an “AUTO ON” function with the power switch. With “AUTO
ON”, your subwoofer is in Standby until it receives an audio signal. At that point, it automatically
switches on and continues operation as long as an audio signal is detected. After a few minutes
without an audio signal, it will power down to Standby.
With the power switch in the “ON” position, the subwoofer is fully active whether or not your other
components are switched on.
Now, play some music through your system to make sure that the satellite (main) speakers are
working properly. Once you confirm that they are, slowly advance the “BASS LEVEL” control. The
subwoofer should begin to play. Set the “BASS LEVEL” control to where the subwoofer sounds in
balance with the satellite speakers. If the system is not working properly, unplug the subwoofer
and check all of your connections. If you still have no success, contact your MK Sound dealer.
NOTE: Once you have achieved a rough subwoofer level setting, refer to the
system set-up guide found later in this manual.
NOTE: When your subwoofer is switched to the “AUTO ON” position, it will use a
slight amount of electricity when in Standby. If you are concerned about
power usage, you may want to switch the subwoofer off instead. Switching the unit
off is also a good idea if you know that you will not be using it for some time.
