● Place the subwoofer as shown.
● To obtain a better bass reproduction, place the
subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance is
unlikely to occur.
● Always place the subwoofer in a vertical position,
at least a few centimeters away from the
television and wall.
● Do not place an object on the subwoofer or sit
on it.
● If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a
room, the bass could be extremely weakened.
This is due to the influence of the standing wave
of the room. If this happens, move the
subwoofer away from the center of the room or
eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by
installing a bookshelf on the wall for example.
IMPORTANT!
Before you operate the subwoofer,
complete the preparation procedures.
Switch on your mini system and select the
sound source.

Volume Adjustment
You can adjust the subwoofer to suit the sound
level of your front speakers. Reinforcing the bass
sound gives you a greater sense of atmosphere.
1
Adjust the VOLUME on the mini system until
the sound from the front speakers is not
distorted. If it is distorted, the sound from the
subwoofer also will be distorted.
2
Play your favorite songs.
● Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are the
most suitable samples for adjusting the
subwoofer volume.
3
Adjust the subwoofer VOLUME to determine
the loudness of the bass sound from the
subwoofer.
Phase Selector
Use PHASE
SELECTOR
located at the rear
of the subwoofer to
select the phase polarity. Selecting the polarity at
either 0˚ or 180˚ may determine better bass
reproduction effect in certain listening
environments (depending on the type of front
speakers and the position of the subwoofer). It
also may change the expense and tightness of
the sound, and affect the feeling of the sound
field. Select the setting that provides the sound
you prefer when you are in your normal listening
position.
Repeat the adjustment for Volume and Phase
Polarity to suit your preference. After you have
adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you
desire, use the VOLUME control on the mini
system to adjust the volume of the subwoofer
and the other speakers. You will not need to
adjust the subwoofer settings again ev
en when
you change the volume level of the mini system.
