ENGLISH

Audio-visual processors incorporating an “automatic” 
set up procedure may be “confused” by subwoofers 
with an auto switch-on/sleep function. A potentially 
damaging fault condition can arise. Subwoofers are 
best left switched on and fully active during set up if 
such a processor is used.

Note: In some situations, other equipment    
switching on or off may create a spike in the mains  
power supply sufficient to cause the auto-off timer  
to reset. Should that occur, the subwoofer will stay 
on for a further 30 minutes.

Standby:

 With the switch set to Standby the 

subwoofer will become active when 12V is applied to 
the Trigger Input (Number 10 above). Zero volts at the 
input will return the subwoofer to sleep. The indicator 
will glow green when the subwoofer is active and red 
when the subwoofer is in sleep.

Setting The Subwoofer Controls

There are 7 controls to consider:

The VOLUME (LINE) control (Number 3 above)

The VOLUME (SPEAKER) control (Number 4
above)

The LOW-PASS FREQ (frequency) control
(Number 5 above)

The LOW-PASS FILTER switch (Number 6 above)

Note: 

This applies only to the LINE input. The

filter is always in circuit with the SPEAKER LEVEL
input.

The BASS Extension switch (Number 7 above)

The EQ (equalisation) switch (Number 8 above)

The PHASE switch (Number 9 above)

The appropriate settings depend on the equipment 
used with the subwoofer and the modes of connection. 
If using more than one subwoofer, ensure the controls 
on each one are set the same.

Note: The VOLUME (LINE) and VOLUME    
(SPEAKER) controls only operate on their    
respective line and volume inputs. An unused 
volume control is best set to Min.

Switching On and Off

Subwoofers are best switched on after any other item 
and switched off first. The On/Auto/Standby switch 
(Number 2 above) and Status Indicator (Number 1 
above) operate as follows:

On:

 With the switch to On, the subwoofer will remain 

fully active and the indicator will glow green. 

Auto:

With the switch set to Auto, the subwoofer will 

initially become fully active and the indicator will glow 
green. After about 30 minutes without an input signal, 
the subwoofer will automatically enter “sleep” mode. 
The indicator will glow red. When an input signal is 
detected, the subwoofer will automatically become 
active and the indicator will glow green. The subwoofer 
will return to sleep after about 30 minutes with no  
input signal.
