(Refer to Fig. 5 below)
1. IMPORTANT: Make sure that ALL system components
including the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 are turned OFF before
proceeding.
2.
Connect a set of high-quality line level connection cables (patch
cords) between the TV analog audio output connectors and the
LINE IN sockets on the back of the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2.
Make sure that left is connected to left and right is connected to
right.
3.
You are now ready to put your Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 sub-
woofer into use. Skip to “E – INITIAL LISTENING TEST.”

It’s now time to introduce the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 amplifier’s potent and
plentiful bass into your listening environment.
1.
Double-check all connections.
2.
Make sure that the volume controls on both the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2
and your receiver/integrated amp/preamp/TV are turned all the way down (fully
counterclockwise). Set the PHASE switch to zero. Set the CROSS- OVER FRE-
QUENCY knob to 100Hz for normal operation, or to 150Hz for Dolby Digital oper-
ation where the proper crossover frequency is set in the receiver’s crossover.
3.
Turn on your stereo/home theater system. THEN turn on the Elura SUBB8.2/
SUBB10.2. Confirm that the subwoofer’s blue POWER indicator is glowing. If it
isn’t, check the power connections between the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 and
the wall socket.
4.
Play a musical selection or DVD that you are familiar with. Pick a song that
has regular low bass beats. Advance the receiver/ integrated amp/preamp/TV’s
volume control up to a normal listening level. If you don’t hear sound through your
main speakers, turn off the system and check connections. Also consult the trouble-
shooting tips on page 8.
5.
If sound is indeed coming out of your main speakers, turn the Elura
SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2’s VOLUME control clockwise until you hear noticeable addi-
tional bass. If you don’t hear bass by the time you have advanced the sub-
woofer’s VOLUME control halfway, turn off the system and check connections.
Also consult the troubleshooting tips on page 8.
6.
Adjust the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2’s VOLUME control until you are satisfied
with the amount of bass. You may want to try several different albums, compact
discs, or DVDs while determining how high to adjust the Elura SUBB8.2/
SUBB10.2’s VOLUME. The amount of bass varies from CD to CD and DVDs.
7.
Now that you have adjusted the
quantity
of bass via the volume, it’s time
to work on the
quality
of the bass with the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control,
PHASE switch – and experimentation with Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 room
position.
• While playing music or a movie, move the subwoofer around, in and out of
corners, closer and farther from the wall, etc. as much as the power cord and
other connections will allow.
• Change the PHASE switch between 0° - 180°, while someone sits in the main
listening position. Leave the switch in the position where you like the bass most.
• Change the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control (for Dolby Pro-Logic receivers)
to higher and lower settings. If the CROSS-OVER FREQUENCY control is set too
high, you’ll start to hear low midrange (voices and instruments) through it. This will
negatively affect the stereo imaging of your main speakers. Lower the CROSS-
OVER FREQUENCY setting until you hear only bass from the Elura SUBB8.2/
SUBB10.2. If the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control is set too low, you simply
won’t get much output from the subwoofer. Move it back closer to 80 - 100Hz.
8.
After you are satisfied with the output of your Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2, you
can make all your volume settings through your main stereo system’s volume
control. The only time you might want to re-adjust the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2’s
VOLUME is when you encounter a musical selection or movie that has abnor-
mally low – or high – bass.
You can leave the Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 turned on and in AUTO mode when
not in use. It does not draw much power in this state and will be ready to add low
bass the moment you begin to play music.
Remember, you don’t have to do anything except leave the POWER switch in the
AUTO position. The Elura SUBB8.2/SUBB10.2 will automatically go into STAND-
BY mode after approximately 8 minutes, when no music or movie is playing.
If you’re not using your system for a long period of time (such as when you’re on
vacation), turn the POWER switch to the OFF position.
