ON Mode
If the subwoofer is set to ON mode, it will always be ready to play. However, undesired noise from interference
or connections changing may be heard, and leaving the subwoofer on all the time is not energy efficient. Use the
standard ON mode only if needed. Set the power switch to OFF when the amplifier is not in use.
AUTO Mode
Setting the switch to AUTO enables AUTO Sense. The subwoofer turns on and off automatically in response to signal
on the inputs. The unit will enter standby mode if no signal is sensed for 15 minutes.
Fine Tuning Audio and Operation
After making all the connections and calibrating the loudspeakers, set up your Episode® subwoofer using the
following steps:
1. Set the MODE switch to the ‘ON’ position for setup.
2. Plug the subwoofer into an electrical outlet using the included power cord. The status LED will illuminate solid
blue when power is present and the subwoofer is on.
3. Set the controls and switches to their initial setup positions:
• VOLUME dial set to 50%, or 12 o’clock
• CROSSOVER dial: Set to LFE if LFE input is used; Otherwise, set to match the low-end frequency limit of
the satellite speakers in use. See specifications for the speakers installed to determine their low-end limit.
• PHASE set to 0º
4. Play a movie scene or music track and set the system volume to an average level. Listen to the bass level from
your favorite listening position. Adjust the VOLUME control as desired.
5. Continue listening to your favorite music and movie sources using the settings chosen for volume and
crossover. Experiment with the PHASE setting until you find the best setting for the installation. Depending on
your subwoofer’s placement, the bass may sound louder or deeper when the phase has been optimized. In
some cases, adjusting phase will make no audible difference.
6. Once calibration is complete, switch the power mode back to ‘AUTO’ if Auto Sense mode is being used. Wait
15-20 minutes to confirm that AUTO mode is working properly. See Troubleshooting if issues occur.
7. Setup is now complete.
