OPERATION 

Move the 

Master Power Switch 

(marked 

Power

)

to the “

” (On) position.

The SUB-TS10 subwoofer will automatically
turn itself on or go into Standby mode,
depending on whether or not a signal is
being sent to it by your receiver or surround
processor, and provided that the 

Music-

Sense On/Off Switch

is moved to the

right so that it is in the 

AUTO

position.

When your receiver or amplifier is off, or is
not sending program material to the sub-
woofer, the subwoofer will be in Standby
mode and the 

LED Indicator

ª

on the

amp panel will turn red. When the sub-
woofer senses an audio signal, it will auto-
matically turn itself on and the 

LED

Indicator

ª

will turn green. If the sub-

woofer does not sense a signal after
approximately twenty minutes, it will auto-
matically go into Standby mode.

When the 

Music-Sense On/Off Switch

is switched to the 

ON

position, the sub-

woofer will remain on, whether or not pro-
gram material is playing.

If you will be away from home for an
extended period of time, or if the sub-
woofer will not be used, switch the 

Master

Power Switch

to the 

OFF

position.

Volume

Volume can be adjusted using the

Subwoofer-Level Control

, as shown

below.

Additional Bass Adjustments

In addition to the volume adjustments
described above, the SUB-TS10 subwoofer
includes a 

Phase Switch

and a 

Filter

Switch

§

that can be used to adjust the

bass response to suit your listening environ-
ment or taste.

In most situations, the 

Phase Switch

should be left in the 

NORMAL

position. If

you suspect that the subwoofer is playing
out of phase with the other speakers, which
would tend to diminish bass response, try
placing this switch in the 

REVERSE

position. There is no harm in experimenting,
and you may return the switch to the

NORMAL

position at any time. If you

rearrange your room and reposition the
speakers, it would be a good idea to check
whether they are in phase by flipping this
switch.

The 

High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch

§

limits the frequencies of the audio sig-

nal inputted to the subwoofer to the low
frequencies that the subwoofer reproduces
best. This allows the subwoofer to perform
more efficiently, and with superior bass
reproduction, minimizing distortion that
might occur if the subwoofer attempted to
reproduce higher frequencies. This switch
should be left in the 

ON

position,

except

:

1. When the 

SUB Input

£

is being used,

in which case it has no effect, or

2. When the 

Speaker-Level Inputs 

or the 

Line-Level Full-Range Inputs 

¢

are being used with a crossover or filter 
on board the receiver or processor. In these
two circumstances, place the switch in the

OFF

position.
