10. Mains Power Switch
The Mains Power Switch should be switched to the ‘Off’ position when the Apex AW-12 will not be used for
extended periods. The switch must be in the ‘On’ position for the subwoofer to function.
WARNING:
Due to the mains switch being located on the rear panel, the apparatus must be located in the
open area with no obstructions to access the mains switch.
11. IEC Mains Power Connector/ Fuse Location
The Apex AW-12 is supplied with a two-pin mains input socket for connection to the mains supply. Use
ONLY the appropriate IEC mains lead provided with the product. Also fitted is an external mains fuse. If
a fuse blows during operation a spare fuse is provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish
to change the fuse, you can do this by removing the IEC mains lead and carefully levering out the original
fuse from its holder below the IEC mains input socket (11a). If the fuse blows again it is advisable to seek
help from an authorised service agent. DO NOT attempt to re-fit a further fuse as this could result in serious
damage to the amplifier unit.
12. Volume Control
This control allows the level or volume to be adjusted in order to achieve a balanced overall sound. To
use this facility you will need to play a selection of familiar music or film excerpts. Start with the volume at
minimum and increase the level control until a balanced sound is established. If using an AV processor or AV
receiver amplifier, the system can adjusted by the test tone function within the set-up features. (Refer to the
set up section in the AV processor or AV receiver amplifier user guide.) When the AW-12 is correctly set-up,
you should not be able to identify its location easily in the room.
