4.  Volume Control

This is used to set the volume control of the sub-woofer.  Adjust this to a level at 
which the sub-woofer blends seamlessly into the rest of your system.  See the Set 
Up proceedure on page 9 for recommended initial settings. 

Initial Set Up

Leave the Silver W-12 unplugged from the mains until all signal cables 
are connected.  

The W-12 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in 
the corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position 
is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably 
without being under tension. Cables should be less than 10 metres to avoid interference.

Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the Silver 
W-12 switched on.  

For initial setting up, put the Power Mode Switch in the ‘On’ position and leave the 12v 
trigger cable disconnected.  

Once the input (and output if necessary) cables are connected and the power mode 
switch is in the On position, the W-12 can be connected to the mains power supply and 
switched on at the mains power switch.

Power Cycle

When the W-12 powers up for the first time or when it has been turned off for a long 
period, the EQ button will flash red 3 times while powering up and then go in to standby 
mode (if power mode switch is in the auto position).

When it senses a signal or is activated by the 12v trigger, the LED will illuminate white 
while booting and then the colour of the previously sleceted (or default) EQ profile.

If the power mode switch is in the On position it will be white while booting up and then  
to the colour of the previously selected (or default) EQ profile.

To continue with the set up procedure, put the power mode switch in the ‘On’ position 
so that the APC can be initiated.
