CONNECTING & CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER

Presets

Allows up to three pre-saved settings for movie, music and custom. This enables easy switching 

to optimize your PB-3000s output and settings based on your speci c listening preferences with 

di erent kinds of content.  If using the SVS App, these presets can be renamed as desired.

Port Tuning 

Port blocking allows custom tuning of your PB-3000 Subwoofer based on listening preference by 

exchanging max output for low frequency depth and  quickness.  Be sure to use the included 

foam port plugs and match port blocking with the selected tuning.

Three tunings are available:  

Standard Tune = All ports open (highest maximum output)

Extended tune = One port plugged (deeper extension, slightly less maximum output)

Sealed tune = All ports plugged (best transient response)

System Settings

Allows you to adjust subwoofer stand-by mode and display settings such as timeout and bright-

ness, and also reset the subwoofer to factory settings.

Customize the name of your subwoofer for easy preset switching. (Exclusive SVS App 

Feature)
