To achieve natural sound with an effective super-bass
component, you must adjust the volume and tone balance
between the subwoofer and the front speakers. Follow the
procedure described below.
1.
Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).
2.
Turn on the power to the component(s) connected to
the subwoofer.
If the component is connected to the subwoofer’s
SYSTEM CONNECTOR jack, turn on the power to
that component.
3.
Set the POWER switch on the subwoofer to ON.
* The indicator lights green.
4.
Play a source that contains low-frequency components
and adjust the output level of the front speakers using
the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening
level. (Set all tone controls to flat.)
5.
Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where the
desired response can be obtained.
Normally, set the control to a level a little higher than
the front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible
frequency*.
* The front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible frequency can
be looked up in the speakers’ catalog or owner’s manual.
* The HIGH CUT control has no effect on signals input to the
INPUT 3 LFE terminals.
6.
Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume
balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers.
Normally, set the control to a level where you can
obtain a little more bass effect than when the subwoofer
is not used.
7.
Set the PHASE switch to the position which yields the
more natural (or preferable) phasing.
8.
Set the B.A.S.S. switch to “MOVIE” or “MUSIC”
according to the played source.
MOVIE:
When a movie type source is played, the low-frequency
effects are enhanced to allow listeners to enjoy a more
powerful sound. (The sound will be richer and deeper.)
MUSIC:
When an ordinary music source is played, the excessive
low-frequency components are cut off to make the
sound clearer. (The sound will carry less bass and
reproduce the melody line more clearly.)
Note
Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and the front
speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the volume of your entire
sound system by using the amplifier’s volume control.
However, if you replace the front speakers, you will need to
make this adjustment again.

In most situations, set this switch to select the
reverse mode. However, depending on your speaker
systems or listening condition, there may be a case
when better sound quality is obtained by selecting
the normal mode. Select the better mode by
monitoring the sound.
