In addition to the above mentioned setup for stereo subwoofers, some state-of-the-art home theater installations
have begun to use a separate subwoofer placed in the rear of the room and we recommend this for the

absolute ultimate in movie bass performance. When using two subwoofers, placing one in the front of the room
and the other in the rear of the room usually provides the best bass performance and sonic integration. If those

locations are not possible or if you want to experiment with placement options using two subwoofers, the

following procedure will be a helpful guide to achieving better bass performance. “Refer to Subwoofer
Connection” section below, then proceed as follows:

1. Temporarily turn all speakers off (either by turning your amplifier off or disconnecting them).

2. Connect and place one subwoofer in the central area of your listening room (follow directions for

connection, as outlined in the following section).

3. At a moderately loud level, play music or a video soundtrack with extended bass that is repetitive

or continuous.

4. Walk around your room and note where the bass sounds louder and where it sounds quieter.

5. Place the first subwoofer within a louder bass area of your room; then place the second subwoofer within

a quieter bass area of your room.

6. Connect both subwoofers and switch all speakers back on; and switch the amplifier on, or reconnect it.

7. Now follow “Fine Tuning” instructions after the Subwoofer Connection section to optimize your system’s

overall bass performance.

NOTE: The preceding is only a guideline. You may want to use a bass test disc and SPL (Sound Pressure Level)
meter to more accurately determine the bass characteristics of your listening room (see dealer for more
information). Remember that room acoustics vary, so it may take some experimenting with placement to

achieve best performance.

Powering Up the Subwoofer

Your ForceField subwoofer contains a built-in, active powered subwoofer section as well as an electronic
crossover. Each ForceField subwoofer must be plugged into an electrical socket (use an unswitched outlet if
possible) of the appropriate voltage (as indicated on the back of your unit) using the plug on the end of the
black cord attached to the electronics module on the back of the subwoofer. The ForceField subwoofer has
a special circuit which automatically turns the powered subwoofer section on when a signal is fed to the loud-
speaker and does not require an on/off switch. (When the Subwoofer is first plugged in, the LED will flash for
30 seconds while the sub conducts a self-test, initializing the software and hardware. After 30 sec, if there is no
audio signal, the LED will turn off and the subwoofer will go into standby mode drawing a low amount of power
while waiting for an audio signal.)

The LED on the back panel will light up when a signal is sensed and the amplifier will turn on. After you stop
listening, it may take up to an hour for the amplifier to actually turn off. (Please note: In some instances, because
of RF presence in your area, the LEDs may not turn off. However, this is nothing to be concerned about as the
amplifiers draw almost no power when they are idling.) Please note: It is normal to hear a slight pop from the
subwoofer when the amp powers up.

NOTE: To prevent accidental damage to your subwoofer from overdriving the system, the subwoofer features an
internal overload protection circuit, which will turn the subwoofer off or down when overdriven or overheated
and will then resume normal operation after a few minutes.
