Unpacking & Installation
Lift out the subwoofer unit from the packaging, care must be taken not to depress
the drive unit cones as this could result in permanent damage. Fix the four feet to
the underside with the screws provided. The subwoofer unit should be positioned
in the most suitable position, preferably not in the corner of a room as this may
cause a pronounced boom. It is important to position the subwoofer initially to have
easy access to the control panel.
After you have chosen your desired connection method it is important to note that
all your cables will reach easily. Leave the subwoofer unplugged until the
installation and initial set-up procedure is complete.
The optimal control settings will depend entirely on your system configuration.
For initial trials set the controls as follows:
Gain
should be set to the minimum position.
Frequency
should be set to approximately 60 Hz, if you have large main speakers.
If you have small main speakers or satellites, this should be set to
approximately 100Hz.
Phase
should be set to initial 0 degrees.
Mode
If you prefer an audio quality performance the mode switch should be
left in audio. If you are installing a predominately home cinema
system it may be more effective to set mode switch to video position.
Note: This Subwoofer unit is fitted with a switchable voltage selector, which
should be factory set. If you are in any doubt as to your mains supply voltage spec-
ification you must consult the dealer from where you purchased the product. Under
no circumstances should the voltage selector be altered.
See: Mains voltage chart under specifications on page 16.
Note: If the Subwoofer is not likely to be used for long periods, it is wise to switch
off at the mains. This is a recommended safe practice in order to reduce the risk of
electrical fire.
