IN COMBINATION WITH SPEAKERS

The frequency characteristics of the S-W301/S-W501/S-W601 combined 
with small-size speakers are shown below. As shown in these figures, 
the low frequency range is improved.

• These special characteristics are obtained in an echoless chamber. 

The effect of an additional S-W301/S-W501/S-W601 in an ordinary 
listening room is better than the chart indicates when positioned 
adequately. 

 

• With playback of Dolby Digital, establishment of a special channel 

for the subwoofer is recommended; and with playback of LFE (Low 
Frequency Effect: sound effect like the rumbling of the earth, whose 
purpose is to intensify the force of the video), the S-W301/S-W501/S-
W601 is especially effective.

INSTALLATION

Speaker Installation

Subwoofer Installation Criteria

1 Left speaker
2 Right speaker
3 Recommended 

installation range 
for the subwoofer

4 Listening position

The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making use of the fact 
that the human ear is not very sensitive to the direction of low-pitched 
sound. Because of this, the subwoofer can be installed almost 
anywhere. If it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the 
other speakers may become unnatural.

An example of speaker positioning

1 Front left speaker
2 Center speaker
3 Front right speaker
4 Subwoofer
5 Listening area
6 Rear left speaker
7 Rear right speaker

NOTES:

• Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from 

the TV set and approximately 1.8 meters (6 ft.) from each other.

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of 

the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

• The rear (surround) speakers are most effective when installed in 

parallel locations directly to the side, or slightly behind, the listener, 
at a level about 1 meter (3.3 ft.) above the listener’s ears.

Installation Precautions

• Do not attach the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off 

and cause injury.

• Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be 

exposed to high temperatures and high humidity.

• Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating equipment or at 

locations exposed to direct sunlight, as these can have an adverse 
effect on the cabinet and internal components. Also, do not install 
the unit where there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can 
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking tables and 
other locations where the unit would be exposed to heat, steam and 
soot.)

• Do not place heavy or large objects on top of the speaker. Doing so 

could provoke the speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily injury. 
If speakers fall from their installation locations, they may suffer 
irreparable cracks in their finish.

• Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks which are 

sensitive to magnetic fields.

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing so may 

cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.

• Do not place cups, glasses, or other containers with fluids on top of 

the units, since the units may be damaged if the liquid spills.

• The installation location selected should have a sturdy floor surface. 

Mounting the speaker on a long-pile carpet should be avoided, since 
the carpet may touch the driver’s diaphram, causing distorted 
sound.

• Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of the tuner, as 

noise can be caused with installation close to the antenna cable. In 
such a case, use this unit at a position away from the antenna and 
the antenna cable, or when playback of extra bass is not required, 
switch off the power for this unit.

CAUTION:

When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to 
secure it with tape or some other suitable means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks 
such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby 
or damaging the speaker.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be 
placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as 
floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept 
close to the subwoofer.

MAINTENANCE OF EXTERNAL SURFACES:

• Clean the surface by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in 

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and 
wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use 
furniture wax or cleaners.

• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other 

chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the 
surfaces.

PANEL FACILITIES

FRONT PANEL

REAR PANEL

1 Power Indicator (STANDBY/ON)

Lights blue when the power has been switched ON. When AUTO 
STANDBY switch is set to ON, lights blue whenever the speaker receive 
an audio signal. If the power is switched OFF only briefly, the indicator 
lights blue when power is restored. If no signal is present for more than 
12 minutes, the subwoofer automatically reverts to standby mode and the 
power indicator lights red. If, subsequently, a signal is received, power 
automatically comes back on and the power indicator lights blue.

NOTE:

• If you are planning on switching the unit OFF for a long period of 

time, make sure to check that the indicator light has gone out after 
switching OFF.

2 Power switch (POWER)

Switches the subwoofer between ON and OFF.

3 Volume knob (VOLUME)

Sets the subwoofer volume.
• Turn the knob slowly from the MIN position. 
• With this unit, the bass level can be independently set, so do not 

turn up the bass on the AV amplifier.

4 Crossover knob (CROSSOVER)

When using the subwoofer, set the upper frequency limit for the 
subwoofer (

50 Hz

 to 

200 Hz

) so that it complements the output from 

your other speakers.
When using the bass management features of an AV receiver, set to 

BYPASS ON

 in order to use the low-pass filter of the AV receiver for 

high quality sound.

5 Bypass switch (BYPASS) 

When set to 

ON

, the audio signal is routed to the woofer unit, 

bypassing the amplifier’s crossover circuit.

6 Phase switch (PHASE 0º /180º)

When set to 

180º

, the output phase becomes the reverse of the input 

signal, and when set to 

, it is in the same phase as the input signal.

• Normally, the switch is set to 

.

But when the sound connection between the subwoofer and the 
left and right speakers sounds unnatural, try switching to 

180º

 

and set the switch in the position where the sound is natural.

• When using two or more subwoofers together, make sure that the 

phase switch of all of them are set to the same position.

7 Auto Standby switch (AUTO STANDBY)

Switches the Auto Standby feature on/off. 
When switched 

ON 

(the default setting is 

OFF

), the Auto Standby 

feature becomes active. In this mode, if there is no input signal for 12 
minutes the system automatically switches to standby. The power is 
automatically switched on again if an input signal is detected. 

NOTE:

There may be cases where a connected component outputs noise or 
some other non-audio signal which causes this system to 
automatically power on when in Auto Standby mode. If this happens, 
switch off the Auto Standby mode and switch the system on/off 
manually.

8 Line Level Input terminal (LINE LEVEL INPUT)

Connect to the SUBWOOFER PREOUT terminal of an amplifier or 
receiver, with the specially provided RCA plug cord.

9 Line Level Output terminal (LINE LEVEL OUTPUT)

Used for connecting other equipment through the amplifier. The 
signal output from this jack is not affected in any way by the settings 
of the various controls on the unit.

10 AC CORD

Connect the AC cord to a AC socket (in the room).

CONNECTIONS

Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power 
and disconnect both this unit and the amplifier/receiver from the 
AC outlet.

LINE LEVEL CONNECTION

This connection is for an amplifier or receiver equipped with a 

SUBWOOFER PREOUT

 terminal. Connect to the 

LINE LEVEL INPUT

 

terminal on this unit, using the specially provided RCA plug cord.

NOTE:

• When connected to the 

PREOUT

 terminal for surround center 

channel on the amplifier or receiver, the bass is heard only on the 
center channel, so it will be insufficient.

OPERATION

For details regarding operating part functions, refer to 

PANEL 

FACILITIES

 above.

1. Turn the POWER switch (2) ON.

• If the unit’s power cord is connected to a switched AC outlet on 

the amplifier or receiver and the switch is left ON, the unit can be 
turned ON/OFF together with the amplifier or receiver.

• If the unit cannot be connected to the amplifier or receiver, turn 

the power to the amplifier or receiver ON before turning the power 
to the unit ON. When turning the power OFF, turn the power to the 
unit OFF before turning the power to the amplifier or receiver OFF.

2. Operate the amplifier or receiver and adjust the volume of the 

other speakers.

3. Adjust the volume of the bass with the VOLUME knob (3).

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit 

you’ve just purchased is only the start of your 
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how 
you can maximize the fun and excitement your 
equipment  offers. This manufacturer and the 
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer 
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of 
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that 
lets the sound come through loud and clear without 
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, 
without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing 

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. 
So what sounds  “normal” can actually be loud and 
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by 
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your 
hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level: 

•  Start your volume control at a low setting.
•  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it 

comfortably and   clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound 
level:

•  Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent 

hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we 
want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime 

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will 

provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since 
hearing damage from loud noise is often 
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer 
and the Electronic Industries Association’s 
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid 
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of 
sound levels is included for your protection.
