9.  The sub automatically calculates the 

best equalization, based on the mea-
sured frequency response at your listen-
ing position. This will be saved, before 
returning to the normal listening mode.

10.  In normal listening, you can adjust the 

overall effect of the saved EQ settings 
with the Equalizer Authority control. 
Normally you would turn it to 100% for 
full equalization. You can turn it to 0% 
to judge the effect of no equalization, or 
vary it to suit your taste.

11.  Repeat the Auto EQ procedure if you 

change the location of the subwoofer, or 
if you rearrange your furniture.

Manual EQ Mode

This mode allows you to manually 

adjust the room equalization to suit your 
taste. Some rooms may sound 

fl

 at or life-

less without a touch of color to the sound.

The subwoofer has four EQ bands, 

each represented by two yellow LEDs. 
Each band is 

fi

 xed in frequency and 

bandwidth, but each can be adjusted in 
volume level using the Equalizer Author-
ity control during the Manual equalization 
mode.

This is similar to 

having sliders on 
a 4-band graphic 
equalizer. except the 
settings for each band 
are stored digitally.

The subwoofer saves the setting of the 

Equalizer Authority control for each band, 
so adjusting it for one band does not alter 
the adjustment for the other bands.

First, you should follow the Automatic 

EQ procedure, so the subwoofer will 

adjust for the room effects. Then follow 
this manual procedure if you think the 
equalization might still need a tweak:

1.  Set these controls:

•   Volume to 0 dB.
•   Crossover to "Bypass."
•   Phase to "Normal." 
•   Equalizer Authority to "50%"

2.  Turn on the subwoofer AC power switch.

3.  Press and hold down the Start button 

for several seconds, until the 

fi

 rst pair of 

yellow LEDs light up.

4.  A low frequency test tone will sound to 

help you adjust the lowest band.

5.  Adjust the volume by turning the Equal-

izer Authority control (or press Start to 
skip and move on to the next band). 
You will have to sit back in your listening 
position each time to listen for the effect, 
or seek the help of a loved one or kind 
friend to turn the control while you listen.

6.  Press the Start button to move on to the 

next band, and then adjust the Equalizer 
Authority control as needed. When you 
reach the last band, the next press will 
bring up the 

fi

 rst band again. 

7.  When all bands have been equalized to 

your satisfaction, press and hold down 
the Start button for several seconds 
until all the yellow LEDS come on, and 
the test tone turns off. The Equalizer 
Authority settings will be saved for each 
band. and the subwoofer will return to its 
normal listening mode.

8.  Use the Equalizer Authority to adjust the 

effects level of your equalization.

Resetting the EQ

•    Turn off the subwoofer using the AC 

power switch.

•    Hold down the Start button and turn on 

the AC power switch.

•    Keep the Start button held down for 10 

seconds while the yellow LEDs 

fl

 ash.

•    When the LEDS go out, the EQ is reset 

to the 

fl

 at factory setting.
