SUBWOOFER OPERATION

Move POWER ON/OFF up to turn power on, or down to turn power off. The POWER indicator lights when power is on.

Adjusting the Volume Control

After all connections are made, adjust the subwoofer's volume control.

1.  Rotate the VOLUME CONTROL knob to MIN.

2.  Turn on your entire audio system.

3.  Turn on the subwoofer.

4.  Play a CD, record, cassette, radio or TV and adjust the entire system's
    overall volume to a comfortable level.

5.  Rotate the subwoofer's VOLUME CONTROL clockwise a little at a time,
    until you achieve the desired balance of bass between the subwoofer and
    the main speakers.

    Bass output should not overpower the main speakers, but should blend
    across the entire musical range.

After you adjust VOLUME CONTROL, use the amplifier/receiver's volume
control to control the speaker's volume.

Adjusting the High Cut Frequency

FREQUENCY Hz adjusts the high end of the subwoofer's frequency range
between 50 Hz and 150 Hz.  Set this control to complement your front
speakers' low frequency capabilities, the placement of your speakers, and
the acoustics of your listening room.

Follow these steps to adjust the high cut frequency.

1.  Rotate FREQUENCY HZ clockwise until it sounds like the music is too
    bass-heavy.

2.  Rotate the control counterclockwise until the bass sounds more natural.

If the mid-bass sounds natural but you want more low bass, rotate FREQUENCY
HZ counterclockwise a little, then turn the volume control up by about the
same amount.

To reduce low base output without affecting the mid-bass output, rotate
FREQUENCY HZ clockwise and the volume control down.
