POSITIONING
The frequency range reproduced by the subwoofer cannot be pinpointed by the human ear. That's why
positioning generally doesn't present any problems. However, it is preferable to place the speaker close
to the front loudspeaker in front of the listening position. You should also make sure that the distance
from the sides to items and walls is at least 30 centimetres and at least 20 centimetres from the rear
as otherwise bass reproduction may be impaired.
THE SUBWOOFER'S OPERATING ELEMENTS (FIG. 1 + 2)
Mains connection (1), mains-voltage switch (2)
The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet
by means of the supplied mains cable. The voltage selector has been set at the factory to 230 V for
operation in Europe.
Warning: Connecting the subwoofer to a 230 V mains outlet while the voltage selector is set to 115
V will lead to immediate destruction of the fitted amplifier!
Mains switch (3), power LED (9), AUTO/ON switch (6)

Line inputs (7)
For connecting to level outputs on a receiver/amplifier (stereo mode), see Fig. 4.
For connecting to an AV receiver with low-level subwoofer output, see Fig. 5.
Phase switch (5)
In normal use the phase switch should be set to 0°. However, in rare cases it may be advantageous
to set the phase to 180° (e.g. if the subwoofer is far away from the front satellites or in the event of
unfavourable acoustics in the room). Generally speaking: the setting where the lower base tone area
has a fuller sound is the correct one.
Fuse (4)
Only use a fuse with the parameters indicated next to the fuse holder on the rear of the amplifier.
Mains switch ON
is green.
Favourable setting for the reproduction of
programmes with long quiet passages (this prevents
the subwoofer from switching off unintentionally).
Subwoofer initially in standby mode, the power LED
is red.
The subwoofer switches on automatically when it
receives a signal from the receiver, the power LED
turns green.
It automatically switches to standby after receiving
no signals for some minutes, the LED turns red.
Recommended setting.
