Commissioning and setting
Before beginning with start-up and operation, make sure that all the cables are
connected correctly.
Switching the subwoofer on/off
Switch the Power switch k to the ON position to switch on the energy supply
(mains 230V/50Hz) for the Reference Sound Subwoofer. Set the switch to OFF to
switch off the subwoofer completely.
Automatic or manual operation
If the subwoofer is connected as described on page 8 and the Mode switch l
is in the Auto position, you no longer need to switch the subwoofer on and off
separately. After switching on the subwoofer for the first time it is switched on
and off automatically with the Loewe TV set.
If the subwoofer is operated on other devices than the Loewe Flat-TV, the Mode
switch l must be switched to the Manu. position. The subwoofer must then be
switched on/off manually with the Power switch k.
Settings on the Loewe TV set
Log in the new devices as described in the operating manual of your Loewe
TV set in the chapter "Operating additional equipment – Connecting audio
ampliÀ ers".

Setting the equalizer
Using the knob Equalizer f you can set the lowest frequency ranges (20 Hz -
50 Hz) for bass playback to be raised or lowered.
• If the Subwoofer is near the corner of the room, then set the knob Equalizer
more in the direction min.
• If the Subwoofer is near a wall, then set the knob Equalizer more in the
middle position.
• If the Subwoofer is freely positioned in the room, then set the knob Equalizer
more in the direction max.
Phase switch
With the phase converter Phase e you have the option of optimising the
bass playback. However, you can easily make this setting in connection with
k
a Loewe Flat TV (from chassis L27xx with integrated AC3 decoder onwards)
using a remote control via the TV menu in the sound component assistant (see
operating instructions under „Setting loudspeaker system"). The phase converter
is designed for systems where settings can not be made using the TV.
We recommend you to proceed as follows:
• Start DVD playback for example and select a title with bass parts.
• Have a second person activate the phase switch whilst you sit and listen.
• Decide for yourself which switch position reproduces the best bass sound.
Bass intensity
Using the controller Bass-Intensity h you can set the basic bass volume to
suit you.
Setting the crossover frequency
The Crossover Frequency knob g gives you the possibility of setting the
limit frequency for bass reproduction between 50 Hz and 250 Hz depending on
which speakers you have connected.
The knob should be set to 250 Hz for Loewe Audio Systems because the crosso-
ver frequency is set in the Loewe audio sources (TV).
Cover on the subwoofer
After you have made the settings described in "Commissioning and setting",
replace the cover on the rear of the subwoofer.
