Adjusting The Sound - Sony SA-W10 Mode D'emploi

Adjusting the Sound

Note
If the sound distorts when you
turn on the bass reinforcement
from your amplifier (such as,
DBFB, GROOVE, the graphic
equalizer, etc.), turn off the bass
reinforcement and adjust the
sound.
You can adjust the woofer to suit the sound of your front speakers.
Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a greater sense of atmosphere.

Play your favorite song.
Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are most suitable for
adjustment. Turn the volume for front speakers to the same level as
usual.
2
Adjust the volume level of the woofer.
Turn the LEVEL control so that you can hear the bass sound a little
more than before. To increase the volume, turn the control clockwise.
To decrease the volume, turn the control counterclockwise.

Adjust the cut-off frequency.
Turn the CUT OFF FREQ control, depending on the reproduction
frequencies of your front speakers.

Select the phase polarity.
Use PHASE to select the phase polarity. Depressing PHASE reverses
the polarity and may provide better bass reproduction in certain
listening environments (depending on the type of front speakers, the
position of the woofer and the adjustment of the cut-off frequency). It
may also change the expanse and tightness of sound, and effect the
feeling of sound field. Select the setting that provides the sound you
prefer when listening in your normal listening position.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 to adjust for your preference.
Once you have adjusted the woofer to the settings you desire, use the
VOLUME control on the amplifier to adjust the volume of the woofer
with that of the other speakers. You don't need to adjust the woofer
settings when you change the volume level of the amplifier.
