Operation
Audio On/Auto/Mute
Plug the subwoofer's AC cord into a wall outlet. Do not use the outlets on the back of the receiver. Set the Audio On switch
to the desired setting.
AUDIO ON – The subwoofer audio is always on.
AUTO – The subwoofer audio will turn on whenever a signal is detected. If no signal is detected after several minutes, it will
automatically enter the Mute mode.
MUTE – The subwoofer is muted and will not produce any sound. You may want to unplug your subwoofer if you will not be
using it for some time or wish to conserve electricity. (On 230v models only, you may turn off the main power switch, located
next to the power cord.)
An LED indicator next to the Polarity switch indicates what mode the subwoofer is in.
OFF – The subwoofer is unplugged
RED – Mute (No signal detected, Audio Off )
BLUE – Audio On (Signal detected, Audio On)
The subwoofer will automatically enter the Mute mode after several minutes when no signal is detected from your system.
The subwoofer audio will then turn on instantly when a signal is detected.
Polarity Control
(0° or 180°): Selects regular (0°) or inverted (180°) phase for the subwoofer. Set this switch to provide the fullest, most
dynamic bass. The effect of phase will be most audible on low-frequency percussion instruments or music with a continuously
repeating bass line.
Crossover Control
Adjusts the frequency of the low pass filter for the subwoofer. Note: This control is not active when using the LFE input jack.
Volume Control
Turn the subwoofer Volume control to the 11 o'clock position. If no sound emanates from the subwoofer, check the AC-line
cord, Audio On switch, Power switch (on 230v models), and input cables.
Adjust the subwoofer Volume control until you hear a match between the main speaker and subwoofer. Bass response should
not overpower the room but rather be adjusted so there is a natural blend across the entire musical range.
Maintenance and Service
All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade at least once a year.
If a problem does occur, make sure that all connections are properly made, secure and clean. If a problem occurs in one
loudspeaker, rewire that speaker in a different location within the system. Should the problem persist then the problem is
within the speaker. If the speaker sounds fine in the new position it is a strong indication of a more in depth issue with the
electronics in the system. In the event that your speakers ever need service, contact your local Boston Acoustics dealer or
visit bostonacoustics.com/dealers for a list of dealers in your area.
