[. . . ] You will get the best from this high-quality product by following the instructions below. UNPACKING Open the box and remove all staples, then take out the subwoofer. If you notice any defects on any elements when unpacking, contact your dealer. 13 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS Before installing: Before connecting your installation, make sure all equipment is switched off. [. . . ] 18 POWERING ON Powering on should be carried out as follows : • Check once again that all connections are correct and that volume buttons are at a minimum (speaker and amplifier). € Connect the power plug (after checking that your power supply voltage corresponds to that of the equipment 230 V or 120 V). € Place the Auto/Remote selector switch to Remote (to deactivate automatic powering on and use remote control to switch on) or Auto (to activate automatic powering on). Note: Cut off the power supply to the subwoofer using the power switch when it is not in use for several days. POSITIONING AND SETTINGS Position your subwoofer in the forward listening zone (if possible between the two main speakers) for better sound resolution. However, do not place it against the television set as the speaker is not shielded. The ideal setting should correspond to a realistic reproduction of the basses and be as much in tune as possible with your main loudspeakers. It should not be possible to «feel» the subwoofer, the bass should seem to come from the main speakers. The phase inversion switch can be used to search for the best results. This switch is used to inverse the phase of the sound signals coming from the subwoofer. 19 Depending on the position of the subwoofer in the room in relation to the main speakers, inverting the subwoofer phase can lead to better coherence of the system’s global response to bass frequencies. We recommend you carry out various tests to find the setting which suits you best. Use a recording you know well and study the result according to your tastes and expectations. Using the subwoofer’s internal filtering: The frequency is tuned to the main speakers using the «LOW PASS» potentiometer. Carry out tests by first positioning the setting switch between 40 and 80 Hz with large size main speakers, between 80 and 160 Hz for small size speakers. Using the A/V amplifier’s filtering: You can use your A/V amplifier (if it allows) to filter the bass frequencies of the subwoofer. Make the settings on your A/V amplifier (see the owner’s manual of your equipment at the section setting subwoofer mode and the crossover frequency). In this way, the signal no longer passes through the subwoofer’s internal filter, but directly to the amplifier.
