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)
Mains connection (1)
The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by
means of the supplied mains cable.
Power switch (2), power LED (3), Operating mode switch (4)
Mains switch ON
Mains switch AUTO Subwoofer initially in standby mode, the LED is red.
Line inputs (5)
For connecting to level outputs on a receiver/amplifier (stereo mode), see Fig. 2.
For connecting to an AV receiver with low-level subwoofer output, see Fig. 3.
High-level inputs (6)
For connection to the high-level (speaker) outputs of the receiver/amplifier, refer to Fig. 4.
Level control (7)
This control is used to set the bass volume according to your preferences. Proceed as follows:
1. Set the bass control of your amplifier into its centre (linear) position.
2. Important: Set the level control to its left stop (lowest volume).
3. Now, play back some music and set the volume control of the amplifier to the desired level.
4. Set the subwoofer level control to the desired bass level.
Warning: when connecting to an AV receiver's subwoofer output, the subwoofer level should be set to
0 dB in the receiver's set-up.
Power switch ON
Subwoofer is in permanent operation, the LED is
green.
Favourable setting for the reproduction of
programmes with long quiet passages (this prevents
the subwoofer from switching off unintentionally).

receives a signal from the receiver, the LED turns
green.
It automatically switches to standby after receiving
no signals for some minutes, the LED turns red.
Recommended setting.
