6 SB 10 Subwoofer Rear-Panel Controls Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer drivers piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves from the satellites could cancel out some of the sound waves from the subwoofers, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the speakers relative to each other in the room. Bass Boost Switch: Set this switch to On to enhance the subwoofers low-frequency performance. Set this switch to Off for normal low-frequency performance. Power-On Mode Switch: When this switch is set in the Auto position and when the Power Switch is set to On, the subwoofer will automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal and will enter the Standby mode when it has gone without receiving an audio signal for 20 minutes. When this switch is set in the On position, the subwoofer will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.\ When the Power-On Mode Switch is in the Auto position, the LED light next to the switch indicates whether the subwoofer is in the On or Standby mode:When the LED glows blue, the subwoofer is in the On mode. - When the LED is off, the subwoofer is in Standby mode. - When the Power Switch is set to Off, the LED will not light up, no matter what setting the Power-On Mode Switch is in. Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the subwoofers volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume; turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the volume. External Trigger Input Connector: Use the mini-plug of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input Connector to the trigger output of another compatible component. Whenever the subwoofer amplifier detects a trigger signal between 3V and 30V (AC or DC) the amplifier will turn on. The subwoofer amplifier will turn off after the trigger signal ceases, even when the Power-On Mode Switch is in the Auto position. Line-Level In LFE Connector: This input bypasses the subwoofers internal crossover circuitry, so use it only with a receiver or processor subwoofer output that has been low-pass filtered. If your receiver or processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered, you should use the subwoofers Line-Level In L/R Connectors instead (see below). Use the supplied LFE cable (the one with purple connectors) to connect the Line-Level In LFE Connector to the dedicated subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp/processor. Line-Level In L/R Connectors: These inputs pass through the subwoofers built-in crossover. Use them if your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered. If your receiver or preamp/processor has a subwoofer output, use the supplied - LFE/trigger cable to connect it to either one of the subwoofers Line-Level L/R In Connectors. If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a separate subwoofer output, - use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect an adapters single end to the units preamp output for that channel. Connect one of the adapters dual ends to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the adapters other dual end to one of the subwoofers Line-Level L/R In Connectors. Repeat the process with the other Y-adapter, preamp channel, main amp input and subwoofer Line-Level L/R In Connector. Power Switch: Set this switch in the On position to turn the subwoofer on. The subwoofer will then be in either On or Standby mode, depending on the setting of the Power-On Mode Switch. Power Cord: After you have made and verified all subwoofer and speaker connections described in this manual, plug this cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the subwoofer. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components.
