Before using the subwoofer, adjust the subwoofer to obtain the optimum volume and tone balance between the subwoofer 
and the front speakers by following the procedures described below.
1
Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).
2
Turn on the power of all the other components.
3
Press the POWER switch to the ON position.
* The Power indicator lights up in green.
4
Play a source containing bass signal and adjust the 
amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening 
level.
5
Set the HIGH CUT switch to the LOW or HIGH position.
This subwoofer is designed so that the optimum tone 
balance between the subwoofer and the front 
speakers is obtained when this switch is set to the 
LOW position. The tone balance may change, 
however, depending on the room size, the distance 
from the subwoofer to the front speakers, and so on. 
If necessary, switch it to the HIGH position.
6
Rotate the VOLUME control gradually to adjust the 
volume balance between the subwoofer and the other 
speakers.
* Normally, set the control to the level where you can 
obtain a little more bass effect than when the 
subwoofer is not used. If the desired response cannot 
be obtained, adjust the HIGH CUT switch and the 
VOLUME control again. 
• Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and 
the front speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the 
volume of your whole sound system by using the 
amplifier’s volume control.
However, if you change the front speakers to others, 
you must make this adjustment again.
• For adjusting the 
VOLUME control, the HIGH CUT 
switch, refer to “Frequency characteristics” on page 
10.
