and potential aggravation. Below are possible solutions to some common
problems.

· Check to make sure that the powered subwoofer is plugged in to a
working power outlet. The power indicator lamp should light up.
· Check to make sure that the sub’s gain (volume) knob is set high
enough and that the frequency knob is set between 85 and 120 Hz.
· Try reversing the phase of the subwoofer using the phase switch on
the rear panel.
· The position of the woofer in a subwoofer/satellite system in a room
with respect to walls and floors will have a major influence on the bass
output from your speakers. Generally, a speaker will have the MOST
bass when it's in a corner, a little LESS when it is against the wall but
not in a corner, and LEAST when it is away from the walls and off the
floor. If you are getting low bass output and your speakers are in phase,
experiment with the room position of your speakers. See our Speaker
Placement section for a more detailed discussion on how room position
influences the bass output of speakers.
