Subwoofer-Level Control:
Volume
may be adjusted using the
Subwoofer-Level
Control
. Turn the control clockwise to increase
the SUB-TS’s volume, or counterclockwise to
decrease it.
High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch:
Plac-
ing this switch in the
O N
position activates cir-
cuitry that cuts out all audio input signals above
120Hz. This allows the SUB-TS to focus its power
on reproducing the low-frequency portion of the
signal, avoiding inefficiency and distortion.
Engage this filter when using the
Speaker-
Level Inputs
, or when using the
Line-
Level Full-Range Inputs
, unless your
receiver or processor processes its line-level out-
put using a low-pass filter. The filter has no
effect when the
Sub Input
is used.
Music-Sense On/Off Switch:
When
placed in the
AUTO
position, and when the
Master Power Switch
is turned on, the
SUB-TS will automatically turn itself on or place
itself in the Standby mode, depending on
whether it is receiving an audio signal. When
this switch is placed in the
O N
position, the
SUB-TS will remain on, whether or not it is
receiving an audio signal.
An LED located on top of the SUB-TS indicates
whether the SUB-TS is in the On or standby
state when used with the
Music-Sense On/Off
Switch
in the
AUTO
position. The LED is lit
blue to indicate that the SUB-TS is receiving an
audio signal and is turned on, and the LED is lit
amber to indicate that no signal is being
received and the SUB-TS is in Standby mode.
When the
Music-Sense On/Off Switch
is
in the
O N
position, the LED will be lit blue,
whether or not an audio signal is present.
When the
Master Power Switch
is turned
off, the LED goes dark, no matter which position
the
Music-Sense On/Off Switch
is in.
Phase Switch:
This switch determines
whether the SUB-TS subwoofer’s piston-like
action moves in and out in phase with the main
speakers. If the speakers were to play out of
phase, the sound waves produced by the sub-
woofer would be cancelled out, reducing bass
response. This phenomenon depends in part on
the relative placement of the speakers in the
room. In most cases, the
Phase Switch
should be left in the
NORMAL
position. How-
ever, it does no harm to experiment with the
Phase Switch
, and you may leave it in the
position that maximizes bass response.
