Subwoofer Phase Switch 

When the subwoofer is properly in phase with the soundbar speakers, the sound will be 

clearer and have more impact. In-phase performance will make percussive sounds like 

drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. Although there is no absolutely 

correct setting for the subwoofer’s Phase switch, in most cases it should be left in the 

“Normal” position. The best way to set the Phase switch is to listen to music that you 

are familiar with and adjust the switch so that drums and other percussive sounds have 

maximum impact.

This area is designed to become 

quite warm during normal operation

For the best sound, we recommend turning your TV’s built-in speakers off. Consult your 

TV’s owner’s manual to find out how to do it. If there is no way to turn your TV’s speakers 

off, you can adjust your TV’s volume so that the SB 30 system will always supply most 

of the sound:

1.  Using the volume buttons on your TV, turn its volume all the way down.
2.  Then use the soundbar’s Volume Up/Down buttons to set the sound to a comfortable 

listening level.

Selecting an Input Source

Press the Source button on the soundbar or the remote control to switch among the three 

sources: optical digital, coaxial digital and analog.
