Presetting the Volume

You need to preset the volume level of this speaker (SP-
PW2000) to match those of the main speakers (SP-
VSDT2000). Once you preset the volume level, it is stored
as your reference level and the volume level of this speaker
will be able to automatically change as the volume level of
the Center Unit (CA-VSDT2000) changes.

“MIN” position.

Automatic Operating Status On/Off

To save energy, the Subwoofer enters the Standby mode if
no (or very weak) sound signals come into the Subwoofer
for about 5 minutes. In Standby mode, the STANDBY/ON
indicator of the Subwoofer lights in 

red

When sound signals come in again, the Subwoofer enters
the Operating mode and reproduces the sounds. The
STANDBY/ON indicator will light in 

green

 again.

Standby mode in the following cases:
— when the VOLUME of the Subwoofer is set near “MIN” 
position.
— when the volume of the amplifier is set to “0” or the 
sound signals from the amplifier are extremely weak.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn off the POWER of the Pow-

ered Subwoofer when the Powered Sub-
woofer is not in use for an extended period
of time.
