ADJUSTING THE BALANCE
1.
Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).
2.
Turn on the power to the component(s) connected to the subwoofer.
If the component is connected to the subwoofer’s SYSTEM CONNECTOR jack, turn
on the power to that component.
3.
Make sure that the POWER switch is set to the ON position, then set the STANDBY/
ON switch to ON.
* The indicator lights green.
4.
Play a source that contains low-frequency components and adjust the output level of
the front speakers using the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening level.
(Set all tone controls to flat.)
5.
Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where the desired response can be
obtained.
Normally, set the control to a level a little higher than the front speaker’s rated
minimum reproducible frequency*.
* The front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible frequency can be looked up in the speakers’ catalog
or owner’s manual.
* The HIGH CUT control has no effect on signals input to the INPUT 3 LFE terminal.
6.
Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume balance between the subwoofer and
the front speakers.
Normally, set the control to a level where you can obtain a little more bass effect than
when the subwoofer is not used.
7.
Set the PHASE switch to the position which yields the more natural (or preferable)
phasing.
8.
Set the B.A.S.S. switch to “MOVIE” or “MUSIC” according to the played source.
(NS-SW300 only)
MOVIE:
When a movie type source is played, the low-frequency effects are enhanced to allow
listeners to enjoy a more powerful sound. (The sound will be richer and deeper.)
MUSIC:
When an ordinary music source is played, the excessive low-frequency components are
cut off to make the sound clearer. (The sound will carry less bass and reproduce the
melody line more clearly.)
Note
Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers is adjusted, you can
adjust the volume of your entire sound system by using the amplifier’s volume control.
However, if you replace the front speakers, you will need to make this adjustment again.
PHASE switch
In most situations, set this switch to select the reverse mode. However, depending
on your speaker systems or listening condition, there may be a case when better
sound quality is obtained by selecting the normal mode. Select the better mode by
monitoring the sound.
