Getting Started

Unpacking

Check that you received the following items: Audio connecting cord (1), Speaker cord (2)

Installation

Install the woofer wherever you like because with the bass sound range reproduced from the woofer (below 150 Hz), human hearing cannot detect the direction and position in which the sound is being produced. Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass frequencies, a single woofer is enough for reproducing the bass of stereo channels. To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend that you install the woofer on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur.

  • Always install the woofer vertically, keeping a few centimeters from away the wall.
  • Do not place an object on the woofer or sit on it.
  • If the woofer is installed in the center of a room, the bass could be extreamely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happened, move the woofer away from the center of a room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by installing a bookshelf on the wall, etc.

Hooking Up the System

Use either the INPUT 1 jack or the INPUT 2 terminals of the woofer when you connect the amplifier.

  • If your amplifier has one of the following types of output jacks, connect the INPUT 1 jack and the amplifier's jack using the supplied audio connecting cord: MONO OUT jack, MIX OUT jack, SUB WOOFER output jack(s), SUPER WOOFER output jack(s).
  • If your amplifier does not have the above mentioned output jacks, connect the speaker terminals of the amplifier to the INPUT 2 terminals instead.

Basic Operations

Listening to the Sound

  1. Turn on the amplifier and select the program source.
  2. Press POWER. The woofer turns on and the POWER indicator lights up in green.
  3. Play the program source. Adjust the VOLUME so that sound from front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the sound from the woofer will also be distorted.

Adjusting the Sound

  1. Play your favorite song.
  2. Adjust the volume level of the woofer.
  3. Adjust the cut-off frequency.
  4. Select the phase polarity.
  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to adjust for your preference.

Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem Solution
There's no sound. Check that this woofer and components are connected correctly and securely. Rotate LEVEL clockwise to turn the volume up.
The sound has suddenly stopped. The speaker cords may have short-circuited. Connect the cords properly.
The sound is distorted. The input signal is imperfect. The input signal level is too high.
Severe hum or noise is heard. Connect the ground wire of the turntable properly. The contacts between the plugs of the connecting cords and the corresponding jacks have not been made properly. Connect the plugs firmly. The audio system is picking up some noise from a TV set. Move the audio system away from the TV set or turn the TV set off.
