Phase adjustment- 0˚ to 180˚ This control allows you to "delay" the phase of the subwoofer's output signal up to 180˚ to correct for any possible mismatch & resulting cancellation between the subwoofer and your main speakers/amplifier. To adjust, simply listen to the system with music playing. Then rotate the knob from one end to the other and listen for a change in low frequency output. The correct position will have a greater amount of apparent low frequency output. Auto turn on function With

Placement True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies which are primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the subwoofer be placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers, room and system conditions often dictate otherwise. Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer is tucked away in a corner of your listenin
