If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a  
room, the bass could be extremely weakened.  
This is due to the influence of the standing wave  
of the room. If this happens, move the  
subwoofer away from the center of the room or  
eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by  
installing a bookshelf on the wall for example.  
select the phase polarity. Selecting the polarity at  
either 0˚ or 180˚ may determine better bass  
reproduction effect in certain listening  
environments (depending on the type of front  
speakers and the position of the subwoofer). It  
also may change the expense and tightness of  
the sound, and affect the feeling of the sound  
field. Select the setting that provides the sound  
you prefer when you are in your normal listening  
position.  
IMPORTANT!  
Before you operate the subwoofer,  
complete the preparation procedures.  
Switch on your mini system and select the  
sound source.  
Repeat the adjustment forVolume and Phase  
Polarity to suit your preference.After you have  
adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you  
desire, use theVOLUME control on the mini  
system to adjust the volume of the subwoofer  
and the other speakers. You will not need to  
adjust the subwoofer settings again even when  
you change the volume level of the mini system.
