    INFINITY REFERENCE CHAPTER 3: OPERATIONS Setting the input levels: To match your amplifier’s input sensitivity (gain) to your source unit’s output level, we recommend the following procedure: A. Turn both input level controls counterclockwise to MIN (minimum). B. Play a dynamic music track through your source unit. Turn the source unit’s volume control to the 3/4 position.
  • Page 14: Chapter 4: Troubleshooting

    Selecting the subwoofer phase You can choose a subwoofer phase output of 0° or 180°. To check your sub's phase, play music with lots of bass and listen as another person slowly flips the 0/180 degree phase switch back and forth. The correct setting is the one that gives you more bass. If you don't detect any real difference, leave the switch in the 0 setting.
