PERATION
Power On
Connect your signal source (such as an A/V receiver or preamplifier)
to the transmitter (if using wireless connection) or to the subwoofer
(if using wired connection).Two single-RCA cords are provided. While
you would ordinarily use the short cable to connect to the transmitter
or the long one to connect to the subwoofer, either cable can be
used, depending on proximity to the signal source.There is no need
or benefit gained from connecting the same source to both the
transmitter and the subwoofer. However, you could connect two
separate sources to this subwoofer by utilizing both its wired and
wireless connections. Both signals will essentially be mixed and
outputted by the subwoofer. Plug your transmitter's (if using wireless
connection) and subwoofer's AC cord into a wall outlet. Do not use the
outlets on the back of the receiver for the subwoofer.

Turn on your sub by pressing the Power Switch
Turn on your entire audio system and start a CD or movie soundtrack
at a moderate level.
Auto On/Standby
Transmitter (wireless connection only):The Power Indicator LED
(not shown) will be lit in red when the unit is in standby. When the
transmitter receives an audio signal from the source, it will immediately
turn on and the LED will turn to blinking green or solid green:
RED = STANDBY (No signal detected, transmitter off)
GREEN (BLINKING) = Transmitter is on but has not established a link
with the wireless sub.
GREEN (SOLID) = Transmitter is on and has already established a link
with the wireless sub.
The transmitter will automatically enter Standby mode after approximately
10 minutes when no signal is detected from your system.
Subwoofer: With the Power Switch
Indicator LED ¢ on the back panel will remain lit to indicate the
On/Standby mode of the subwoofer.
RED = STANDBY (No signal detected, amp off)
GREEN = SUB ON (Wired signal detected, amp on)
ORANGE = SUB ON (Wireless link with transmitter active)
The subwoofer will automatically enter Standby mode after
approximately 10 minutes when no signal is detected from your
system.The subwoofer will then power on instantly when a signal is
detected. During periods of normal use, the Power Switch
left on.You may turn off the Power Switch
nonoperation, e.g., when you are away on vacation.
Getting Started
Confirm that the Status LED on the transmitter (not shown) is on (red
or green) and the Status (Power Indicator) LED
is on (red, orange or green) and that an RCA cable is connected
from a source unit to either the LFE Input
H
transmitter or L and R inputs
video. Use a selection that has ample bass information. If using a
wireless connection, the Status LED on the transmitter should be lit
in solid green, and the Status LED
orange if connected wirelessly. If the LED on the transmitter is blinking
in green and the LED on the subwoofer is in red or green, a wireless
link has not been established between the transmitter and the
subwoofer. If connecting directly to the subwoofer without using the
wireless link, the Status LED
If the LED on the subwoofer remains red, check that the RCA cable from
the source to the subwoofer (wired connection) or transmitter (wireless
connection) is functioning properly (wired connection) and that it is
fully inserted at both ends, or that the Transmitter ID-Code Selector

the subwoofer.
Adjust Level
Set the overall volume control of the preamplifier or stereo to a
comfortable level. Adjust the Subwoofer-Level Control
obtain a pleasing blend of bass. Bass response should not overpower
the room but rather be adjusted so there is a harmonious blend across
the entire musical range. Many users have a tendency to set the
subwoofer volume too loud, adhering to the belief that a subwoofer
is there to produce lots of bass.This is not entirely true. A subwoofer
should enhance bass, extending the response of the entire system
so the bass can be felt as well as heard. However, overall balance
must be maintained or the music will not sound natural. An experienced
listener will set the volume of the subwoofer so its impact on bass
response is always there but is never obtrusive.
Phase Control
ª
The Phase Switch determines whether the subwoofer driver's
piston-like action moves in and out with the main speakers, 0˚, or
opposite the main speakers, 180˚. Proper phase adjustment depends
on several variables such as room size, subwoofer placement and
listener position. Adjust the Phase Switch
at the listening position.
Crossover Adjustment
The Crossover Adjustment Control
at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main speakers can
comfortably reproduce some low-frequency sounds, set this control
to a lower frequency setting, between 50Hz and 100Hz.This will
concentrate the subwoofer's efforts on the ultradeep bass sounds required
by today's films and music. If you are using smaller bookshelf speakers
that do not extend to the lower bass frequencies, set the Crossover
¶
Adjustment Control to a higher setting, between 120Hz and 150Hz.
NOTE: This control will have no effect if the LFE Input
(wired connection) or if the Low-Pass Selector
(wireless connection). If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS processor/
receiver, the low-pass frequency is set by the processor/receiver. Consult
your owner's manual to learn how to view or change this setting.
ID Codes
In the unlikely event that you experience interference when operating
the system, or if you have more than one set of subwoofer transmitters
and receivers in operation, you may change the channel in which the
system operates. On the transmitter module and the subwoofer, there is
a four-position ID-Code Selector (
to one of the other positions.The transmitter and subwoofer (
selectors must be set to the same position for the system to function
correctly.You can also set up a maximum of two subwoofers to be
receiving from the same transmitter by setting the channel selector
on the transmitter and both of the subwoofers to the same channel.
A Word About Wireless Products
The Infinity Classia PSW310W wireless subwoofer utilizes advanced
wireless transceivers operating in the 2.4GHz frequency band.This is
the same frequency band that is used for wireless home networks and
high-quality cordless phones. It also allows for the transmission of high-
performance, full-spectrum sound to remote locations, wirelessly.
Like all wireless devices, the Infinity PSW310W wireless subwoofer's
operating range may vary, depending upon variables such as building
construction methods and materials, atmospheric conditions and other
G
sources of interference. Please consult your Infinity dealer or distributor,
or visit www.infinitysystems.com, for further information or assistance.
