Power LED (on top of unit): The Power LED's color indicates the subwoofer's operational
status:
• Blue: The subwoofer is operational.
• Amber: The subwoofer is in the Standby mode.
• Off: The subwoofer is turned off.
Phase switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver's piston-like action
moves in and out in phase with the speakers in the soundbar. If the subwoofer were
to play out of phase with the soundbar speakers, the sound waves from the soundbar
could cancel out some of the sound waves from the subwoofers, reducing bass
performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of
the subwoofer and soundbar relative to each other in the room. See Subwoofer Phase
Switch , on page 11, for more information.
Volume control: Use this control to balance the subwoofer's volume with that of
the soundbar. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer's volume; turn it
counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer's volume. See Subwoofer Volume Control ,
on page 10, for more information.
