    You should turn the INPUT SENSITIVITY control on the back of the cabinet down (fully counterclockwise) before turning on the HRS120 for the first time. Also be sure to set the power switch on the rear panel off (down). This will prevent you from accidentally connecting a hot signal source to the subwoofer and getting a rude surprise.

  • Page 6: Placement

    Some prefer to use two subwoofers and place one with the left speaker and the other with the right speaker. The Master Out/Slave In connections on the HRS120 allow you to do this quite easily. Another benefit of corner placement is in- creased efficiency and lower distortion.

This is useful for making a quick compari- son between the HRS120 enhanced and non-enhanced low-frequency playback. REMOTE INDICATOR This is a 1/4" jack for connecting a remote indicator to indicate when the subwoofer is by- passed.
