Surround Modes
When using the TSS-450 in a Dolby* Digital or DTS home theater
system, make sure all speakers are set to "Small" . When using the
system in a Dolby Pro Logic* home theater system, make sure the
receiver's center channel mode is set to "Normal. "
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different
setup options for each source or surround mode, e.g., CD-stereo,
videotape, Dolby Digital, Pro Logic. In each case, follow your
equipment's instructions to ensure that the subwoofer output is
turned on and that the speakers are set to "Small" in each mode.
If your receiver has adjustable crossover settings, we recommend
the subwoofer crossover be set between 100Hz –120Hz.

The subwoofer will automatically enter the Stand-By 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

sound emanates from the subwoofer, check the AC-line cord and
input cables.Are the connectors on the cables making proper
contact? Is the AC plug connected to a "live" receptacle? Has the
Power Switch been pressed to the "On" position? Once you
have confirmed that the subwoofer is active, proceed by playing a
CD or DVD. Use a selection that has ample bass information.
Set the overall volume control of the receiver/processor to a
comfortable level. Adjust the Subwoofer Level Control
you 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 is there to 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 never obtrusive.
