SUBWOOFER CROSSOVER CONTROL

The subwoofer's Crossover control adjusts the subwoofer's cutoff
between 40Hz and 200Hz. The higher you set the Crossover
control, the higher in frequency the subwoofer will operate and the
more its bass will "overlap" that of the soundbar. This adjustment
helps achieve a smooth transition of bass frequencies between the
subwoofer and the soundbar for a variety of different rooms and
subwoofer locations. To set the Crossover control, listen for the
smoothness of the bass. If the bass seems too strong at certain
frequencies, try a lower Crossover control setting. If the bass
seems too weak at certain frequencies, try a higher Crossover
control setting.

SUBWOOFER PHASE SWITCH

This switch determines whether the subwoofer'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, some of the sound waves produced by the soundbar
and subwoofer could be canceled out at some frequencies,
reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon
depends in part on the relative placement of the soundbar and
subwoofer in the room. Although there is no absolutely correct
setting for the Phase switch, in most cases it should be left in
the "0°" position. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with
the soundbar speakers, the sound will be clearer and have more
impact. It will make percussive sounds like drums, piano and
plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase
switch is to listen to music that you are familiar with and adjust the
switch so that drums and other percussive sounds have maximum
impact.

USING YOUR OWN TV REMOTE (TV REMOTE
CONTROL LEARNING)
If you are using an HDMI ARC connection to your television, then
your TV remote control will automatically operate the soundbar
for standard commands such as power on/off and volume
control. The JBL CINEMA SB450 supports HDMI CEC and will
interoperate with compatible TV's (check your TV owner's manual
for HDMI CEC compatibility)
If your TV does not support HDMI CEC volume and power control
another option is to program the soundbar to be controlled by
your TV remote control. For example, when you press POWER
ON, you will turn on your TV and soundbar at the same time. This
simplifies your system helps you keep your TV and speaker in
sync.
