Understanding Subwoofers Before we get into finding a location for the SUB-1500 and making any connections, we want to be sure we explain some fundamental principles about subwoofer performance. Simply hooking up a subwoofer to an audio system like a loudspeaker can significantly compromise the performance of the subwoofer, and at times even make the system sound worse.
The SUB-1500 is not magnetically shielded and may damage a TV if placed in very close proximity. If you suspect or see any color distortion anywhere on a nearby TV, the SUB-1500 may be too close and should be moved away from the TV until the color distortion disappears.
Getting Started Unpacking After unpacking the SUB-1500, you will have the SUB-1500 subwoofer, an AC mains power cable and this quick start guide. It is recommended to keep the original packaging material in the case that re-shipping becomes necessary. SUB-1500...
Symmetrical Placement Avoid putting the SUB-1500 the same distance from two walls. For example, if you have a 20' wide room, don't put the SUB-1500 10' from each wall. Similarly, don't put the SUB-1500 at equal distances from the floor to ceiling.

However, if you want to place your subwoofer in the proper position, read on. The quickest way to place your SUB-1500 is to wire it up and place it in your favorite listening position, or the position where you'll be listening most of the time.
Benefit: You are able to connect and benefit from the SUB-1500 without the need of an amplifier with RCA pre-outs. Use if: • Your amp or receiver does not offer line-level or pre-out jacks.
Connecting to a Device with Separate Components If you only have one set of pre-outs on your receiver/mixer and need to send the signal to the SUB-1500 and another device, first send the signal to the SUB-1500 via the LINE IN (RCA) jacks. Next, from the LINE OUT (RCA) jacks, connect a patch cable to the AUDIO INPUT jacks on your other external device.
CORRECTLY PRIOR TO USING THE SUB-1500, YOU MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. SELECT 110V for North American based power and 240V for European based power. 10. AC MAINS terminal - For connecting the SUB-1500 to your AC power outlet.
With the VOLUME control at minimum (fully counter-clockwise) plug your SUB-1500's power cord into any AC compatible wall outlet. The red power indicator LED will stay on as long as the SUB-1500 is plugged-in. If for any reason you do not want your SUB-1500 on, simply place it in AUTO-MODE by moving the switch to AUTO to have it turn itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity, or unplug it.
Troubleshooting Problem • No Sound Only from Subwoofer • Too Little Bass • Too Much Bass • Hum Solution • Check the subwoofer's volume setting and all connections. If your receiver has a subwoofer on/off or variable subwoofer output level control, ensure that the subwoofer option it is turned on and that the output level is at maximum.
