    Page 11 Subwoofer Volume Control Volume: Adjusts the sound level of the subwoofer. If you are using the speaker-level connections, begin with a setting at about the 10:00 o’clock position. When using the line-level connections, begin with a setting around 11:00 o’clock. Your actual setting may vary due to personal taste, program material, and subwoofer placement.

The speaker’s MagnaGuard The front of the speaker should be flush with the front of the television.

  • Page 13: Setting Up Your Home Theater System

    Start by sticking one in each recess located at the two rear corners (see below). This will stabilize the speaker and angle it downward slightly. If you wish to remove this angle, either stick one more foot to the front center directly behind the center of the logo plate or stick a foot on either front corner, directly in-line with the rear feet (see below).
  • Page 14: Troubleshooting

    If necessary, replace the fuse with a same-type fuse or consult a service technician. Listening Levels and Power Handling The power recommendation for the speaker assumes the amplifier is not overdriven, which, over a long period, can damage even our rugged speakers. If you hear a harsh, gritty noise, turn down the volume control.
