10. Mains Power Switch The Mains Power Switch should be switched to the ‘Off’ position when the Apex AW-12 will not be used for extended periods. The switch must be in the ‘On’ position for the subwoofer to function. WARNING: Due to the mains switch being located on the rear panel, the apparatus must be located in the open area with no obstructions to access the mains switch.
Positioning/Initial Set Up Leave the AW-12 unplugged from the mains until the installation procedure is completed. The AW- 12 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom.
On position, and the signal source is turned on? Try adjusting the volume level of the source. If it still does not turn on/ power up, please contact your local dealer/ distributor or Monitor Audio immediately. No sound from AW-12.
The equipment should be returned in its original packaging to the original supplier where possible, or to any other authorised Monitor Audio dealer.
