Subwoofer Operation - JBL CSB6 Owner's Manual

SUBWOOfER OpERAtION

Press the Master Power switch (marked "Power" å) to the On position to use the subwoofer. The CSS11 subwoofer
will automatically turn on or go into Standby (sleep) mode as described below. When your receiver or amplifier is off, or
is not sending program material to the subwoofer, the subwoofer will be in standby mode (the LED on the front of the
CSS11 will be red). When the subwoofer senses an audio signal, it will automatically turn on (the LED will be green). If
the subwoofer does not sense a signal after approximately 20 minutes, it will automatically go into Standby mode.
If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if the subwoofer will not be used, switch the Master
Power switch å to the Off position by pressing it until it pops out.
VOLUME
MIN MAX MIN MAX
Volume may be adjusted using the Subwoofer Level control ∫, as shown.
PHASE
The Phase control determines whether the subwoofer's pistonlike action moves in and out in phase with the main
speakers or opposite the main speakers. There is no correct or incorrect setting. Proper phase adjustment depends
on several variables, such as subwoofer placement and listener position. Adjust the Phase switch ç to maximize bass
output at the listening position.
Remember, every system, room and listener is different. There are no right or wrong settings; this switch offers the
flexibility to adjust your subwoofer to optimum performance for your specific listening conditions without moving
your speakers. If at some time in the future you happen to rearrange your listening room and move your speakers,
you should experiment with the phase switch in both positions and leave it in the position that maximizes bass
performance.
