Subwoofer-Level Control: Volume
may be adjusted using the Subwoofer-Level
Control. Turn the control clockwise to increase
the SUB-TS's volume, or counterclockwise to
decrease it.
High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch: Plac-
ing this switch in the position activates cir-
ON
cuitry that cuts out all audio input signals above
120Hz. This allows the SUB-TS to focus its power
on reproducing the low-frequency portion of the
signal, avoiding inefficiency and distortion.
Engage this filter when using the Speaker-
Level Inputs , or when using the Line-
Level Full-Range Inputs , unless your
receiver or processor processes its line-level out-
put using a low-pass filter. The filter has no
effect when the Sub Input is used.

Master Power Switch
SUB-TS will automatically turn itself on or place
itself in the Standby mode, depending on
whether it is receiving an audio signal. When
this switch is placed in the
SUB-TS will remain on, whether or not it is
receiving an audio signal.
An LED located on top of the SUB-TS indicates
whether the SUB-TS is in the On or standby
state when used with the Music-Sense On/Off
Switch in the
blue to indicate that the SUB-TS is receiving an
audio signal and is turned on, and the LED is lit
amber to indicate that no signal is being
received and the SUB-TS is in Standby mode.

Phase Switch: This switch determines
whether the SUB-TS subwoofer's piston-like
action moves in and out in phase with the main
speakers. If the speakers were to play out of
phase, the sound waves produced by the sub-
woofer would be cancelled out, reducing bass
response. This phenomenon depends in part on
the relative placement of the speakers in the
room. In most cases, the Phase Switch
should be left in the position. How-
NORMAL
ever, it does no harm to experiment with the
Phase Switch , and you may leave it in the
position that maximizes bass response.
