RNAL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
1.
After having turned on the main power switch select the correct position for
the 8 POWER MODE, either On or Auto depending on your system. The Auto
selection will leave the unit in a self-sensing mode, such that should the unit
sense an audio signal it will turn itself on and then shut down after several
minutes without signal, while in the On position the subwoofer always remains
on. Should the system not be used for an extensive period of time, it is recom-
mended that the subwoofer be unplugged from the AC.
2.
Adjust the
«»
VOLUME LEVEL of your ENERGY subwoofer so that the volume
of your subwoofer matches the overall system volume. This ensures a smooth
transition between the low and high frequencies of your system.
3.
Adjust the
e
LOW-PASS FILTER on your ENERGY subwoofer so that the fre-
quency range of the subwoofer blends well with that of the front speakers. Set-
ting the crossover too low will create agap between the frequency response
of the front speakers and that of the subwoofer, while setting the crossover
frequency too high will create a doubling of certain frequencies, making the
music sound boomy. When using small satellite speakers, the appropriate
crossover frequency should be from 90Hz to 120Hz, for the bookshelf speak-
ers 70Hz to 90Hz and for the large f100rstanding speakers 40Hz to 70Hz.

Steps 2 and 3 might require repeating in order to fine tune your system. Ensur-
ing the proper blending between the speakers and the subwoofer is critical to
the performance of your system, as awhole.
