The pad should be replaced before carrying out the levelling operation previously described. Positioning The Gold W15 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. Once a desirable position is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably without being under tension. Leave the Gold W15 unplugged until you are happy with it’s location. -

AmplifierPanelandDisplay Notes: 1. SILKSCREENED COOL GREY 1c 2. IMAGE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY. 3. VERSION 8 RCA Line Level Inputs (Stereo Left & Right) For connection to a 2 channel/ stereo amplifier system. Connection should be provided by a pair of high-quality signal cables from the pre-out section of an amplifier. Switching between the Stereo input and LFE is done automatically. The LFE will take priority if a LFE and Stereo signal is presented at the same time. Note:- cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other electrical appliances. RCA Line Level Outputs (Stereo Left & Right) To be used to feed additional sub-woofers in addition to the Gold W15 by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The outputs are link out only connections and do not provide any form of filtering. LFE Input (RCA Type) This input is to be used when connecting the Gold W15 to an AV amplifier/ receiver. When using the LFE input, the crossover function in the menu/ set-up is not used. This is due to the crossover function being controlled by the AV amplifier/ processor to which it is connected. - Page 7 LFE Output/ Link (RCA Type) To be used to feed additional sub-woofers in addition to the Gold W15 by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The output is a link out only connection and does not provide any form of filtering. USB Connector This is provided to update the firmware in the Gold W15. 12 Volt Trigger Input ~ Centre Pin = +12Vdc. For external power control from AV amplifier/ Receiver to the Gold W15 (2 metre lead supplied). This 12 volt signal is supplied by the AV amp/ receiver and tells the Gold W15 to turn on from standby mode. This allows a more accurately controlled method of the auto on/ off function. It is also a lot more energy efficient. The stand by function on the remote will not be operable when using the +12v trigger. Power LED This LED indicates that the mains power is connected and turned on. If the LED is RED, the Gold W15 is in stand-by mode waiting to receive an audio signal, an instruction from the encoder/ remote or a signal from the 12v trigger. If it is green, the unit is operational and the display will show a single red dot (default operational display).
