English OWNER'S MANUAL 6. If you notice any of the following, you may need to adjust the subwoofer input sensitivity setting: • 'LIMIT' appears regularly on the subwoofer display. • The subwoofer distorts at peaks in the audio signal. • The subwoofer volume is at the maximum setting (40) and is still not loud enough. To adjust the input sensitivity setting, see Changing the Input Sensitivity Setting. Changing the Input Sensitivity Setting Perform the following steps to adjust the input sensitivity setting: 1. Press and hold the Phase button on the back panel for 5 seconds to enter Edit mode. 2. Release the button when the status indicator blinks blue. 3. Press the Low Pass Filter Up/Down button to select an input sensitivity setting (-12 dB, -6 dB or 0 dB will appear on the front display). Note: You will likely not need to change this setting unless you are using the subwoofer with vintage or atypical audio equipment. 4. Press and hold the Phase button on the back panel for 5 seconds to save the setting. 5. Play content and listen to the sound to verify the subwoofer volume is now to your liking. Readjust the volume and input sensitivity settings as needed. Selecting EQ Modes The three equalization (EQ) modes are variations in frequency response. They allow you to adjust for program material differences. Use the setting(s) that best suite your listening preferences. 1. Loud: This is the best setting to use when achieving maximum volume levels with minimal distortion. Use when volume is more important than playing lowest frequencies. 2. Deep: This setting maximizes the deepest octave bass response at the sacrifice of maximum volume level. CAUTION: This setting should not be used at high-volume levels. 3. Flat: This setting is the recommended starting point. No changes to subwoofer EQ are applied. 17
