If it is distorted, the sound from the subwoofer also will be distorted. 2 Play your favorite songs.

Selecting the polarity at either 0˚ or 180˚ may determine better bass reproduction effect in certain listening environments (depending on the type of front speakers and the position of the subwoofer). It also may change the expense and tightness of the sound, and affect the feeling of the sound field. Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when you are in your normal listening position. Repeat the adjustment for Volume and Phase Polarity to suit your preference. After you have adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you desire, use the VOLUME control on the mini system to adjust the volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers. You will not need to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when you change the volume level of the mini system. pg 001-033/P900/37-Eng 13 13 12/8/00, 1:53 PM 3139 115 20411
