System Setup and Operation InWall Subwoofer System Power Connection Connect the power cord to an AC outlet only after making all other connections to the subwoofer. This will avoid any chance of accidentally activating the subwoofer while wiring. DO NOT PLUG THE SA-350 OR SA-700 INTO THE SWITCHED OUTLET OF AN AMPLIFIER, PREAMPLIFIER, OR RECEIVER. The power demands of these amplifiers is substantial and will exceed the power rating of the switched outlet and may damage the equipment.
Operation 13 Instruction Manual ing position to evaluate the sound. Pay particular attention to the deep bass as well as the transition of bass from the subwoofer to the satellite speakers. You can also listen to a musical source such as a CD or DVD, with strong bass content that spans the range from deep bass to mid bass (a well recorded jazz disc with someone playing a full stand up bass is always a good choice).
Remote Control Functions InWall Subwoofer System When using the latest discrete digital electronics we recommend setting the subwoofer amplifier’s BASS LEVEL control to its THX/ REF position and using the Processor/Receiver’s built-in subwoofer level control. Should you have difficulty achieving the correct subwoofer volume this way or should your Processor/Receiver not have a subwoofer level adjustment built in, you can use the subwoofer amplifier’s main BASS LEVEL control to make this adjustment.
Specifications 15 Instruction Manual Care and Feeding of Your Subwoofer IMPORTANT: Save Your Boxes! If you can do so, save the carton, packing pieces and plastic bags that came with your subwoofer. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your subwoofer for any reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are certain that the system has suffered no damage in shipment.
