Congratulations on your purchase of a H-100II powered subwoofer. It will give your stereo system unparalleled low frequency output! Bass frequencies are critical to realistic sound reproduction. After you’ve hooked up your H-100II, you will discover just how much punch and depth you’ve been missing. No matter what kind of music or videos you listen to… whether you listen to them loud or soft, you will experience sound that is richer and fuller. Bass guitar and string bass will have more impact.
H-100II AMPLIFIER PANEL DRAWING B - Amp rear panel
H-100II AMPLIFIER PANEL 1. POWER INDICATOR LED – When the subwoofer is ON, this LED light will be green. When the subwoofer is in the STANDBY mode, it will be red. 2. POWER/AUTO ON SWITCH – This toggle switch turns the subwoofer on and off. When the switch is in the OFF position, the subwoofer will not play. When the switch is in the ON position, the subwoofer will stay on at all times. When the switch is in the AUTO position, the subwoofer will automatically come on when bass frequencies are fed to it.
SUBWOOFER CONNECTION - METHOD A Connecting to Receivers with a SUBWOOFER or LFE Output Jack All Dolby Digital, DTS, THX, and Bass Management equipped receivers have a low level SUBWOOFER or LFE output jack. If you have this, you will use the METHOD A connection as shown below in Drawing C. This is the recommended and easiest connection. If your receiver does not have a low level SUBWOOFER or LFE output jack, you will use METHOD B (Drawing D) on Page 7 to connect your subwoofer to the receiver.
SUBWOOFER CONNECTION-METHOD B Connecting to Receivers with NO SUBWOOFER or LFE Output Jack If your receiver does not have a low level SUBWOOFER or LFE output jack (for example, older Dolby Pro Logic receivers or stereo-only integrated amps), you will use the method shown below in Drawing D to connect your subwoofer to the receiver. For this connection, you will need speaker wire to run from your receiver to sub (for subwoofer HIGH LEVEL INPUTS), and then from the sub to speakers (for OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS).
INITIAL LISTENING TEST It’s now time to test the H-100II subwoofer in your listening environment. 1. Before turning your stereo system and subwoofer on, double-check all connections. 2. Turn the volume controls on both the subwoofer and your audio receiver all the way down (fully counterclockwise) and check that the PHASE SWITCH is set to 0° and CROSSOVER FROM RECEIVER OR SUB SWITCH is set to the proper setting (see Page 5, #7). 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If you are having a problem with your subwoofer, please read through this “Trouble Shooting Guide”. Many times problems are actually caused by other items in the system or the subwoofer’s interaction with those items. These problems can easily be resolved with this guide. Problem 1) HUMMING OR BUZZING NOISE Cause Solution You have a Ground Loop or problem with other equipment. This causes the vast majority of hum related complaints.
Problem 4) NO OUTPUT FROM SUB Cause AC power is not getting to the amplifier. LED DOES NOT LIGHT UP • Make sure the switch on the back of the sub is in the “ON” position. • Check that you are using the correct power cord and that it is plugged in securely at both ends and make sure that the AC outlet the subwoofer is plugged into is working. Try another power cord. Fuse is blown or subwoofer amplifier is not working.
CARING FOR YOUR H-100II The H-100II enclosure is finished in a very high quality polymer laminate covering that is both attractive and excellent protection for the wood cabinet. To remove dirt or fingerprints use a damp, soft cloth. You may also use high-quality furniture polish on the wood laminate to maintain the original luster. Converting H-100II to 220-240 Volt Operation The H-100II can be converted to 220-240 volt operation. For instructions, email bicamericaservice@gmail.
