As long as the surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will rest on its rubber bumpers. PLaciNg tHe suBWOOFer The performance of a subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the listening room and its physical position relative to the other speakers in the system. While it is true that in general, our ears do not hear directional sounds at the low frequencies where subwoofers operate, when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room, the reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room will strongly influence the performance of any subwoofer system. As a result, the specific location of the subwoofer in the room does become important to the amount and quality of bass that is produced. For example, placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will increase the amount of bass in the room; placing it in a corner (1) generally will maximize amount of bass in the room. However, corner placement can also increase the destructive effect of standing waves on bass performance. To pair the units, press the Wireless Pairing switches on both units within 30 seconds. The units will communicate with each other and operate at the same frequency. Phase 0° 180° Press the Power button on either the soundbar or the remote to turn the soundbar on.

The subwoofer will automatically attempt to establish pairing with the soundbar (the subwoofer's LED will flash blue). If pairing is not established within one minute, the subwoofer will enter the Standby mode (its LED will turn amber). If pairing is established, the subwoofer will turn on (its LED will light blue continuously). The subwoofer will remain on for approximately one minute after the soundbar enters the Standby mode, or for approximately 15 minutes after the audio signal ceases. NOTE: The maximum wireless operating distance between the soundbar and subwoofer is approximately 50 feet (15. 3m).

Play music or movies that you are familiar with, and adjust the subwoofer's Level knob so the bass sounds balanced on both music and films. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the soundbar speakers, some of the sound waves produced by the soundbar and subwoofer 40Hz 200Hz could be canceled out at some frequencies, reducing bass Pairing performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of the soundbar and subwoofer in the room. Phase 0° 180° Although there is no absolutely correct setting for the Phase switch, in most cases it should be left in the "0°" position. [. . . ]
