Models 222 PBM, 262 PBM and 352 PBM THX Atlantic TECHNOLOGY Operation First, with your receiver/amplifier’s power off, set the subwoofer’s volume by turning the variable input level control on the front of the unit to the 8:00 o’clock position, and the low pass control on the back panel set to 80. Next, turn on your system and play some music. Adjust the input level and low pass filter until the bass seems smoothly integrated between the subwoofer(s) and the main speakers without being overpowering.
