PHASE CONTROL - This switch pennits you to set or reverse the subwoofer output to o (in phase) or 180 (out of phase). This will correct for possible mismatch (boominess or lack of output) between the subwoofer and your main speakers. The best way to make this adjustment is to listen and pay close attention to the low frequency output. The correct position will produce clear and even bass response. Most often the correct setting will be at "0".
Connections and Installation One of the features of James Loudspeaker subwoofers is that you have a number of installation options. Please read the information in this section to determine which installation option is best for your system. !! TURN OFF THE POWER TO YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM PRIOR TO INSTALLATION !! LOW-LEVEL (LINE-LEVEL) CONNECTION - Install the supplied RCA type Yconnector to both Low Level Left and Right Inputs of the subwoofer.
Placement Subwoofers produce "non-directional" audio frequencies. Unlike other speakers, they produce a sound that does not seem to come from any specific point but this does not mean that you can place your subwoofer anywhere in the room - quite to the contrary. Frequency response and output are influenced by placement. As each room is acoustically unique it is recommended that you experiment with the placement of your James subwoofer to optimize its' performance.
Trouble shooting If a problem should occur, check the following: • • • • • Verify that your subwoofer is plugged in. Is the Power Switch on? Is the unit receiving an input signal? Are all the subwoofer controls properly set? If the power does not come on, unplug the unit and then check the fuse. If all the above has been checked and the unit still will not function, then you may require a trained technician.
