English OPERATING THE SUBWOOFER TURNING THE SUBWOOFER ON AND OFF SUBWOOFER ADJUSTMENTS: PHASE Set the subwoofer’s Power Switch to the “On” position. The Phase Switch determines whether the subwoofer driver’s piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves from the satellites could partially cancel out the waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass performance and sonic impact.
