SETTINGS AND OPERATION — Continued

Using the Remote Receiver Box and Remote Transmitter

The volume and crossover frequency controls can be accessed wirelessly with

the remote transmitter, or manually on the remote receiver box itself. The crossover fre-

quency control will only operate when you are using the low or high level inputs on the

Speedwoofer amplifier. It will not operate when you use the LFE input with an A/V re-

ceiver, because your receiver will control that function. When the frequency control is

functional, experiment with it; set it between 90-120 Hz. You want the setting that best

blends the subwoofer with the satellite speakers. You should never hear the subwoofer

separately; the bass should sound as if it comes from the satellites.

The red indicators on the control knobs indicate that the subwoofer is in standby

mode. The blue indicators mean that the amplifier is on and operating. If you set the

auto/on switch to ‘On’, the indicators will always be blue. In the ‘Auto’ position they will

be red until they receive sound and the amplifier turns on and then they will change to

blue. In the ‘Auto’ mode, If there is no sound for approximately 20 minutes, the amplifier

will go into standby and the indicators will change back to red.

Setting the Subwoofer Volume

The volume of your subwoofer is controlled in three ways. First, most A/V Re-

ceivers offer bass output (or LFE) level controls in their setup menu. Second, the vol-

ume control of your A/V Receiver will control the bass output to your subwoofer. Third

is the volume control for the RSL Speedwoofer, which is located on the remote box.

To set the volume on your RSL Speedwoofer 10

, begin by setting the volume

control on the remote box to the straight up (the 12 o’clock position). Then, go into the

setup menu on your A/V receiver and set its subwoofer volume to suit your tastes. After

that, final adjustments can be made with your remote receiver box.

Setting the Crossover Frequency

In a home theater system, your A/V receiver will be hooked to the LFE input of

the RSL Speedwoofer. This will utilize the crossover function in your A/V receiver in-

stead of the one in your Speedwoofer. If your A/V receiver has a menu choice for the

subwoofer’s crossover frequency, set it to 100 Hz. In rooms where a little more warmth

in the sound may be desired, you can set the subwoofer crossover a little higher. How-

ever, we don’t recommend setting it much higher than 120 Hz. The goal of a subwoofer

should be that it doesn’t intrude. This means your system shouldn’t sound as if there is

a separate subwoofer operating. Setting the crossover at too high of a frequency will

cause the Speedwoofer to become distinguishable.
