MS8 SUB - Volume Control
The volume control on the rear panel of the MS8 SUB (figure 7)
should normally be set to the MAX or FULL CLOCKWISE setting.
A/V home theater receivers have built in settings for volume level
for subwoofer and satellite speakers. The settings for the volume
volume can be adjusted in the on screen menu for your A/V home
theater receiver. By setting the MS8 SUB in this way the correct
output level will be applied in your A/V home theater receiver and
not in the subwoofer.
Further adjustment of the subwoofers level can be made using the
built in Volume Control. When setting the subwoofer’s Volume
control by ear, try to find a volume setting where the bass sounds
balanced on both music and films. Listen to several different music
recordings and film soundtracks that contain strong bass passages
and try to find a setting for the Volume Control that doesn’t over-
emphasize the bass or make it sound weak.
MS8 SUB - Auto-On
The subwoofer is in the STANDBY mode whenever its power cord
is plugged-into a live AC outlet. When the subwoofer detects an
audio signal it will automatically turn ON (the rear-panel On/
Standby Indicator will illuminate Blue).
The subwoofer will continue to remain ON for approximately 15
minutes after no signal is detected on its input, then it will return to
STANDBY (the rear-panel On/Standby Indicator will illuminate Red).
