8. Subwoofer Level Control LFE Normal Switch Phase Switch Crossover Frequency Adjustment Line Level LFE Inputs Power Switch A Few Suggestions We recommend that you do not operate your speakers or subwoofer with the bass treble and loudness controls set to full boost This will place undue strain on your electronics and speakers and could damage them The volume control setting on your processor preamp or receiver is not a specific indication of the overall loudness level of the speakers The only important consideration is the loudness level at which the system can be played regardless of where the volume control is set Always turn down the volume control setting on your processor preamp or receiver when changing a cassette or CD or switching inputs to AM or FM operation Excessively loud transients clicks or popping sounds can damage the satellite speakers and possibly the subwoofer Important Whenever changing cables pulling plugs etc ALWAYS TURN OFF ALL EQUIPMENT including the subwoofer TSS 750 SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver processor with a low frequency effects LFE or subwoofer output Subwoofer cable included SUBWOOFER OR LFE OUTPUT wed NORMAL PHASE 180 80Hz CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 50Hz 150Hz 23 L R LINE LEVEL IN For LFE use L or R Set NORMAL LFE switch to
