7. Betjening

7.1 Indledende tænding

Indstil Strømtilstand skifte til AUTO. The subwoofer will power on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby mode after approximately 15-20 minutes of no signal.

7.2 Justering af betjeningselementer

• Lydstyrke: Start with the volume knob at its lowest setting. Play audio and gradually increase the volume until the subwoofer blends seamlessly with your main speakers without overpowering them.
• Lavpasfilter: Adjust this knob to set the crossover frequency. A common starting point is 80Hz, but this may vary depending on your main speakers. If your receiver has a built-in crossover for the subwoofer, set the subwoofer's low-pass filter to its maximum setting (or bypass if available) and manage the crossover through the receiver.
• Faseomskifter: Experiment with both 0° and 180° settings. Choose the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response at your listening position. This often involves listening to a bass-heavy track and switching between the two settings to hear which sounds fuller and more integrated.

8. Vedligeholdelse

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre subwooferens yderside. Brug ikke flydende rengøringsmidler eller aerosolspray, da de kan beskadige overfladen eller de indvendige komponenter.
• Ventilation: Kontrollér regelmæssigt, at ventilationsåbningerne er fri for støv og snavs for at forhindre overophedning.
• Kabelforbindelser: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Loose connections can lead to poor sound quality or intermittent operation.
• Opbevaring: Hvis subwooferen opbevares i længere tid, skal den afbrydes fra strømmen og opbevares et køligt og tørt sted.
