HOME CINEMA PACKAGES MX 980, MX 999

Additionally to the standard supplies the Home Cinema

packages MX 980, MX 999 contain:

– a subwoofer including a connection cable and a mains

cable

– 5 loudspeakers including 5 speaker cables

– a coaxial cable for video connection with a DVD player or a

TV set

– a quick installation card

For the standard supplies of your receiver see chapter

“GENERAL INFORMATION / Scope of supply” in the

instruction manual.

• Install the subwoofer wherever you like because with the

bass sound range reproduced from the subwoofer (below

150 Hz) human hearing cannot detect the direction and

position where the sound is being produced.

• Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass

frequencies, a single subwoofer is enough for reproducing

the bass of stereo channels.

• To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend that

you place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance

is unlikely to occur.

• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping a few

centimeters away from the wall.

• Do not place any object on the subwoofer or sit on it.

• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass

could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence

of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the

subwoofer away from the center of the room or eliminate

the cause of the standing wave by installing a bookshelf on

the wall, etc.

Important!

Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the preparation

procedures. Switch on your receiver and select the sound

source.

The type plate is located on the rear of the subwoofer.

1 Use the cinch cable supplied to connect AUDIO IN to

SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT on the receiver.

2 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type

plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,

consult your dealer or service organization.

3 After all connections have been made, connect the

AC mains cable to the receiver or the wall outlet.

To disconnect the subwoofer from the mains completely,

remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

1 To activate the subwoofer, set the on/off switch at the rear

of the subwoofer to ON position.

2 Rotate VOLUME clockwise until there is a click.

yThe LED indicator lights up in green.

If the subwoofer is not to be used for a longer period of time,

it is advisable to set the on/off switch to OFF position.

• Rotate VOLUME anticlockwise until there is a click.

yThe LED indicator light turns red.

You can adjust the subwoofer to suit the sound level of your

front speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a

greater sense of atmosphere.

1 Adjust the VOLUME on the receiver until the sound from

the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the

sound from the subwoofer will also be distorted.

2 Play your favourite songs. Male vocal tunes containing bass

sounds are most suitable for adjustment.

3 Adjust the VOLUME on the subwoofer to determine the

loudness of the bass sound from the subwoofer.

• Use PHASE SELECTOR located

at the rear of the subwoofer to

select the phase polarity.

Selecting the polarity at either 0° or 180° may determine

better bass reproduction effect in certain listening

environments (depending on the type of front speakers and the

position of the subwoofer). It may also change the expanse

and tightness of sound, and affect the feeling of sound field.

• Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when

listening in your usual listening position. Repeat the

adjustment for volume and phase polarity to suit your

preference.

Once you have adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you

desire, use the VOLUME control on the receiver to adjust the

volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers. You do not

need to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when you

change the volume level of the receiver.
