Switching the subwoofer on/off You switch the Individual Sound loudspeaker system on in position “I – ON” with the ON/OFF switch . If the subwoofer is connected as described on page 15, there is no need to switch the subwoofer on and off separately any more. After switching on the subwoofer for the fi rst time, it is always switched on and off immediately with the Loewe TV set. Settings on the Loewe TV set Make the necessary settings on your Loewe Auro Preceiver as described in the Auro operating manual in the chapter “Initial start-up”. Phase switch/bass intensity The “Phase” switch and the “Bass intensity” knob enable you to optimize bass reproduction. We recommend you to proceed as follows: If the subwoofer is in the corner of the room, set the bass intensity knob to “Min”. If the subwoofer is against a wall, set the bass intensity knob to the center position. If the subwoofer is standing freely in the room, set the bass intensity knob to “Max”. Start DVD playback for example and select a title with bass parts. Have a second person activate the phase switch whilst you sit and listen. Decide for yourself which switch position reproduces the best bass sound. Set the bass intensity to suit your taste if necessary.
