Frequently Asked Questions - S 810 SUB JAMO

How to connect the S 810 SUB subwoofer to a surround receiver ?

Connect a subwoofer cable from your receiver's Subwoofer Pre Out output to the LEFT/LFE input on the subwoofer. Ensure the subwoofer is unplugged before making any connections.

What is the best placement for the subwoofer?

For optimal bass, place the subwoofer in a corner of the room, on the same wall as your front speakers. Avoid placing it in the middle of a wall or room as this would reduce bass output.

How to adjust the subwoofer volume?

First set the subwoofer volume to the mid position via the receiver. Then increase the gain on the subwoofer until its output matches that of your main speakers.

How to adjust the low-pass filter cutoff frequency?

For large speakers, set the low-pass filter between 50 and 90 Hz. For bookshelf or satellite speakers, set between 90 and 150 Hz. Turn the filter knob fully clockwise (160 Hz) if using the receiver's adjustment.

What is the purpose of the phase adjustment (0/180)?

This adjustment allows you to align the subwoofer's acoustic level with your main speakers. Select the position (0° or 180°) that produces the most output at the listening position.

How to use the auto power on mode?

Set the POWER switch to AUTO. The subwoofer will automatically turn on when it detects a signal and will enter standby after 15-20 minutes without signal. The ON and OFF positions are also available.

What to do if the indicator light does not turn on?

Check that the subwoofer is plugged into a working mains outlet and that the power switch is set to ON or AUTO. If the light remains off, the amplifier is not powered; consult a Jamo dealer.

How to clean the subwoofer?

Use a dry cloth to dust the vinyl finish. Do not use abrasive, solvent-based, or harsh cleaning products. A vacuum cleaner with a brush can be used.

What to do if the subwoofer was damaged during transport?

Unpack carefully and check that all components are present. If damage is found, inform the carrier and the dealer immediately. Keep the original packaging.

Can I use the subwoofer with bookshelf speakers?

Yes. For bookshelf or satellite speakers, set the low-pass filter cutoff frequency between 90 and 150 Hz for a smooth bass transition.

INSPECTION

We want your new speaker system to look as good as it did leaving the factory! Please check promptly for any transit damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify the components against the packing list. In extreme circumstances, items may have become damaged in transit. If any damage is discovered, notify the delivery service and dealer where the system was purchased. Make a request for inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure to keep the product's original shipping carton.

CARE AND CLEANING

Your subwoofer has a durable vinyl finish that should only require dry dusting or cleaning with a dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum should remove any dust from your subwoofer enclosure.

PLACEMENT

Jamo® powered subwooers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. For optimum performance, place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers. (refer to Figure 1). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect on the performance of your powered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room

will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer's location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer's built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet.

CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making any connections.

"LINE IN" Connection - Most of today's surround receivers (and pre-amplifiers) have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If you have this output, connect one end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the subwoofer line input labeled LEFT/LFE. This connection allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies (refer to your receiver manual).

Level - If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a surround receiver, first set the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the "half way" or "0 dB" position. Then increase the volume (or gain) of the subwoofer up until the subwoofer's volume level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume control on your system's main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the volume control for both your subwoofer and speakers together.

"LOWPASS" Control - The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are "handed off" from the speakers to the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (160Hz). Set the crossover point based on the size of the main left/right speakers you are using in the system. As a general rule, for larger, floorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between 50Hz-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or "satellite" speakers for the mains, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your system is completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover point setting, set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within the same recommended settings (see receiver manual for additional speaker setup info).

"PHASE" 0/180 - This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your main speakers. Select the position, either 0^ or 180^ , in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position.

"POWER" AUTO/ON/OFF - When this switch is in the "AUTO" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn "on" when it senses a signal. It will automatically go into "standby mode" after 15-20 minutes with no signal. When this switch is in the "OFF" position, the subwoofer will remain "off" until the switch is manually turned back to the "ON/AUTO" position.

Power LED indicator - Located on the front baffle, this LED indicates the operating status of the built-in amplifier. The LED will light green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark and not lit, the amplifier is off. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer or visit www.jamo.com
