Unpacking
Check that you received the following items:
• Audio connecting cord (1)
- Speaker cord (2)
Installation
Install the woofer wherever you like because with the bass sound range reproduced from the woofer (below 150 Hz), human hearing cannot detect the direction and position in which the sound is being produced. Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass frequencies, a single woofer is enough for reproducing the bass of stereo channels.
To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend that you install the woofer on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur.
Notes
• Always install the woofer vertically, keeping a few centimeters from away the wall.
- Do not place an object on the woofer or sit on it.
- If the woofer is installed 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 happened, move the woofer away from the center of a room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by installing a bookshelf on the wall, etc.
Hooking Up the System
Overview
Use either the INPUT 1 jack or the INPUT 2 terminals of the woofer when you connect the amplifier.
- If your amplifier has one of the following types of output jacks, connect the INPUT 1 jack and the amplifier's jack using the supplied audio connecting cord.
— MONO OUT jack
— MIX OUT jack
— SUB WOOFER output jack(s)
— SUPER WOOFER output jack(s)
- If your amplifier does not have the above mentioned output jacks, connect the speaker terminals of the amplifier to the INPUT 2 terminals instead.
Note
Use either INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 for the connection. Using both may result in a malfunction.

SPEAKERINPUT1 SPEAKER NFLT NFLT2 INPUT2Before you get started
- Turn off the power of the amplifier and the woofer before making any connection.
- Use the audio connecting cords that are supplied to the respective equipment. If there are not enough audio connecting cords to make the necessary connections, you need to purchase some optional audio connecting cords.
- Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid noise.
- Connect the AC power cord from the woofer to a wall outlet.
- You cannot connect the CENTER output jack for use with Dolby Pro Logic function to the woofer. Bass sound is not output with some Dolby Pro Logic modes.

Getting Started
Connecting to an amplifier with a single set of speaker terminals
If your amplifier is equipped with a single set of speaker terminals, connect the woofer to the amplifier, and then connect the front speakers to the woofer.
What cords will I need?
Speaker cord (supplied) (1 for each speaker)
Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and - to -. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass. It is useful to decide that the speaker cord marked with a line is always the positive (+) and should be connected to the positive (+) terminal to avoid any improper connections.
Hookups
1 Connect the woofer to the amplifier.
Connect the INPUT 2 terminals of the woofer to the amplifier's speaker terminals with the speaker cords. Be sure to connect both L and R channels.

Hookups
Connect the INPUT 1 jack of the woofer to one of special jack of the amplifier with the supplied audio connecting cord.
Amplifier This woofer
Note
If the output level of your amplifier is not large enough, the sound may not be loud enough. In this case, connect the speaker terminals of the amplifier directly to the INPUT2 terminals of the woofer.
Setting the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (Not provided on European, North American and Malaysian models)
Check that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of the deck is set to the local power line voltage. If not, set the selector to the correct position using a screwdriver before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet.

2 SONY POWER LEVEL MIN MAX 50Hz 200Hz CUT OFF FREQ PHASENORMAL
REVERSE
Note
Never set the amplifier's tone control (BASS, TREBLE, etc.) or the equalizer output to a high level or input sinewaves of 20 Hz to 50 Hz recorded on a commercially-available test disk or special sound (bass sound of electronic musical instrument, pop noise of analog disc turntable, sound with abnormally enhanced bass, etc.) in a high level to this unit. These actions may cause damage to the speakers.
When a special disc containing abnormally enhanced bass is played, noise may be output in addition to the original sound. In such a case, decrease the sound level.
1 Turn on the amplifier and select the program source.
2 Press POWER.
The woofer turns on and the POWER indicator lights up in green.
3 Play the program source.
Adjust the VOLUME so that sound from front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the sound from the woofer will also be distorted.
To turn off the power
Press POWER to release the switch.
If you hear noise when you turn off the woofer, turn down the woofer volume, or turn off the amplifier before turning off the woofer.
Adjusting the Sound
You can adjust the woofer to suit the sound of your front speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a greater sense of atmosphere.

4 Select the phase polarity.
Use PHASE to select the phase polarity. Depressing PHASE reverses the polarity and may provide better bass reproduction in certain listening environments (depending on the type of front speakers, the position of the woofer and the adjustment of the cut-off frequency). It may also change the expanse and tightness of sound, and effect the feeling of sound field. Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when listening in your normal listening position.
5 Repeat steps 2 to 4 to adjust for your preference.
Once you have adjusted the woofer to the settings you desire, use the VOLUME control on the amplifier to adjust the volume of the woofer with that of the other speakers. You don't need to adjust the woofer settings when you change the volume level of the amplifier.
Note
If the sound distorts when you turn on the bass reinforcement from your amplifier (such as, DBFB, GROOVE, the graphic equalizer, etc.), turn off the bass reinforcement and adjust the sound.
Precautions
