The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products’ enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND THAT OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL NOT BE PLACED ON APPARATUS.
• WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OF SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
• WARNING: THE MAINS PLUG IS USED AS DISCONNECT DEVICE. THE DISCONNECT DEVICE SHALL REMAIN READILY AVAILABLE.

• WARNING: ONLY USE ATTACHMENTS OR ACCESSORIES SPECIFIED OR PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

• Read these instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspaper, table-cloths, curtains etc. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction.
• Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. No open flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point of exit from the apparatus.

• Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
• The apparatus should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
• There are two different types of mains fuse for different input voltage rating. Please check the marking on the rear enclosure for rating and type of mains fuse provided with the apparatus. Please ask local service personnel for help to replace the fuse before connecting the apparatus to a mains socket outlet with another voltage rating.

4. Power Mode

Sets the power-on/off option of the PSW110/112. Set it to Normal for manual control using switch 10. Set switch to Auto-On for automatic power-on when signal is present; after 10 minutes with no signal, unit will enter standby mode. For Auto-On the power switch is left in "ON" position.

5. Phase Control

Normally set to 0^ . In rare instances, due to your unique sound system or the size of your room, the output may be out of phase. If the sound is hollow or the volume knob has little effect, set to 180^ to compensate for these factors.

6. Line Level Input

Connect to the line level, subwoofer, or LFE output of your receiver, pre-amp, or power amp. Do not use if Speaker Level Inputs are connected. For single mono input: plug into either R or L terminal, or use a y-adaptor.

7. Speaker Level Input

Use when line level outputs are unavailable from your receiver, pre-amp or power amp. Your existing stereo speakers can share these terminals, allowing you to add bass to any stereo or home theater system. Always maintain speaker polarity by connecting positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on this unit with corresponding terminals on your existing speakers and source.

Do not use if Line Level Inputs are connected.

3. Variable Crossover

Sets crossover frequency between 40Hz and 200Hz. For stereo music or home theater, set the frequency to a level that sounds pleasing to your ear and the overall reproduction of your audio. If using LFE signal, set crossover to 200Hz.
