4. MISE SOUS TENSION

Open the box and take out the subwoofer.

If you notice any defects on any elements when unpacking, contact your dealer.

Before disposing the packaging, check that nothing is left inside.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Before installing

Before connecting your installation, make sure all equipment is switched off. Make sure the switch is OFF before removing or connecting cables. Do not connect the power supply cable before completing all connections.

Moving the unit

Always disconnect the power supply cable and the cables between any other audio components when moving the unit. This is in order to prevent any short-circuiting or damage on plugs and connection cables.

Before switching the unit on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that volume buttons are at the minimum.

Places to avoid

Avoid placing your enclosure near damp areas or areas exposed to excessive sunlight and install it in a cool place.

Recycling

Your product contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. Leave it at local point.

3. CONNECTING

Before making any connection to your system, turn off all devices.

If you are not sure about how to connect your system, we recommend that you contact your authorized reseller.

3.1 Connecting to a multi-channel audio/video amplifier

Use the SUBWOOFER output on your Audio/Video amplifier (RCA plug) and connect it to the LFE input on the subwoofer.

You can control the frequency roll-off from the menu of your AV amplifier. We recommend setting it to 80Hz to begin with (see the user's manual of your amplifier). The «Crossover» button on the subwoofer is inoperative in this mode.

Position the volume button to 3/4 on the subwoofer. You can change the volume on your audio/video amp or on the subwoofer if necessary.

See «Placement and Settings» (page 25) for more information on the settings.

3.2 Connecting to a stereo amplifier

There are 3 connection options depending on the connectors available on your preamplifier or integrated amplifier:

- If it has a PRE-OUT (L+R) output, you need to use an RCA stereo cable to connect to the LINE IN (L+R) on your subwoofer.

The volume and the frequency roll-off must be set on the subwoofer. For the first time use, we recommend setting the volume to half and the frequency roll-off (Crossover button on the subwoofer) to 80Hz.

See «Placement and Settings» (page 25) for more information on the settings.

- If it has a Subwoofer output, you need to use an RCA-to-dual RCA cable (Y cable) to connect to the LINE IN on your subwoofer.

The volume and the frequency roll-off must be set on the subwoofer. For the first time use, we recommend setting the volume to half and the frequency roll-off (Crossover button on the subwoofer) to 80Hz.

See «Placement and Settings» (page 25) for more information on the settings.

INPUT LFE LINE IN TRIANGLE POWER/INFORMATION

- If it does not have any Subwoofer or PRE-OUT output, you must connect the speaker outputs of your amplifier to the HIGH LEVEL INPUT on your subwoofer.

For this, use of a hi-fi quality cable. During the connection, it is crucial to observe proper polarity to ensure correct use: the red terminals «+» of the subwoofer must be connected to the «+» terminals on your amplifier, the black terminals «-» to the «-» terminals on your amplifier.

The volume and the frequency roll-off must be set on the subwoofer. For the first time use, we recommend setting the volume to half and the frequency roll-off (Crossover button on the subwoofer) to 80Hz.

Your speakers can be connected to the HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT or directly to the amplifier.

See «Placement and Settings» (page 25) for more information on the settings.

3.3 Connecting to a powered speaker (such as TRIANGLE LN01A or LN05A) equipped with a Subwoofer Output

You need to use an RCA-to-dual RCA cable (Y cable) to connect the Subwoofer output of the powered speaker to the LINE IN on your subwoofer.

The volume and the frequency roll-off must be set on the subwoofer. For the first time use, we recommend setting the volume to half and the frequency roll-off (Crossover button on the subwoofer) to 80Hz.

4. POWERING ON

Power on as follows:

▶Plug your subwoofer into AC power.
▶ Set the Auto selection switch to the ON position to enable the automatic powering on, or to the OFF position to disable it and use the remote to turn on the subwoofer. When using this function, the subwoofer will automatically enter standby mode when no audio signal is received for 15 minutes.
▶Toggle the ON/OFF switch to «ON».

Notes: When the subwoofer is not used for several days, cut the power using the power switch.

4.1 Placement and Settings

Place your subwoofer at the front of the listening area (between the two main speakers or in a corner) for a better sound quality.

There are 2 possible adjustments available: volume and frequency roll-off.

The ideal setting is the one that matches a lifelike reproduction of the lowest frequencies, harmonized as much as possible with your main speakers. You should not "feel" the subwoofer. The bass must seem to come from the main speakers.

Tip to set the frequency roll-off: between 30Hz and 80Hz with larger main speakers, between 80 and 120Hz with smaller speakers.

When searching for the optimal result, it can be very convenient to use the polarity reverse switch. This switch has the function of reversing the polarity of the acoustic signal emitted by the subwoofer. Depending on where you place the subwoofer in relation to the main speakers in the room, the reversing of the polarity of the subwoofer can help find a better consistency in the system's overall response at lower frequencies.

We recommend making different tests to find the setting that suits your needs best. You can use a track that you know well and analyze the result, depending on your taste, and aspirations.

4.2 Using the remote control

The remote allows you to power your subwoofer on and off, and to adjust the level.

The subwoofer features a level meters with LED, with 9 volume positions available for controlling the desired volume. When using the remote, always point it towards the receiver at the front of the subwoofer.

CAUTION

Never open the subwoofer due to risk of electrical shock.

Check well that your power supply voltage corresponds to the one on the product (230V or 120V). A wrong voltage can break the product.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the equipment fails to operate correctly, check the points below. If the problem continues, a malfunction may be possible. Disconnect the power supply immediately and contact your dealer.

OBSERVATION CAUSE SOLUTION
The subwoofer does not turn ON	There is no power supply to the subwoofer	Check these points by order:- if the switch is on ON or OFF- if the power supply cable is connected- if the power plug is working
No sound is coming from the subwoofer	There is no input signal to your subwoofer	Check these points by order:- if the subwoofer is correctly connected to the amplifier- if the A/V or stereo amplifier is switched on- if your A/V or stereo amplifier has a working source of music (CD,DVD,etc.)- if the signal sent by the A/V amplifier is not too weak or if the subwoofer function is not on NO (see your owner's manual)
The level of the sound is weak, although the subwoofer volume is at maximum	Incorrect adjustment of the A/V amplifier	Check the subwoofer setting at the A/V amplifier (see your owner's manual)
The subwoofer shuts off at loud peaks	The sound level of the subwoofer is too high and the integrated electronic protection sets in	Lower the sound level (on the A/V amplifier or directly on the subwoofer)
