User manual CANTON ACTIVE SUBWOOFER

[. . . ] To protect the high-level stages of the subwoofer from overheating, a minimum space of 10 cm from walls and furniture must be observed when setting up the equipment. Avoid heat accumulation and do not cover your subwoofer with curtains, tablecloths etc. To avoid image interference, ensure that there is sufficient space (min. 1 m) between the subwoofer and the TV (tube TVs only). [. . . ] Please be careful that when connecting your equipment as in fig. 3, that the left and right sides are not accidentally reversed.

Connect the loudspeaker cables and the cables coming from the amplifier with the , , High Level Output". To cut the power, switch the subwoofer off using the power switch (fig. When the subwoofer is in use the LED is green. amplifier Mode: When the power switch is set to "ON" , the Amplifier Mode switch (fig. 5) can be used to select from two operating modes.

In the absence of any musical signal your subwoofer automatically (depending on the model approx. 6) the automatic power on sensitivity can be adjusted, meaning at what volume level the subwoofer turns on automatically. Auto High = Low input level Auto Low = High input level Tip: Choose , , Auto High".
