POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SUBWOOFER Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if you place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers (Refer to figures 1 & 2). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon 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. 13.

English CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS CAUTION: Turn off your amplifier and your subwoofer before making any connections. Do not connect both the "High Level" and "Line Level" inputs at the same time as damage to your equipment could result. RW-10d / RW-12d / RSW-10d "LINE IN" -This input is designed as the standard or default input for the subwoofer. It accepts signals from the Left and Right channel pre-amp, subwoofer or LFE outputs of your electronics via the RCA jack inputs. Connect to the "RIGHT" and/or "LEFT/LFE" inputs on the subwoofer's rear panel (Refer to figures 3 and 5). RW-10d / RW-12d "HIGH LEVEL IN" - These connections can be used as an alternate connection method to the line level hook up. Using 16- gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the Red "positive" (+) terminal of your amplifier's Left channel to the Red "positive" (+) terminal of your subwoofer's Left channel "HIGH LEVEL IN" terminal. Connect the Black "negative" (-) terminal of your amplifier's Left channel to the Black "negative" (-) of your subwoofer's Left channel "HIGH LEVEL IN" terminal. Repeat this procedure for the Right channel connections (refer to Figure 4). Take care that no bare wires from any of the connections can touch any of the other terminals as damage to your equipment could result. CONTROLS All of the subwoofer's controls, and changes to control settings, are accessed through the cursor key pad and display on the top of the subwoofer's cabinet. The only exception to this is the main AC power switch which is located on the rear panel of the subwoofer. · In periods of low humidity, it is possible that a static electricity discharge to the subwoofer may cause a momentary interruption in the subwoofers output or changes to the LCD display content. Any display content errors will be corrected when the screen changes modes. "Volume" - Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the subwoofer's volume level to match the output of your main speakers. The volume control on your system's main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the overall volume control for your subwoofer and full range speakers. Press and hold (or press and release) the Left cursor key to decrease the subwoofer's volume. Press and hold (or press and release) the Right cursor key to increase the subwoofer's volume to the desired level. From this screen press the down cursor key to access other control settings. "Recall Settings:" - This screen is used to select any one of three, user defined, memory presets titled "Movie", "Music" and "Night". Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired group of stored control settings and press the Center key to apply them. "Settings Recalled!" will then be displayed. All of the user settings, in the three memory presets, can be erased and restored to their default values by scrolling down to the last "System Info" screen. Press the Right cursor key twice to get to the "System Reset" screen. Press the center cursor key and all user settings will be replaced with the default settings. "Reset Complete" will be displayed. During initial setup, skip this screen until all other initial control adjustments have been made. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. "EQ Mode:" - This screen is used to select two different Bass emphasis settings, titled "Punch" and "Depth". They are designed to complement different types of program material, such as movie soundtracks or music. The "Punch" setting emphasizes the 60Hz region while the "Depth" setting boosts the 30Hz range. A third setting is titled "Flat" which defeats these two settings. Use of either of these EQ settings will slightly reduce the subwoofer's maximum output capability as they will require more of the subwoofer's amplifier power. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired EQ setting. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. "Lowpass" - This screen is used to adjust the subwoofer's upper frequency limit to achieve a proper blend with your system's main speakers. A higher frequency (Hz) is typically used with smaller, bass limited main speakers and a lower frequency setting is customarily used with larger floorstanding models. This filter can be adjusted from 40Hz to 120Hz, as required, or defeated if the low pass filter function is being performed by your system's electronics. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the lowpass filter. To defeat this filter press and hold the Right cursor key until "Lowpass OFF LFE Mode" is displayed. Refer to your surround processor's owner's manual for more Bass · Use the (UP) or (Down) key to scroll through the list of control options. · Use the (Left) or (Right) Key to make adjustments to a given control setting · Use (IE Center Key) when the " " appears on the display to store and recall custom settings or to lock the keypad · After adjusting the individual control parameters for "Volume", "EQ Mode", "Low-pass filter" and "Phase", your settings can be stored in one of three user memories ("Movie", "Music" and "Night"). This allows for global recall of all of the above settings to tailor the subwoofer's performance to compensate for differing source material and uses. · The display will return to the "Volume" screen after 10 seconds if no adjustments are made while in any other control or display mode. RW-10d, RW-12d, RSW-10d Management information. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. "Phase" - This screen is used to adjust the subwoofer's acoustic phase to match that of your main speakers. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the subwoofer's phase from 0° to 180°. The proper setting of this control is highly dependant on room acoustics and the position of your subwoofer in the room. After setting the volume and lowpass controls set the phase to 0° and listen to a recording with a prominent, repeating bass line in your intended listening position. Repeat this process with the 180° setting and use the setting that yields the greatest amount of bass output. If neither of these settings is better than the other experiment with intermediate settings. From this screen press the down or up cursor key to access other control settings. "Save Settings:" - This screen is used to store all of the above control settings in one of three memory presets ("Music", "Movie" and "Night"). Use the Left/Right cursor keys to select the desired preset and press the Enter key to store your current control settings. "Settings Saved!" will be displayed.
