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.

Power Mode
Sets the power-on/off option of the PSW110/112. Set it to Normal for
manual control using switch . 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.
