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.

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.

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.

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.
