may be adjusted using the SubwooferLevel Control.Turn the control clockwise
to increase the SUB-TS14’s volume,or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
™ High-Cut (Lo w-Pass) Filter Switch:
Placing this switch in the ON position activates circuitry that cuts out all audio input
signals above 120Hz.This allows the SUBTS14 to focus its power on reproducing the
low-frequency portion of the signal, avoiding
inefficiency and distortion. Engage this filter
when using the Speaker-Level Inputs •,
or when using the Line-Level Full-RangeInputs §, unless your receiver or processor
processes its line-level output using a lowpass filter.The filter has no effect when the
SUB Input ∞ is used.
£ Music-Sense On/Off Switch: When
placed in the AUTO position, and when the
Master Power Switch ª is turned on, the
SUB-TS14 will automatically turn itself on or

place itself in the Standby mode,depending on
whether it is receiving an audio signal.When
this switch is placed in the ON position, the
SUB-TS14 will remain on,whether or not it is
receiving an audio signal.
An LED located on top of the SUB-TS14
indicates whether the SUB-TS14 is in the
ON or STANDBY state when used with the
Music-Sense On/Off Switch £ in theAUTO position. The LED is lit blue to indicate that the SUB-TS14 is receiving an

audio signal and is turned on, and the LED
is lit amber to indicate that no signal is being
received and the SUB-TS14 is in Standby
mode.
When the Music-Sense On/Off Switch £
is in the ON position, the LED will be lit
blue,whether or not an audio signal is
present.
When the Master Power Switch ª is
turned off, the LED goes dark, no matter
which position the Music-Sense On/Off
Switch £ is in.
¢ Phase Switch: This switch determines
whether the SUB-TS14 subwoofer’s pistonlike action moves in and out in phase with
the main speakers.If the speakers were to
play out of phase,the sound waves produced by the subwoofer would be cancelled
out, reducing bass response.This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of the speakers in the room. In most
cases,the Phase Switch ¢ should be left
in the NORMAL position. However,it
does no harm to experiment with the PhaseSwitch ¢, and you may leave it in the
position that maximizes bass response.
∞ Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input:
Connect the subwoofer output of a receiver
with digital surround sound decoding,such
as Dolby* Digital or DTS
input bypasses the SUB-TS14’s internal
crossover circuitry,and should only be used
®
, to this input.This
with a filtered signal. If your receiver does not
have digital decoding,you should use the
Line-Level Full-Range Inputs § instead.
§ Line-Level Full-Range Inputs: Connect
the line-level subwoofer output or preamp output(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these
inputs.If your receiver does not have a separate subwoofer output, use a Y-adaptor (not
supplied) to bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the main amp input for that channel,
and connect the long end of the adaptor
to the corresponding line-level input on the
SUB-TS14. If your receiver has only a single
subwoofer output, you may connect it to
either the left or right line-level input on the
SUB-TS14, and no Y-adaptor is needed.
¶ Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are
using the Speaker-Level Inputs • on the
SUB-TS14, you should connect these binding post terminals to your front left and right
speakers,remembering to maintain polarity
by connecting the (+) terminal on the SUBTS14 subwoofer to the (+) terminal on the
speaker, and the (–) terminal on the SUBTS14 subwoofer to the (–) terminal on the
speaker. If you are not using the Speaker-Level Inputs •, then connect your front
left and right speakers directly to your receiver or amplifier. See pages 9 through 12 for
further information on speaker connections.
• Speaker-Level Inputs: Connect these
binding-post terminals to the main left and
right speaker terminals of your receiver or
amplifier, if your receiver or amplifier does
not have a line-level subwoofer output.
Remember to maintain polarity by connecting
the (+) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the
(+) terminal on the SUB-TS14 subwoofer, and
the (–) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the
(–) terminal on the SUB-TS14 subwoofer.
ª Master Power Switch: Place this
switch in the “•”position to power-on the
SUB-TS14 subwoofer.The SUB-TS14 will
then be either in the Standby mode or completely on, depending on the position of the
Music-Sense On/Off Switch £.
‚ AC Power Cord: Make sure to plug this
cord into an active,unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the SUB-TS14.
The cord should not be plugged into the
accessory outlets found on some audio
components.
