Please check promptly for any transit damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify the components against the packing list. In extreme circum stances, items may have become damaged in transit. If any damage is discovered, notify the delivery service and dealer where the system was purchased. Make a request for inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure to keep the products original shipping carton. POSITIONING YOUR REFERENCE SERIES SUBWOOFERKlipsch 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 youplace 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 subwoofers location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofers built in amplifier to an ACpower outlet. CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLSCAUTION: 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 elec tronics via the RCA jack inputs. Connect to the RIGHT and/or LEFT/LFE inputs on the subwoofers rear panel (Refer to figures 3 and 5). RW 10d, RW 12d, RSW 10d English

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 amplifiers Left channel to the Red positive (+) terminal of your subwoofers Left channel HIGH LEVEL IN terminal. Connect the Black negative ( ) terminal of your ampli fiers Left channel to the Black negative ( ) of your subwoofers 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. CONTROLSAll of the subwoofers controls, and changes to control settings, are accessed through the cursor key pad and display on the top of the subwoofers cabinet. The only exception to this is the main AC power switch which is located on the rear panel of the subwoofer. - 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 subwoofers 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. - 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 subwoofers volume level to match the output of your main speakers. The volume control on your systems 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 subwoofers volume. Press and hold (or press and release) the Right cursor key toincrease the subwoofers volume to the desired level. From this screen press the down cursor key to access other controlsettings. 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 subwoofers maximum output capability as they will require more of the subwoofers 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 subwoofers upper frequency limit to achieve a proper blend with your systems 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 systems 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 processors owners manual for more Bass 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 subwoofers acoustic phase to match that of your main speakers. Use the Left/Right cursor keys to adjust the subwoofers 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. Aftersetting 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
