CONTROL FACILITIES Auto-On/Off/Standby Automatic sensing feature inherent within the amplifier's design. No action on the user's part is required. Subwoofer Level Balances the subwoofer output level to your speakers. For instructions on setting the Subwoofer Controls once your subwoofer has been connected refer to the section on "Fine Tuning". Subwoofer Cut-Off Frequency Controls the subwoofer's upper-frequency cut-off. This can be set to match the low-frequency roll-off characteristics of your front speakers. For example, if your front speakers play to approximately 80 Hz, you can set the subwoofer cut-off frequency to approximately 80 Hz. Subwoofer/Satellite Phase Alignment The sound from your subwoofer may arrive at the listening position out of phase with the front speakers. This control synchronizes the subwoofer and the front speakers through their frequency overlap region. THE USB PORT The USB port allows for: • Connection of optional Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit (PBK™); • Possible future upgrades to the software installed in your subwoofer. PARADIGM PERFECT BASS KIT (PBK™) Even when the world's finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room can still have a dramatic impact on performance. Room dimensions, dead spots, archways, furniture placement and countless other factors can turn a room into an additional instrument, playing alongside musicians or movie scores with unwanted contributions of coloration and resonance. Although the Control Facilities included on your Paradigm® subwoofer allow you to fine tune for optimal bass performance in your room, Paradigm's Perfect Bass Kit (PBK™) (sold separately, see Dealer) allows you to correct for the effects of your room's boundaries. CONNECTION (Fig. 3) Line-Level Input From Sub/LFE Output - For use with a receiver, processor or subwoofer control unit with a Sub-Out/ LFE-Out jack. Using an RCA-to-RCA interconnect cable connect the subwoofer as shown. (See Dealer if you require additional information.) 8
