Placing the SW-200
5 4
Placing your SW-200 Powered Subwoofer is very easy. Because the SW-200 (or any subwoofer) is nondirectional (it does not send its soundwaves out in a particular direction), where you place it is not as critical as it is for your left and right speakers. It will sound �ne no matter where you place it in the room. However, here are a few suggestions for getting the most out � Once you settle on a location, be sure to leave yourself some room for minor movements of a few inches�this can help �netune the sound in the seating area � If you place the subwoofer near your TV, it may affect the picture colors. If this happens, move the subwoofer away from the TV until the picture returns to normal PHASE on the SW-200 so it works the best with the front (left and right) speakers. Here are our recommendations: � Set the subwoofer�s LOW PASS CROSSOVER knob to the �150Hz� setting � Initially set the subwoofer�s VOLUME control to the �11o�clock� position � After listening to music you are familiar with, adjust the

Some suggestions for placement
� For the smoothest match between the subwoofer and the front (left and right) speakers, place the 3 of them in an imaginary straight line with each other � For more deep bass output, place the subwoofer next to a wall � For the deepest bass overall, place the subwoofer in a corner. However, this may yield uneven bass throughout the room�some areas may have too much bass, while other areas may not have enough

Using the Subwoofer with Kenwood�s KSS-200 or KSS-500 packages
� When you are setting up the KSS-200 or KSS-500 packages, you should set the LOW PASS CROSSOVER, VOLUME, and

subwoofer�s VOLUME control and PHASE switch to achieve the best blend between the sound from the subwoofer and the sound of the front speakers � Although you can enhance overall sound quality with the ampli�er or receiver�s tone controls, do not set them to �maximum�, because this can cause extreme ampli�er distortion (�clipping�) that can damage speakers
