control should be set to achieve similar output level from both the main
speakers and subwoofer when listening to music.

The crossover control allows you to adjust the
upper limit of the subwoofer's frequency response from 40 to 120 Hz. You should
set the crossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the
subwoofer to the main speakers in your system.
Crossover Bypass Switch:
A bypass switch is also provided if you wish to use and external crossover such
as the ones found in a lot of the new digital receiver's with a dedicated LFE
channel out.
Phase Adjustment: This control allows you to reverse the phase of
the subwoofer's output signal 180 degrees to correct for any possible mismatch
and resulting cancellation between subwoofer and your main speakers/amplifier.

the main power switched on continuously. The subwoofer will turn itself on
automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is present for
approximately 10 minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode.
