Making Binding Post/Speaker Wire Connections
There are two pair of speaker input terminals on the rear of the subwoofer.
Each pair has one terminal marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain
that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your receiver to the red (+)
terminal on your subwoofer and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver
to the black (-) terminal on your subwoofer. Speaker wire has some indication
(such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help
maintain consistency.
Strip 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors on both
ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor
to form two un-frayed strands (one on each end).
Unscrew the binding post hex nuts several turns. Insert the exposed wire, ensuring
that none of the bare wire ends touch each other, because contact could result
in an electrical short and cause your receiver to turn off or malfunction.
With the speaker wire inserted into the binding post, turn the hex nut
clockwise until it's snug.
Note: If your subwoofer doesn't seem to produce much bass, it is most
likely that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double
check all connections for correct polarity.
OPTION #3 Connecting multiple subwoofers.

inputs of Subwoofer 1.Do not make any connections to the SPEAKER

AUTO ROOM RESONANCE CORRECTION
PRO
(DSW2000/3000/4000 only)
While addresses boundary effects on subwoofer performance, AUTO
PRO
employs a novel, dynamic technique for correcting room resonant effects.
Excessive room resonance imparts a "boomy" quality that inhibits the delivery
of accurate, tight bass to listeners. AUTO
modes that negatively affect performance within those areas of your room
where you sit most often.
The following setup procedure applies to the DSWmicro
models.You must repeat the same procedure for each subwoofer you set up.
1. Plug the microphone into the subwoofer "MIC IN" connection.
2. Place the microphone as close to ear level as possible in your preferred
listening area.
3. Press the button on the remote control marked "room" until you hear a series
of test tones. The tones will last for approximately 30 seconds to two minutes.
CAUTION: These test tones are loud!
4. If for some reason you need to stop AUTO
test tones, (for example: the microphone moves from its intended location)
simply press the "room" button on the remote control again.
5. Setup is complete; remove microphone.
Note: Whenever you choose to relocate your subwoofer or your
listening area in the room, you must run the setup procedure
again for optimal performance.
