Adjusting the Sound
Note
If the sound distorts when you
turn on the bass reinforcement
from your amplifier (such as,
DBFB, GROOVE, or the graphic
equalizer), turn off the bass
reinforcement and adjust the
sound.
You can adjust the speaker system to complement the sound of your front
speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a greater sense of
atmosphere.

Play your favourite song.
Male vocal tunes containing bass sounds are most suitable for
adjustment. Adjust the volume for the front speakers to the same
level as usual.
2
Adjust volume of the speaker system.
Turn the VOLUME control so you can hear the bass sound a little
more than before.
To increase the bass sound, turn the VOLUME control clockwise.
To decrease the bass sound, turn the VOLUME control
counterclockwise.
3
Adjust the cut off frequency.
Turn the CROSSOVER control to match the reproduction frequencies
of your front speakers.
Turn the control towards 150 Hz if you have small front speakers.
Turn the control towards 50 Hz if you have large front speakers.
If you connect the KL-50W series TV, adjust the CROSSOVER control
to the marked (KL-50W) position.

Select the phase polarity.
Press the PHASE button to select the phase polarity. Select the normal
(+) phase polarity if you connect a KL-50W series TV.
Depressing the PHASE button reverses the polarity and may provide
better bass reproduction in certain listening environments. (Bass
reproduction depends on the type of front speakers, the position of
the speaker system and the adjustment of the cut off frequency). It
may also change the expanse and tightness of sound, and effect the
feeling of the sound field. Select the setting that provides the sound
you prefer when listening in your normal listening position.
