Connecting to Electronics Without a Subwoofer Output
If the electronic in your system does not have a subwoofer of LFE output you can connect the HPS 8Wi to a preamp output.
Use a stereo RCA cable (not included) to connect the preamp outputs to the Left and Right inputs of the transmitter or the
subwoofer.
Adjusting the Crossover Control
When using the Line Level inputs (not the LFE input) the subwoofer's built-in crossover is engaged. As a starting point, set the
crossover control on the subwoofer about 10Hz higher than the lower limit of your main speakers' bass response. Fine-tune
the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your main speakers. The best setting of the crossover control will
depend on speaker placement and personal preference.
Wireless ID Switches
Both the Subwoofer and Transmitter have Wireless ID switches. The various switch settings change the frequency of the
wireless signal the Transmitter sends to the Subwoofer. The two switches must be set to the same position. Typically you'll
never need to adjust these switches. They are included in case you have more than one HPS 8Wi in your house you can use
different Wireless ID switch settings so the subwoofers won't interfere with each other.
Operation
Power On/Auto/Standby
Plug the subwoofer's AC cord into a wall outlet. Do not use the outlets on the back of the receiver. Set the Power switch on
the subwoofer to the desired setting.
OFF – The subwoofer is off and will not produce any sound. You may want to turn your subwoofer off if you will not be using
it for some time or wish to conserve electricity.
AUTO – The subwoofer will power on whenever a signal is detected. If no signal is detected after several minutes, it will
automatically enter the Standby mode.
ON – The subwoofer is always on.
An LED indicator between the Power switch and the Polarity switch indicates what mode the subwoofer is in.
OFF – The subwoofer is off
RED – STANDBY (No signal detected, Amp Off )
GREEN – ON (Signal detected, Amp On)
The subwoofer will automatically enter the Standby mode after several minutes when no signal is detected from your system.
The subwoofer will then power ON instantly when a signal is detected.

Volume Control

Turn the subwoofer Volume control to the 11 o'clock position. If no sound emanates from the subwoofer, check the AC-
line cord, Power switch, and input cables. (Are the connectors on the cables making proper contact? Is the AC-line cord
connected to a "live" receptacle, is the subwoofer in either the Auto or On position?)
Adjust the subwoofer Volume control until you hear a match between the main speaker and subwoofer. Bass response should
not overpower the room but rather be adjusted so there is a natural blend across the entire musical range.
