PSW-D110/DPS-10
1. Power - (PSW-D110 ONLY) This light will be RED
when the unit is plugged in and not receiving a signal;
when the PSW-D110 receives a signal, the light will cycle
to GREEN. If no signal is received after 10 – 15 minutes
the light will cycle back to RED (standby) until a signal is
present again.
2. Level Control - The subwoofer Level Control,
(PSW-D110, located on the front panel, DPS-10, on the
rear panel) adjusts the volume of the subwoofer relative
to the rest of the system.
3. High Pass Control - Controls the the roll-off point of
the highest frequency the subwoofer will produce.
4. Phase Switch - Changes the subwoofer's output to be
in phase or 180 degrees out of phase with the program
material.
5. Low Pass Control - Controls the roll-off point of the
lowest frequency produced at the High Pass Output
Jacks.
6. High Pass Output - When using the Line-Level Input
jacks, these are connected to an external power amplifier
or receiver to power the main loudspeakers with a high
pass filter if desired.
7. Line Input - Main Input connection to subwoofer
(preferred).
8. Speaker In Jacks - Main Input connection to
subwoofer when line level, subwoofer, or pre-amp output
connectors are not availible, or when a high pass filter
(set at 180Hz) to main loudspeakers is desired through
the Speaker Output Jacks.
9. Speaker Out Jacks - Connected to main loudspeakers
when the Speaker Input Jacks are used.

PSW-D110/DPS-10 CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION
OPERATION
Crossover Adjustments
High-Pass Control
• This control is only active if you are using the hook-up
method described in detail on page 8, Figure 3. The
High-Pass control determines the frequency at which the
main speakers will start reproducing sounds. If your main
speakers can comfortably reproduce some low-frequency
sounds, also set this control to a lower frequency setting,
between 50Hz – 100Hz. This will concentrate the
subwoofer’s efforts to the ultradeep bass sounds, while your
main speakers continue to reproduce the mid-bass
information. If you are using smaller bookshelf speakers
that do not extend to the lower bass frequencies, set the
high-pass crossover control to a higher setting, between
125Hz – 180Hz. With this setting, your main speakers will
not have the burden of reproducing any low-frequency
sounds.
Final adjustment and blending of the low-pass and
high-pass controls may evolve over several listening
sessions. A good starting point would be to set both the low-
and high-pass controls to the same frequency and adjust
from that point.
Low-Pass Control
The Low-Pass control determines the highest frequency at
which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main
speakers can comfortably reproduce some low-frequency
sounds, set this control to a lower frequency setting,
between 50Hz – 100Hz. This will concentrate the
subwoofer’s efforts on the ultradeep bass sounds required
by today’s films and music. If you are using smaller
bookshelf speakers that do not extend to the lower bass
frequencies, set the low-pass crossover control to a higher
setting, between 120Hz – 180Hz.
Phase
Phase Control
The Phase Control determines whether the subwoofer
speaker’s piston-like action moves in and out with the main
speakers, 0
°
, or opposite the main speakers, 180
°
. There is
no correct or incorrect setting. Proper phase adjustment
depends on several variables such as room size, subwoofer
placement and listener position. Adjust the phase switch to
maximize bass output at the listening position.
Remember, every system, room and listener is different.
There are no right or wrong settings; any setting you choose
will result in excellent performance. Should you decide to
fine-tune your system for optimum performance, be patient
and trust your ears. It will be worth the effort involved to fully
“tweak” your system.

Amplifier/Subwoofer
PSW-D110/DPS-10
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
1) If your receiver/amplifier has no subwoofer outputs or
preamp outputs for the left and right channels. See Figure 1.
2) If your receiver/amplifier has subwoofer outputs or
preamp output jacks for the left and right channels. See
Figure 2.
Note: Some receivers/amplifiers have a single (mono)
subwoofer output. In this case, it is recommended that you
use a “Y”-connector (not included) to maximize the
subwoofer’s performance.
3) If your receiver/amplifier has preamp output jacks and
main input jacks for the left and right channels or you have a
separate pre-amp/ processor and power amplifier. See
Figure 3.
This method of hookup can offer the highest level of
performance for your complete loudspeaker system. The
PSW-D110/DPS-10 incorporates a variable high-pass
crossover in addition to a variable low-pass crossover.
When hooked up as shown above, the subwoofer will limit
the low-frequency information that is returned to your
receiver/amplifier. Your receiver/amplifier does not need to
waste valuable power reproducing the low frequencies. In
addition, since no low-frequency information is being sent to
your main loudspeakers, they are able to reproduce mid and
high frequencies with greater clarity
