General lnformation
• Observe all warnings on the subwoofer and in the manual. Please check the subwoofer for
damage before use.
The subwoofer must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury.
• Connect the subwoofer according to the instructions in the manual.
• Install the subwoofer on a level surface only.
• When choosing the location of the subwoofer, do not place it in locations that are:
- In direct sunlight
- Very humid
- Prone to vibrations
- Exceptionally hot or cold
- Close to magnetic cards (since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing
magnetic cards such as credit cards may cause them to fail)
Caution! Origin subwoofers are heavy. Be careful when liing them to prevent personal injury.

Controls & Connections
Status Light
This light glows when the subwoofer’s power is on.
O/Auto/On Switch
This switch functions only when the power switch (see pg. 10 “Power Switch”) is set to “on.” When this
switch and the power switch are both set to “on,” the subwoofer’s power will always be on. When this
switch is set to “auto,” the subwoofer’s power will come on automatically when it senses an incoming
audio signal. If there is no signal for 15-18 minutes, the subwoofer will automatically shut o.

Volume
This knob adjusts the subwoofer’s volume. Turn it clockwise for full volume. Note that the subwoofer
level control in an AV receiver will also aect how loud the subwoofer plays. With most AV receivers,
setting this knob at about halfway up (the 12 o’clock position) will provide a volume level that allows
the subwoofer’s level to be matched with that of the main speakers.
Phase
Use this knob to adjust the phase of the subwoofer relative to the main speakers. This will help
achieve a smoother blend of the sound of the subwoofer and the main speakers. To adjust it, sit in
the chair or couch where you usually listen, and play some bass-heavy music with the phase knob
set to 0. Now play the same music with the knob set to 180. If you hear a dierence, experiment with
dierent settings until the bass sounds smoothest from your chair.
Crossover
Use this knob to set the highest bass frequency the subwoofer will play, from 50 to 150 Hz. If you’re
using an AV receiver or surround-sound processor, set this knob at 150 and use the crossover built
into the receiver or processor. If the subwoofer is installed in a stereo system, set this knob as close as
possible to the lowest rated bass extension of the main le and right speakers.
Inputs
These jacks accept a signal from an AV receiver, a surround-sound processor, a stereo receiver or a
stereo preamp. In a surround-sound system, use an RCA audio interconnect cable (not included) to
connect the receiver or processor’s subwoofer output to the input jack labeled LFE. In a stereo system,
connect two RCA cables (not included) from the preamp or the receiver’s preamp output to the jacks
labeled R and L.
USB 5VDC output
This jack outputs 5-volt DC power, which can be used to power accessories such as a wireless
subwoofer receiver/transmitter system.

Power switch
This is the master power switch that turns on the AC power. It must be in the “on” position for the
subwoofer to function. If the power switch is on, the on/auto/o switch (see pg. 8 “o/Auto/On Switch”)
controls the subwoofer’s power.
AC cord input
This connector accepts a standard two-conductor AC power cord (included). Note that the jack is not
polarized, which means the connector can be reversed. Reversing the AC cord in this jack can sometimes
fix hum (grounding) problems in the audio system.
Subwoofer Placement
The more walls the subwoofer is near, the louder (and sometimes boomier) the bass will sound. If you
want maximum bass output, put the subwoofer in a corner. If this makes the bass too loud or boomy,
move the subwoofer out of the corner and closer to the center of the wall. Oen, placing the subwoofer
near or between the main speakers helps the subwoofer blend better with the speakers, and gives the
best compromise between maximum output and smoothest sound. When you listen to evaluate dierent
subwoofer positions, always do it from the chair or couch where most of the listening will take place.
A simple trick used by many home theater enthusiasts is to place the subwoofer in the primary listening
chair, play some music with a melodic bass line (most pop and jazz recordings will work), and crawl
around with your head about a foot or two o the ground. Find the spot along the wall where the bass
sounds the smoothest and most even from note to note, and put the subwoofer there.
Subwoofer Adjustment
If the subwoofer is installed in a surround-sound system: Use the crossover frequency and level controls
in the receiver or surround processor, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
If the subwoofer is installed in a stereo system without a built-in subwoofer crossover: Set the
subwoofer’s crossover control to match the rated bass extension of the speakers as closely as possible—
e.g., if you’re using tower speakers with 40 Hz rated deep bass response, set the crossover control to 50
Hz.
If you’re not sure what the speakers’ bass rating is, start with this control set in the middle (about 100 Hz),
with the volume control set in the middle. Adjust the volume control until the bass level roughly matches
the level of the main speakers. If some bass notes seem to be too quiet, set the crossover control to a
higher frequency. If some bass notes seem too loud, set the crossover control to a lower frequency. Do all
of your listening tests from the chair or couch where most of the listening will take place.

If possible, it’s oen good to try to isolate the problem first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD on
a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player to the system to see if that works. If
it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it
doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplifier, speakers, or those cables.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
No Sound The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume settings on both
the amplifier and the television/computer/CD player/etc.
No Sound Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplifier or receiver.
No Sound Check the cord connecting the amplifier with the source. The cord may be
damaged or plugged into the wrong input or output.
No Sound Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the speakers. Make sure they’re
connected properly and not damaged in any way.
Poor Sound
Quality
If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and out, check the
audio cables. If the problem increases when a cable is being moved, then the
cable is most likely faulty or not connected properly.
Poor Sound
Quality
Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the volume, for
example your MP3 player may have a volume control, and your amplifier may
also have one. Check to be certain that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on
any device.
Poor Sound
Quality
Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve chosen is a good
quality recording.
