Although in most cases the Phase Switch should be left in the Normal position, there is no absolutely correct setting for it. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with the satellite speakers, the sound will be clearer and have maximum impact. It will make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase Switch is to listen to music that you know well and set the switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum impact.
