It changes the phase of the Sub. Depending on positioning, the large sound waves produced by the Sub can cause nulls, or standing waves, in parts of the room where the waves overlap. Changing the phase can shift the waves so the overlap is minimized. See which setting sounds best at the main listening area.

it is the same as a phase button on normal Sub - switch back and forth to see which phase sounds better 0 or 180 degree
