My Wharfadele SW150 manual does not talk much about few settings

There is a knob provided with crossover phase 35 -85 what should I set? What is the purpose?

There is another Button 0-180, I can keep this either 0 or 180, Any idea?
 
0 to 180 is phase & generally kept 0.
If you feel with 180,Bass is better,then keep it 180.

CO can be kept 80 as it produces decent sound.
again you can check the lowest freq response from 9.2 & keep little more than it.

The 35-85 is crossover knob you can select this with regard to the crossover frequency set in your AVR.
Well I dont find any diff with regard to Phase switch.
 
Ideally your front speakers should take in as much bass as they can.
So it depends on your speakers - most good speakers can take the bass to 50Hz atleast.

The frequencies below are not reproduced so effectively.
So you use the subwoofer for those.

0 and 180 is pahseand is required to correct any pahse inversions in your setup.
 
You might need to experiment with different settings and locations of the sub to get the best out of it. Like Spiro... siad, 80hz is the typical frequency, but try lower freq and hear the sound and check what you like. As subs are sensitive to location, you might want to keep them in different locations and check what sounds best.
