FCC Information for User

CAUTION:

The user changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer- ence in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor- dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer- ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter- ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif- ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech- nician for help.

Speaker Precautions

Placement

•The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi- tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

•Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.

•Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam- age, will affect the sound quality.

•Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti- cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.

•If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howl- ing or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable or CD player otherwise lower the unit’s output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-330F and SKC-330C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Do not place SKM-330 close to TV or a computer mon- itor because they have no magnetic shield.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol- lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1.Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2.Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

3.High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.

4.Amplifier oscillation.

5.Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6.Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon- necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7.Microphone feedback.
