Care of Your Subwoofer

Caution!

This subwoofer has electronics built into the cabinet. Do not place the cabinet next to sources of heat such as furnace registers, radiators, etc. Do not place the unit near sources of excessive moisture, such as evaporative coolers, humidifiers, etc. The power cord should be routed in such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched, or compressed in any way that could result in damaging the insulation or wire.

Do not use any harsh detergents or chemicals to clean the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions will damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using a damp cloth to clean the front, back and sides. Use a soft cloth with a good quality furniture polish to clean the hand-rubbed, black lacquer, painted top.

During normal conditions, the subwoofer may be left on continuously without any problems. If you plan to leave the unit unused for an extended period of time, we recommend that you turn off the unit by the master power switch on the rear panel.

Troubleshooting and Service

Before seeking service for your subwoofer, please re-check all systems. Following is a simple troubleshooting guide to assist you.

1.Verify unit is plugged in and power outlet used is active.

2.Is power switch on?

3.Is unit receiving an input signal from your source?

4.Have all controls on subwoofer (volume, crossover, phase, etc.) been properly set?

5.If unit has been running at high levels, one of the protection circuits may be engaged.

6.Has the built-in amplifier overheated?

If the protection circuitry is active, the unit may cycle on and off until operating parameters return to normal. Under more serious conditions, the unit may shut off completely. Normal operation will return upon cooling, but you may be required to turn the power off and then on again to reset the unit.
