21.Voltage — Insure that the subwoofer is only connected to the rated source voltage. Do not connect the

120-volt version to 230-volts or vice-versa. This will result in damage to the subwoofer and possible

 

injury to the user.

 

 

CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully inserted.
