2. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have just made perhaps the most exciting and dramatic addition that you could make to your audio or audio/video system. The new dimension of deep and powerful bass provided by your M&K Subwoofer will thrill and excite you.

We encourage you to read this owner's manual, as there is a great deal of information provided here to help you get the best possible performance.

If you have any questions about your Subwoofer, please contact your M&K dealer, or call us directly at (310) 204-2854, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time. We will be more than happy to help you with any question, no matter how simple or complex it may be.

This manual gives you basic hook-up instructions first, followed by more detailed technical, installation, and service information.

3. WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR SUBWOOFER

M&K Subwoofers will perform well in just about any room location. In fact, unless your ear is within a couple feet of the Subwoofer, the deep bass will seem to come exclusively from your Satellite speakers. (By Satellite speakers, we mean the main speakers used with your Subwoofer). There is no need to place your Subwoofer between the Satellite speakers or in any specific location in the room.

Except for the V-125,MX-1000and MX-1000cc, M&K Subwoofers are not magnetically shielded. Leave 2 - 3 feet of clearance around any television set. This shielding avoids magnetization of the shadow mask of the television's picture tube, which will distort the television's picture. If this ever happens to your set, turn it off and on a few times to use the set's built-in degaussing circuitry. If the problem persists, contact a TV technician and ask him or her to use an external degaussing coil.

No matter where you put the Subwoofer, you must allow room for ventilation of its heatsink and backplate. The Subwoofer's power amplifier is mounted on the backplate, and it generates heat.

1.Do not place the Subwoofer against a wall. Leave at least one foot clearance around the heatsink.

2.Do not place the Subwoofer where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

3.Do not place the Subwoofer near baseboard heaters or forced air heating outlets.

4.Do not use the Subwoofer outdoors or in a humid environment.

For more detailed placement information, please see Section 8, on page 12.

Do not plug the Subwoofer into an AC outlet until all system wiring is complete.

4. SUBWOOFER HOOK-UP

There are two different ways to connect the Subwoofer to your system. One uses speaker wire, and the other uses interconnect cable with RCA-type jacks. Read this section before deciding which is best for your system.
