INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS

Unpacking

Due to its weight and size, we strongly recommend that help is at hand when unpacking and installing the subwoofer. Unpack the subwoofer on a clean, even and soft area; floor carpeting is very suitable. Please refer to Fig. 1.

The packaging should be opened from the top. Remove all accessories that come packed with the subwoofer, such as AC power cord, remote control and warranty card). Do not remove the top part of the protective material.

With the protective material still in place but with accessories removed, carefully tilt the packaging on its side and tilt again to turn it upside-down. Ensure that no part of the top-cover is obstructing the opening at the top.

The outer packaging can now be lifted away from the subwoofer itself. Remove the protective material that now is on top. Through the polythene bag you can now see the underside of the subwoofer.

Open the polythene bag and remove from around the base of the subwoofer.

Again, carefully tilt the subwoofer on its side and again to turn it onto its feet. Note that the top part of the protective material will now come off easily so ensure that the subwoofer doesn't drop or slide away in the process.

Check that the contents are complete:

Subwoofer. The factory-set power requirements (refer to label on rear of subwoofer) should correspond for the region where the subwoofer was purchased. Refer also to chapter "Safety Instructions".

DSC1 Remote Control.

AC mains lead. The supplied lead should be suitable for the region where the subwoofer was purchased.

Instruction Manual.

To decide on the most suitable location for the subwoofer, please refer to chapter "Positioning Subwoofers". Once the subwoofer is positioned in the listening room, it can be connected to the rest of the system.

Making connections

Before making any connections to the subwoofer we strongly recommend that the subwoofer is disconnected from the mains outlet. Refer to figure 2.
