1.Read Instructions - All the safety and operation instructions should be read before the subwoofer is operated.

2Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be kept for future reference.

3.Heed Warnings - All warnings on the subwoofer and in these operating instructions should be followed.

4.Follow Instructions - All operating and other instructions should be followed.

5.Water and Moisture - The subwoofer should not be used near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

6.Ventilation - The subwoofer should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the system should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block airflow past the rear heat sinks; or placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air past the heat sinks.

7.Heat - The subwoofer should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, furnace outflow vents or other devices which produce heat.

8.Power Sources - The subwoofer should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in these operation instructions or as marked on the Component.

9.Grounding or Polarization - The subwoofer is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is an intentional safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete (unpolarized) outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

10.Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked upon or pinched by items placed upon or avolumest them Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the subwoofer. To prevent electric shock, do not use the subwoofer polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

11.Non-use Periods - The power cord of the subwoofer should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

12.Damage Requiring Service - The subwoofer should be serviced only by qualified service personnel when:

A.Subwoofer power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the subwoofer; or

C.The subwoofer has been exposed to rain; or

D.The subwoofer does not appear to operate or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E.The subwoofer has been dropped or damaged.

13.Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the subwoofer beyond those means described in this operating manual. All other servicing should be referred to an authorized Service Center.

14.Cleaning - Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

15.Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended as they may cause hazards.

16.Accessories - Do not place the subwoofer on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The subwoofer may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any

mounting of the subwoofer should follow manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by manufacturer. An subwoofer and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

17.Lightning - For added protection for the subwoofer during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet.

18.Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19.Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

20.Servicing - Do not attempt to service the subwoofer yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21.Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
