USER INSTRUCTIONS: WH2.1 SYSTEM

If this does cure the problem, back off the volume level at the subwoofer.

Please read the relevant sections of your AV amplifier manual and familiarise yourself with the various issues. If you are unsure, consult your dealer for help.

CONNECTING WIRES

When wall mounting a loudspeaker the connecting cables may be unacceptably obvious.

It may be less obstrusive to route cables from the loudspeaker to the ceiling and then within or immediately underneath the ceiling or covering. The cable may then return to floor level at a convenient room corner.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

If you play the speakers with the grilles off exercise great care. NEVER touch the drive units which can easily be damaged.

The loudspeaker cabinets can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with a spray furniture polish and a soft cloth. Apply the spray sparingly to the cloth and then polish the cabinet. Never apply spray directly to the cabinet.
