CHOOSING A LOCATION

Cautions:

To prevent the cabinet from warping or discoloring, do not place the subwoofer in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

Do not place the subwoofer where it might be knocked over or exposed to falling objects.

The metal control panel on the back of the PRO-SW220P acts as the heat sink for the subwoofer’s internal amplifier. Therefore, place the unit at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from a wall, and do not let anything come into contact with this panel.

Where and how you position your subwoofer greatly affects its bass response. Adjusting the subwoofer’s volume control in relation to the left and right speakers and adjusting the subwoofer’s high cut filter also affects your speakers’ overall sound.

Although low frequencies are non- directional, factors such as room reflections, standing waves, resonance, and absorption strongly affect your subwoofer’s performance. For maximum bass output, place your subwoofer in a corner. To reduce output, move it away from corners and back walls. Even slightly moving the subwoofer can have a major effect on bass response.

We recommend that you test the subwoofer in different locations to determine where the best balance is between your satellite speakers (if used) and subwoofer. We also recommend that

you place the PRO-SW220P at least 4 inches away from the wall, and at least 2–3 feet away from your television or computer’s disk drive system so the subwoofer’s magnet will not distort the colors of your TV picture or erase your floppy disks.

ATTACHING FEET

Using the supplied screws, secure the four protective feet (packed separately) into the pre-drilled holes at each corner of the cabinet’s bottom.

CONNECTING TO AN AMPLIFIER

You can connect your PRO-SW220P to an amplifier/receiver’s subwoofer out or pre out jacks or speaker terminals.

Note: You can connect your PRO- SW220P to your TV if it has variable line out jacks.

Caution: To avoid any damage to the subwoofer or amplifier, disconnect power from your components before making any connections.

Connecting to Subwoofer Out or Pre Out Terminals

Use this connection if your amplifier/ receiver has jacks labeled SUBWOOFER OUT or PRE OUT. Do not use the PRE OUT jacks if they are already connected by cables or jumpers to your amplifier.
