Place the subwoofer away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Cautions:

To prevent the cabinet from warp- ing 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-SW100P 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 sub- woofer greatly affects its bass re- sponse. 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- di- rectional, factors such as room reflec- tions, standing waves, resonance and absorption strongly affect your sub- woofer’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 re- sponse.

We recommend that you test the sub- woofer in different locations to deter- mine where the best balance is between your satellite speakers (if used) and subwoofer. We also recom- mend that you place the PRO- SW100P 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 mag- net will not distort the colors of your TV picture or erase your floppy disks.

CONNECTING TO AN AMPLIFIER

You can connect your PRO-SW100P to an amplifier/receiver’s line out or speaker terminals.

Notes:

We recommend you connect the subwoofer to an amplifier or receiver that has at least two sets of line out jacks. If your amplifier or receiver has only one set of line out jacks, you might not hear any sound from the satellite speakers. If your amplifier or receiver has only one set of line out jacks, fol- low the instructions under “Con- necting to Speaker Terminals” instead.

Your PRO-SW100P can also be connected to your television if your television has line out jacks.
