Operation

Note: Your speaker system automatically turns on and its indicator lights green when it receives signals from your audio source. Your speaker system automatically turns off and its indicator lights red if it does not receive a signal within eight minutes. When you turn the speaker system on, you will hear the sound at a low level. This is merely a safety function and not equipment trouble.

After all connections are made, adjust the subwoofer’s volume control.

1.Rotate BASS counterclockwise to the minimum position.

2.Turn on your audio equipment.

3.Choose the equipment connected to the A/B jacks. When SOURCE is out, the equipment connected to “A” is selected. When SOURCE is pressed in, the equipment connected to “B” is selected. Play the equipment and adjust its overall volume to a comfortable level.

4.Rotate VOLUME clockwise, a little at a time, until you achieve the adequate satellite volume level.

5.Rotate BASS clockwise, a little at a time, until you achieve a balance of bass between the subwoofer and the satellite.

Using the Remote

To turn the volume up or down, repeatedly press + or on the remote.

Specifications are typical; individual units might vary. Specifications are subject to change and improvement without notice.

Sound Distortion – Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for a long time. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.

Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the manufacturer.

Power Sources – Operate this product using only the power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home’s power type, consult your local RadioShack store or local power company.

Polarization – This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.

Power-Cord Protection – Route power supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

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

Water and Moisture – Do not use the subwoofer near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool or other similar areas.

Objects and Liquids – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
