Introduction Features

Dear Friend:

Thank you for purchasing my SunÞre True Subwoofer EQ. I hope you enjoy it and the music it makes as much as I have enjoyed creating it for you.

The big breakthrough features of the subwoofer are its uncanny track- ing downconverter, its long throw, high back-electromotive force driver, and its fully automatic room equalizer. Taken together, they provide this subwoofer with as much bass as you could get from sev- eral 15 inch drivers mounted in a cabinet the size of a small refrigerator.

Unpacking

Your SunÞre Subwoofer should reach you in perfect condition. If you do notice any shipping damage, please contact your SunÞre Dealer immediately.

Gently lift out the unit and remove all the packing material. It is important to save all the packing materials and the box in case your subwoofer ever needs to be moved or shipped for repair.

Make sure that you keep your sales receipt. It is the only way to establish the duration of your Limited Warranty and it may come in useful for insurance purposes.

Please take a moment to Þll out and mail the SunÞre Customer Response card. Also read the serial number located on the control panel and record it here:

Care

To maintain the speaker cabinet’s Þn- ish, Þrst unplug the power cord and then use a soft cloth to clean the surfaces.

To keep the large rubber surrounds soft and supple for 20 years or more, treat them with MINK OIL, available at most shoe repair stores. Unplug the power cord, and rub a generous amount into the surrounds with a soft cloth about once

a year (more often if you live in a dry climate).

If your SunÞre Subwoofer needs ser- vicing, please read the Troubleshooting section on page 21. If a problem still persists, contact your nearest authorized SunÞre Dealer.
