Unpacking the VPS 210

Carefully unpack the subwoofer. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.

The high gloss finish of the VPS 210 cabinet is protected during shipment with a clear plastic film. Remove the film by lifting up a corner and care- fully pulling it off. Repeat the procedure for all the cabinet surfaces.

Placement Options

Place the VPS 210 next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer is within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the main speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.

The level of bass output from the VPS 210 will vary at different positions in a room. When placed near walls, its loudness is em- phasized. Corner placement provides the most bass output. Placement completely away from walls will reduce bass output. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the subwoofer from the built in Volume Control. If at any time you move the subwoofer be sure to check all of your settings.

Connections

After the VPS 210 is properly placed, you are ready to connect it to your system. The inputs for the VPS 210 are on the underside of the unit. To access them you will need to roll the cabinet onto one of its end panels. Do not lay the unit on its side. Doing so will damage the grilles! The illustration shows the correct position for making connections. To prevent damage to the cabinet do this on a carpeted or other well padded surface.

WARNING: The VPS 210 is heavy – more than 60 lbs! Get someone to help you when moving it around.
