INTRODUCTION

Infinity’s HPS-500 and HPS-1000 subwoofers have been designed to enhance the bass frequenci of any audio system. Both subwoofers may be used with speakers of any size. Obviously, th greatest bass enhancement will be achieved when the subwoofer is connected to speakers that d not have the capability to create deep bass.

UNPACKING THE SUBWOOFER

Check your subwoofer carefully. If it has been damaged in transit, report the damag immediately by calling your dealer and/or the trucking firm that delivered it.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS SUBWOOFER SYSTEM TO RAIN EXCESSIVE MOISTURE OR PROLONGED DIRECT SUNLIGHT. To avoid electric shock, D NOT OPEN THE SUBWOOFER! There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Observe a warnings and cautions.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS

We recommend that you not operate your speakers or subwoofer with the bass, treble an loudness controls set to full boost. This will place undue strain on your electronics and speake and could damage them.

The volume control setting on your preamplifier or stereo receiver is not a specific indication the overall loudness level of the speakers. The only important consideration is the loudness lev at which the system can be played regardless of where the volume control is set.

Always turn down the volume control setting on your preamplifier or stereo when changing cassette or CD, or switching inputs to AM or FM operation. Excessively loud transients (clicks o popping sounds) can damage the satellite speakers and possibly the subwoofer.

Whenever changing cables, pulling plugs, etc., ALWAYS TURN OFF ALL EQUIPMENT, includ ing the subwoofer. This prevents transients from entering the speakers and prevents electric energy from reaching you. Keep all connections out of the reach of children.
