Installation

ENGLISH

The Subwoofer is a virtually omnidirectional speaker, so it can be installed in almost any location. For example, the Subwoofer can be installed next to the component system (consisting of an amplifier, tuner, cassette deck, etc.), or in a corner of the room, etc.. The subwoofer’s deep-bass reproduction charac- teristics are richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner or near a wall. Since the low-bass component in music is usu- ally monaural, only one subwoofer is necessary to obtain a sufficient stereo effect when used in combination with a ste- reo music system.

Howling

If the Subwoofer is installed near an analog record turntable, a howling sound may be generated. If this occurs, place the Subwoofer farther away from the turntable or reduce the Subwoofer volume (By rotating the VOLUME control counterclock-wise). The howling phenomenon may also occur due to cross interference with a cassette deck, compact disc player, or Laserdisc player, although this is very rare. If sound or picture seems to be distorted due to this reason, place the Subwoofer farther away from other components or reduce its volume.

Operation near a TV

If the Subwoofer is installed too close to a TV, color irregulari- ties may be observed on the TV screen. If such irregularities occur, switch the power of the TV to OFF and then switch it ON again after waiting for a period of 15 to 30 minutes. The influence of the Subwoofer on theTV picture may be improved by self-demagnetization of the TV set. If the color irregularities still persist, move the Subwoofer farther away from the TV.

Caution

To assure ventilation, observe the follow- ing points when installing the unit.

•Leave a distance of more than 10 cm between the heat sink of the Subwoofer and the surrounding wall(s).

Use special care not to cover the heat sink with a curtain, etc. when installing.

•Be sure to install the Subwoofer vertically.

Connections

Before connection:

Set the POWER switches of the amplifier and Subwoofer to OFF. If they are connected with the POWER switch(es) left ON, one or both components may be damaged.
