Speaker Precautions
Placement
•The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi- tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
•Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.
•Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam- age, will affect the sound quality.
•Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti- cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
•If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s output level.
