Unplug the subwoofer power cord from the electrical outlet if it will not be used for a long time.

Only connect this unit to a power supply of the type described in the owner’s manual or marked on the unit.

Route the power-supply cord so it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, especially at the plug, the outlet, and the point where the cord exits the unit.

Placing the subwoofer on the same stand or shelf as your turntable can result in a low-frequency rumble or acoustic feedback.

Cautions:

To prevent fire or shock, do not expose this subwoofer to rain or moisture.

Do not place the subwoofer with its metal plate against the floor.

Place the subwoofer away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Cautions:

To prevent the cabinet from warping or discoloring, do not place the subwoofer in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

Do not place the subwoofer where it might be knocked over or exposed to falling objects.

The metal control panel on the back of the subwoofer acts as the heat sink for the subwoofer’s internal amplifier. Therefore, place the unit at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from a wall, and do not let anything come into contact with this panel.

Where and how you position your subwoofer greatly affects its bass response. Adjusting the subwoofer’s volume control in relation to the left and right speakers and adjusting the subwoofer’s high cut filter also affects your speakers’ overall sound.

Although low frequencies are non- directional, factors such as room reflections, standing waves, resonance, and absorption strongly affect your subwoofer’s performance. For maximum bass output, place your subwoofer in a corner. To reduce output, move it away from corners and back walls. Even slightly moving the subwoofer can have a major effect on bass response.

We recommend that you test the subwoofer in different locations to determine where the best balance is between your satellite speakers (if used) and subwoofer. We also recommend that you place the subwoofer at least 4 inches away from the wall, and at least 2–3 feet away from your television or computer’s disk drive system so the subwoofer’s magnet will not distort the colors of your TV picture or erase your floppy disks.
