Note

Never set the amplifier’s tone control (BASS, TREBLE, etc.) or the equalizer output to a high level or input sinewaves of 20 Hz to 50 Hz recorded on a commercially- available test disc or special sound (bass sound of electronic musical instrument, pop noise of analog disc turntable, sound with abnormally enhanced bass, etc.) in a high level to this unit. These actions may cause damage to the speakers. When a special disc containing abnormally enhanced bass is played, noise may be output in addition to the original sound. In such a case, decrease the sound level.

Note

The subwoofer output signal (DOLBY digital (AC-3) signal) of the digital surround processor sold singularly is set 10 dB higher by Dolby laboratories Licensing Corporation. In the case of using normally, adjust the subwoofer level.

Note

If you turn down the volume level of the woofer too low, the auto power on/off function may activate, causing the woofer to enter power saving mode.

When the woofer is on (i.e, the POWER indicator lights up green) and there is no signal input for about seven minutes, the POWER indicator changes to red and the woofer enters power saving mode. While in this mode a signal is input to the woofer, the woofer automatically turns on (auto power on/off function).

To turn this feature off, slide the POWER SAVE switch on the rear panel to OFF.
