Protection Circuitry

for a subwoofer is tucked away in a corner of your listening room. This location will usually provide the greatest output levels with optimum low frequency extension. The worst location for a subwoofer it typically far away from any walls, and close to the center of your room. Avoid these locations when possible. When using a pair of Velodyne subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer by the satellite of the same channel.

Caution!

This subwoofer has electronics built into the cabinet. Do not place the cabinet next to sources of heat such as furnace registers, radiators, etc. Do not place the unit near sources of excessive moisture, such as evaporative coolers, humidifiers, etc. The power cord should be routed in such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched, or compressed in any way that could result in damaging the insulation or wire.

Regardless of where you install your Velodyne subwoofer, it must remain inanuprightposition(wooferfacingforward).Using,shipping,orotherwise storing the subwoofer in any other position for an extended period of time may result in damage to the unit not covered by warranty.

Certain types of televisions are particularly sensitive to stray magnetic fields. If your television produces distorted colors after installing your subwoofer, simply increase the distance between your television and the subwoofer, until normal color and operation is returned.
