Installation
Observe the following general pre cau -
tions and read the safety in struc tions on
pages 2 and 3 before using your SunÞ re
Subwoofer.
• Never open the cabinet or remove
the metal control panel as this
might result in an electrical shock to
you, or dam age to the unit.
• Protect it from prolonged ex po sure
to direct sunlight and other direct
sources of heat, such as heating
vents and ra di a tors.
• To prevent Þ re or shock, do not
expose the unit to rain or moisture.
If ß uid or a foreign object should
enter the unit, immediately turn off
the power and contact your SunÞ re
Dealer.
• Avoid excessive exposure to
extreme cold or dust.
• Do not place heavy objects on top
of the unit.
• Do not place the subwoofer with its
control panel against the ß oor.
• If you wish to place your subwoofer
so the drivers face the ß oor and
ceiling, thereby moving up and
down, use at least 1-1/2 inch high
spikes or feet for support. They
may be attached either with screws
or self-stick backing. This ar range -
ment will impart substantial house
and ß oor shaking motion.
• Four extra heavy, shock absorbing
rubber mounting feet have been
included. If your subwoofer tends
to wander about slightly while in
use, place these feet just inside
the existing feet positions. These
shock absorbing mounts will let
the subwoofer rock freely, thereby
absorbing low frequency rocking
energy, allowing it to adhere solidly
to the ß oor.
• To move the subwoofer along the
ß oor, rotate it onto one edge onto a
plastic sheet or bag, and it will slide
along easier.
Heat rise
• Allow adequate ventilation around
the metal control panel of the
subwoofer.
• Do not let anything come into
contact with the panel and keep
at least two inches away from any
walls.
The metal control plate serves as the
am pli Þ er heat sink and also as a conduit
to remove internal heat to the outside
and into the atmosphere. It can reach
tem per a tures of 60 degrees C, which
will feel hot to the touch, using nerves of
ß esh and blood as tem per a ture sen-
sors. As uncomfortable as it may feel, 60
degrees C cannot burn you, and in fact is
almost cool to copper, silicon, steel, and
aluminum, the materials from which your
subwoofer is con struct ed.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into an
outlet capable of supplying the correct
voltage speciÞ ed for your model.
Unplug your subwoofer’s power cord
from the electrical outlet if it will be left
unused for a long period of time.
Route the power-supply cord so it is not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against it, es pe cial ly at
plugs, con ve nience re cep ta cles, and the
point where it exits from the unit.
Magnetic Fields
We recommend that you place your
subwoofer further than two feet away
from your TV, VCR, tape deck or com-
puter, so the speak er’s magnet won’t
distort the colors of your TV picture or
erase your video tapes, audio tapes or
computer discs.
