OPERATION
After you have connected your subwoofer, adjusted it for proper operation
with the rest of your system, and experimented to find the best location
for it, it’s time to sit back and enjoy it. As you do, here are some hints for
getting the most out of your subwoofer.
A) The subwoofer’s level control is designed to adjust the balance between
your subwoofer and main stereo speakers and should not be used as a
substitute for the bass or loudness controls on your amplifier or receiver. If
more bass is desired, advance the bass or loudness controls on your main
amplifier or receiver.
B) Your subwoofer’s auto turn-on-turn-off feature allows “set it and forget
it” operation by keeping the electronics in a standby mode until a signal is
detected, which turns the amplifier on instantly. When there is no signal
present after a few minutes, the electronics will again shut down to the
standby mode. We do suggest that you turn the subwoofer off by its power
switch if it is to be unused for an extended period of time. For additional
protection against damage from lightning, we recommend unplugging the
line cord.
C) The tone controls on your preamplifier, receiver, or amplifier should be
used with caution and care. Excessive boost in certain frequency ranges
can cause heavy demands on amplifier and loudspeaker components
resulting in overheating, distortion, mechanical overload, and premature
failure.
CARE AND CLEANING
Your subwoofer is finished in a durable vinyl and may be wiped clean with
a damp cloth as needed when the power switch is turned off.
