Installation
Observe the following general precau-
tions and read the safety instructions
on pages  and  before using your
Subwoofer.
• Never open the cabinet or remove
the metal control panel as this
might result in an electrical shock to
you or damage to the unit.
• Protect the subwoofer from
prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight and other direct sources
of heat, such as heating vents and
radiators.
• To prevent fire or shock, do not
expose the unit to rain or moisture.
If fluid or a foreign object should
enter the unit, immediately turn off
the power and contact your 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 floor.
Heat
• Allow adequate ventilation around
the metal control panel of the
subwoofer.
• Let nothing come into contact with
the panel and keep it at least two
inches away from any walls.
The metal control plate serves as the
amplifier heat sink, and also removes
internal heat to the outside and into the
atmosphere. It can reach temperatures
of 60 degrees C, which feels hot to the
touch.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the subwoofer is plugged
into an outlet capable of supplying the
correct voltage specified for your model.
Unplug your subwoofer’s power cord
from the electrical outlet whenever you
leave the subwoofer unused for a long
period of time.
Note: Never remove the ground
pin from any power cords. This is
very dangerous.
Route the power supply cord away
from areas where it is likely to be walked
on, or pinched by items placed upon
it or against it, especially near the AC
wall socket, any multi power strips, or
near where the IEC cord attaches to the
component.
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 speaker’s magnet won’t
distort the colors of your TV picture or
erase your video tapes, audio tapes or
computer discs.
