When turning on or off an amplifier or other equipment
Lower the volume of the amplifier to minimum.
To avoid damaging the subwoofer
Be careful in setting the volume control of the amplifier to avoid an excessive input power. Do not attempt to open the enclosure or remove speaker units and networks. Do not press the dust cap intentionally or unintentionally.

Before you get started

Turn off the power of the amplifier and the subwoofer before making any connection. Use the audio connecting cords that are supplied to the respective equipment. If there are not enough audio connecting cords to make the necessary connections, you need to purchase some optional audio connecting cords. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid noise. Connect the AC power cord from the subwoofer to a wall outlet. You cannot connect the CENTER output jack for use with Dolby Pro Logic function to the subwoofer. Bass sound is not output with some Dolby Pro Logic modes.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Connecting to an amplifier with double (A + B) sets of speaker terminals
If your amplifier has double (A + B) sets of speaker terminals, connect both the subwoofer and the front speakers to the amplifier.

On cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Since the human ear cannot detect the direction and position where the bass sound being reproduced by a subwoofer (below 200 Hz) comes from, you can install the subwoofer wherever you like in your room. To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend you to install the subwoofer on a solid floor where the resonance is unlikely to occur. You can obtain a sufficient heavy bass reproduction from a single subwoofer. However if you use a couple of the subwoofers, you can obtain an even more effective heavy bass reproduction.

Always install the subwoofer vertically, keeping a few centimeters away from the wall. Do not place an object on the subwoofer or sit on it. If the subwoofer is installed in the center of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happened, move the subwoofer away from the center of a room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by installing a bookshelf on the wall, etc.
Connect the subwoofer to the amplifier. (E)
Connect the SPEAKER IN terminals of the subwoofer to the amplifiers SPEAKER B terminals using speaker cords (not supplied).
Ne pas installer le caisson de grave prs dune source de chaleur, comme un radiateur ou une bouche dair chaud, dans un endroit en plein soleil ou expos de la poussire, des vibrations ou des chocs mcaniques. Une bonne ventilation est essentielle pour viter une surchauffe interne du caisson. Installez le caisson dans un endroit o la circulation dair est suffisante.

CAUTION

You are cautioned that any changes or modification not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. The shielded interface cable recommended in this manual must be used with this equipment in order to comply with The limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
When using the double (A + B) sets of speakers, make sure that you select the A + B position with your amplifier.
When you are using SPEAKER A terminals only (front speaker only) or when the power of the amplifier is turned off, turn down the volume or turn off the power of the subwoofer otherwise, hum noise may be heard.

Connecting to an amplifier with a special jack for a subwoofer
If your amplifier has a special jack for a subwoofer (like a MONO OUT jack, MIX OUT jack, SUBWOOFER jack or SUPER WOOFER jack), connect the LINE IN jack of the subwoofer to one of those jacks using the supplied audio connecting cord. (F)

Use of this appliance with some systems may present a shock or fire hazard. Do not use with any units which have the following marking located near output. WARNING: HAZARDOUS ENERGY!

Hookups

Connect the MONO OUT jack of your amplifier to the LINE IN jack of the subwoofer with the supplied audio connecting cord. (G)
If the output level of your amplifier is not large enough, the sound may not be loud enough. In this case, connect the speaker terminals of the amplifier directly to the SPEAKER IN terminals of the subwoofer.

Adjust the VOLUME so that sound from the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the sound from the subwoofer will also be distorted.
To turn on and off the power automatically Auto power on/off function (J)
When the subwoofer 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 subwoofer enters power saving mode. While in this mode a signal is input to the subwoofer, the subwoofer automatically turns on (auto power on/off function). To turn this feature off, slide the POWER SAVE switch on the rear panel to OFF.
Never set the amplifiers tone control (BASS, TREBLE, etc.) or the equalizer output to a high level or input sine curves 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. The subwoofer output signal (DOLBY digital 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. If you turn down the volume level of the amplifier too low, the auto power on/off function may activate, causing the subwoofer to enter power saving mode.
If the sound distorts when you turn on the bass reinforcement from your amplifier (such as, D.B.F.B., GROOVE, the graphic equalizer, etc.), turn off the bass reinforcement and adjust the sound. Do not turn the LEVEL knob to maximum. Doing so may weaken the bass sound. Moreover, extraneous noise may be heard. Selecting NORMAL or REVERSE with the PHASE selector reverses the polarity and may provide better bass reproduction in certain listening environments (depending on the type of front speakers, the position of the subwoofer and the adjustment of the cut-off frequency). It may also change the expanse and tightness of sound, and effect the feeling of the sound field. Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when listening in your normal listening position.
