On installation

Do not install the subwoofer near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock. Good ventilation is essential to prevent internal heat build-up in the subwoofer. Place the subwoofer in a location with adequate air circulation. Do not place the subwoofer on a soft surface or too close to a wall as this may obstruct the ventilation hole on the back. Use caution when placing the subwoofer on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result. Take care to avoid any possible injury on the corners of the subwoofer.

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).

Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord from the subwoofer and from your amplifier to a wall outlet. Make sure that power to the subwoofer is turned off before you plug in or unplug any power cord.

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.
