Franais Precautions

On safety

Before operating the subwoofer, be sure that the operating voltage of your subwoofer is identical with that of your local power supply. Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the subwoofer, unplug the subwoofer and have the subwoofer checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

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.

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).

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.
