Preliminaries
Unpack the subwoofer following the guidelines given earlier.
The subwoofer is set to the voltage in your area. If you move to an area
with a different voltage, take the unit to a qualified technician to have the
voltage changed. This is something that you should not do yourself.
Before connecting the subwoofer please make sure that all the active
units in your system are switched off at the mains.

Positioning the Subwoofer

Bass frequencies are substantially omnidirectional. Although this means
that you can position the subwoofer almost anywhere, the stereo image
will still benefit by siting the subwoofer level with the front loudspeakers
and as central to the listening position as possible. This may not be
feasible in a multichannel system. If you place the subwoofer close to a
wall the bass will be re-inforced though in some locations the bass may
be boomy and indistinct. Do not place the subwoofer across a corner.
The subwoofer should be positioned close to a mains power source. Do
not use extension cables. Purchase a longer power cord if necessary.
The MAINS ON/OFF switch is the means of disconnecting this apparatus
from the mains and is mounted on the rear panel. There should be ample
free space between the rear of the cabinet and any wall or other object to
allow free unrestricted access to this switch.
When siting the subwoofer ensure the floor is sound with no loose
floorboards etc. The air movement from the subwoofer at high volumes is
substantial - do not place it close to soft furnishings or objects that may
rattle. Do not place objects of any kind on the unit.
