AGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY! The fuse in the PVs 15 Sub can be replaced with a time-delay type 5 x 20 mm size 250V rated fuse. For 100- 120VAC operation, a fuse rated at 5 amps should be used. In the USA, types GDC, GMC, 215, 218, and 477 car- tridge-style 5 x 20 mm size fuses with a 5 amp 250V rating can be used.
TROL TOO LOW MAY ALLOW THE SATELLITE SPEAKER TO BE OVERLOADED BY DEEP BASS! Setting the control lower DOES NOT increase the deep bass output of the PVs 15 Sub, a middle range (9:30 to 2:30 clock face position) setting works best for most speakers.
Sub not be placed in a closed space or a space that has no fresh, cool airflow. DO NOT connect the inputs of the PVs 15 Sub to the output of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be driven from a line-level strength signal.

(15 & 16), is to use a balanced XLR cable no longer than necessary to comfortably reach the satellite speaker system. If the satellite speaker is on top of a pole above the PVs 15 Sub, then a 6 foot cable will be plenty long. A 10, or 20 foot cable could also be used, but cables longer than that will only allow more interference pickup, and possibly start to lose high frequency information.
