2.3: FUSE PROTECTION

An additional mains fuse is provided in the IEC power inlet on the back of the loudspeaker, which can only be removed with
the power cord unplugged. A fuse of the same type and rating must replace this. The correct type is listed in section 4, Technical
Specification and marked on the rear of the unit.

2.4: FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION

• Store the complete packaging in case it is needed for re-use.
• Never expose the unit to moisture, water and extremes of temperature or humidity. Specifically, the unit shall not be exposed
to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit. Allow 150mm
behind the unit to allow for sufficient ventilation. Articles such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains etc must not impede the
ventilation. Do not operate with the rear panel facing a radiator or heater. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
• Never remove the rear panel of the unit, as there is a risk of electric shock.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Always refer servicing to your Tannoy dealer or authorised service agent.
• Avoid violent shocks to the unit during packing or transportation.
• Do not plug the unit into the mains until all other connections have been made and checked.
• Due to the powerful magnet within 5.1 Sub 15, do not place within 1m of a television or computer monitor.
• When set to the 'standby' and 'off' functions, a small amount of current continues to flow to the apparatus when not in use.
If not used for a long period of time, it is recommended that the apparatus be completely disconnected at the AC mains socket.
• Terminals marked with the flash symbol are hazardous live and the external wiring connected to these terminals requires
installation by a qualified person or the use of a ready-made lead or cord.
• This apparatus is designed for indoor use in moderate climates.

3.0: INSTALLING 5.1 SUB 15 IN YOUR SYSTEM

As the 5.1 SUB 15 produces low frequencies only and is effectively omni directional, it is difficult to aurally localise its position.
It can therefore be placed anywhere in the room, but the position of the subwoofer will affect its frequency response, level and
the phase difference between the other speakers in the system. To gain optimum performance, some experimentation and
4
testing will be required.
