Installation

The Subwoofer is a virtually omnidirectional speaker, so it
can be installed in almost any location. For example, the
Subwoofer can be installed next to the component system
(consisting of an amplifier, tuner, cassette deck, etc.), or in
a corner of the room, etc.. The subwoofer's deep-bass
reproduction characteristics are richest when the subwoofer
is installed in a corner or near a wall. Since the low-bass
component in music is usually monaural, only one
subwoofer is necessary to obtain a sufficient stereo effect
when used in combination with a stereo music system.

Howling
If the Subwoofer is installed near an analog record turnta-
ble, a howling sound may be generated. If this occurs,
place the Subwoofer farther away from the turntable or
reduce the Subwoofer volume. The howling phenomenon
may also occur due to cross interference with a cassette
deck, compact disc player, or Laserdisc player, although
this is very rare. If sound or picture seems to be distorted
due to this reason, place the Subwoofer farther away from
other components or reduce its volume.
Operation near a TV
If the Subwoofer is installed near a TV set, the TV reception
may be affected and interfered with color irregularities.
Should color irregularities observed on TV screen, separate
the Subwoofer from the TV until its reception becomes
normal.
