Choosing A Location; Attaching Feet; Connecting To An Amplifier - RCA PRO-SW100P Quick Manual

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Cautions:
• To prevent the cabinet from warping
or discoloring, do not place the
subwoofer in a place where it is
exposed to direct sunlight or excessive
humidity.
• Do not place the subwoofer where it
might be knocked over or exposed to
falling objects.
• The metal control panel on the back
of the PRO-SW100P acts as the heat
sink for the subwoofer’ s internal
amplifier. Therefore, place the unit at
least 4 inches (10 cm) away from a
wall, and do not let anything come
into contact with this panel.
Where and how you position your
subwoofer greatly affects its bass response.
Adjusting the subwoofer’s volume control
in relation to the left and right speakers
and adjusting the subwoofer’s high cut
filter also affects your speakers’ overall
sound.
Although low frequencies are non-
directional, factors such as room
reflections, standing waves, resonance and
absorption strongly affect your
subwoofer’s performance. For maximum
bass output, place your subwoofer in a
corner. To reduce output, move it away
from corners and back walls. Even slightly
moving the subwoofer can have a major
effect on bass response.
We recommend that you test the
subwoofer in different locations to
determine where the best balance is
between your satellite speakers (if used)
and subwoofer. We also recommend that
you place the PRO-SW100P at least 4
inches away from the wall, and at least
2–3 feet away from your television or
computer’s disk drive system so the
subwoofer’s magnet will not distort the
colors of your TV picture or erase your
floppy disks.

ATTACHING FEET

Using the supplied screws, secure the four
protective feet (packed separately) into the
threaded inserts at each corner of the
cabinet’s bottom.
CONNECTING TO AN
AMPLIFIER
You can connect your PRO-SW100P to an
amplifier/receiver’s subwoofer out or pre
out jacks or speaker terminals.
Notes:
• You can connect your PRO-SW100P
to your TV if it has variable line out
jacks.
• See “Connecting to Subwoofer Out or
Pre Out Terminals” or “Connecting to
Speaker Terminals” on Page 4.
Caution: To avoid any damage to the
subwoofer or amplifier, disconnect power
from your components before making any
connections.
