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 charac-

teristics are richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner

or near a wall. Since the low-bass component in music is usu-

ally monaural, only one subwoofer is necessary to obtain a

sufficient stereo effect when used in combination with a ste-

reo music system.

 CAUTION

To assure ventilation, observe the following points

when installing the unit.

• Leave a distance of more than 10 cm between the

Subwoofer back and the surrounding wall(s).

Use special care not to cover the heat sink with a cur-

tain, etc. when installing.

• Do not place the equipment onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet,

or similar. Sucked-in dust can cause fire.

• Be sure to install the Subwoofer vertically.
