TABLE OF CONTENTS

BOOKSHELF-75 OWNERS:

 IF YOU ARE USING A SUBWOOFER

DO NOT REMOVE THE SPECIAL FOAM PLUG

ON THE FRONT BAFFLE OF YOUR SPEAKERS.

 This special foam plug tunes the perfomance of  your loudspeaker system.  If you are using

your Bookshelf-75 speaker with a separate subwoofer, leave the plug in place.  If you do not

have a subwoofer, you may want to remove the plug, because its removal will produce more

bass output from the Bookshelf-75. See Section 4 on page 4 for more information.

DO NOT DISCARD THE FOAM PLUG
