If this occurs, place theSubwoofer farther away from the turntable or reduce theSubwoofer volume (By rotating the VOLUME controlcounterclock-wise). The howling phenomenon may also occurdue to cross interference with a cassette deck, compact discplayer, or Laserdisc player, although this is very rare. If soundor picture seems to be distorted due to this reason, place theSubwoofer farther away from other components or reduce itsvolume.Operation near a TVIf the Subwoofer is installed near a TV set, the TV receptionmay be affected and interfered with color irregularities. Shouldcolor irregularities observed on TV screen, separate theSubwoofer from the TV until its reception becomes normal.CautionTo assure ventilation, observe the following points when in-stalling the unit.• Leave a distance of more than 10cm between the Subwoofer backand the surrounding wall(s).Use special care not to cover theheat sink with a curtain, etc. wheninstalling.• Be sure to install the Subwoofer ver-tically.ConnectionsBefore connection:Set the POWER switches of the amplifier and Subwoofer to OFF. If they are connected with the POWER switch(es) left ON,one or both components may be damaged.SUBSUBWOOFEROOFERLINE INPUTSUBWOOFERPRE OUTAmplifier or ReceiverPin-plug cordThe Subwoofer is a virtually omnidirectional speaker, so it canbe installed in almost any location. For example, the Subwoofercan be installed next to the component system (consisting ofan amplifier, tuner, cassette deck, etc.), or in a corner of theroom, etc.. The subwoofer’s deep-bass reproduction charac-teristics are richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corneror near a wall. Since the low-bass component in music is usu-ally monaural, only one subwoofer is necessary to obtain asufficient stereo effect when used in combination with a ste-reo music system.Vertical installationIf your amplifier or receiver outputs only the L/R separated,line-level signals, it is required to use an adapter for synthesiz-ing the L and R signals (not provided) in order to connect theSubwoofer to such an amplifier or receiver.
