Introduction
Congratulations! The Kenwood SW-200 Powered Subwoofer will bring a new level of bass to your stereo system. Installing the subwoofer isn’t difficult, but please read and follow all of the instructions on these pages to get maximum performance from your SW-200.
If you’re installing this subwoofer as part of the Kenwood KSS-200 or KSS-500 packages, or if you’re connecting other equipment, such as a receiver, power amplifier or pre-amplifier, use this manual in combination with the manuals that came with those components.
Unpacking
In this box you should have:
1 SW-200 Powered Subwoofer
4 optional mounting feet (and 4 anchor screws)
Unpack the subwoofer carefully, and examine it for shipping damage. If it is damaged or fails to operate, notify your Kenwood dealer immediately.
If it was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the person or company who originally received the speaker can file a claim against the carrier for shipping damage.
Keep the original carton and packing materials in case you need to transport or ship your subwoofer in the future.
What else will you need?
To connect the subwoofer to your receiver or amplifier, you will need:
Speaker wire or an RCA-type audio cable
For best performance, use 16-gauge (or thicker) speaker wire. (Remember, the smaller the number, the thicker the wire—so 16-gauge wire is thicker than 20-gauge wire).
Be sure to get enough speaker wire or an RCA-type cable that’s long enough to allow you to move the subwoofer around while you find the right location for it.
Before you get started
A few notes of caution about setting up and using your new subwoofer:
•Before you connect the subwoofer to your receiver or amplifier, make sure that the power cords on both units are unplugged from the wall outlet until you’ve finished connecting the two
•To avoid damage to the subwoofer, do not increase the output of the amplifier to a high level while the amplifier’s bass control or loudness control are activated
•When playing a vinyl record (LP), set the amplifier volume to its minimum level before placing the stylus on the record
Connecting the SW-200 to your audio system
If your receiver or amplifier has
a subwoofer pre-amp output:
(using the pre-amp output will give you the best performance from your subwoofer)
