example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the
like.
Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including
heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.
It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5˚C
(41˚F) or greater than 35˚C (95˚F ).
Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to

table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the unit.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Portable cart - An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space
around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10
cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm
from the each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of
the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface. This unit should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is
provided.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the

Electric Power
Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company. To
operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
Lightning
For added protection for this unit receiver during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit
due to lightning and powerline surges.
Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use
a damp cloth for cleaning.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
1) When the power cord or plug is damaged.
2) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the unit.
3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
4) If the unit does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance
- this indicates a need for service.
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or having the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

PREPARATIONS
Positioning
Because low-frequency sound reproduced by the powered
subwoofer is mostly non-directional, the listener will be unable
to localize the bass source. Accordingly, the powered
subwoofer provides maximum flexibility in terms of
positioning. For the most effective low-frequency sound, the
powered subwoofer should be placed on the floor close to a
En
wall or in a corner of the room.
(Position example)
Connection
There are two ways (A and B) to connect TS-W150
to equipment (stereo system, receiver or etc).
If the epuipment has an output jack for subwoofer,
use AConnection.
If not, use BConnection..
Note
Do not connect TS-W150 to equipment in both A and B
ways simultaneously.

NORMAL or REVERSE position, whichever sounds better.
BASS SOUND RANGE
You can adjust the sound range of the powered subwoofer to
complement the sound range of the other speakers.
Set the TURN OVER switch to one of the three positions.
60 Hz: Output 60 Hz and under.
100 Hz: Output 100 Hz and under.
