*This product is a subwoofer system that is designed to reproduce a tight low sound range at

high speed based on time domain logic.

<<What is time domain logic?>>

Time domain logic is a logic that was developed to correctly reproduce the variation over
time from the point where the sound waves appear to the point where they disappear, and
make the waves of the reproduced sound as faithful as possible to the original sound.
“Time domain audio systems” that enhance reproducibility using time domains following
this logic have made it possible to more faithfully reproduce the orientation of sound, and
fine and delicate expressions imparted to music by the performer.

CAUTION

● Do not remove the plug from the power outlet by pulling on the cable.

This can damage the cable, leading to fire or electric shock.

● Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.

This can lead to electric shock.

● Do not run the power cable close to hot equipment.

The insulation on the cable will melt, leading to fire or electric shock.

● If the plug fits loosely in the power outlet and there is some play, or the plug or cable gets hot,

do not use the cable.
Continuing to use the cable can lead to fire or electric shock.

● Plug the power supply plug into the outlet up to the base of the pins. If it is incompletely

inserted, heat will be generated and may lead to a fire when dust settles. In addition, anyone
touching the pins of the plug may sustain an electric shock.

● Do not connect to a power outlet in which the power plug is loose even though it has been

inserted up to the base of the pins. Heat will be generated and may lead to a fire. Request an
electrician to replace the outlet.

● If dust or metal debris adheres to the pins of the power plug or close to them, take the power

plug out of the outlet and remove the dust/metal with a dry cloth. Using the plug with the
dust/metal present can lead to fire or electric shock.

● Do not place the subwoofer in or overhead or unstable locations, such as on a rickety stand or

a platform with a slope.
The subwoofer may fall, leading to injuries or product failure.

● Do not place the subwoofer in a location where it will be exposed to oil smoke or water vapor,

such as next to a kitchen work table or humidifier.
This can lead to fire or accidents.

● Do not place the subwoofer in a location where it is struck directly by a cool air stream.

This can lead to condensation, current leakage or burning.

● Do not place the subwoofer in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight for long periods

of time or close to heating equipment.
This can lead to deformation or discoloration of the cabinet, or to fire.

● Do not place the subwoofer in any extremely cold location.

This can lead to product failure or accidents.

● Do not place the subwoofer close to naked flame.

This can lead to product failure or accidents.

● Do not rest your weight on the subwoofer (by standing on it or sitting on it).

The subwoofer could topple or break, injuring you.
Take particular care about this in households with young children.

● Because it is compact and lightweight, take care when handling the remote control unit.

Dropping it or subjecting it to impact can damage it or cause the battery to run down
prematurely, leading to malfunctions.

● Avoid exposing the remote control unit to humidity or dust, and do not subject it to shock or

allow any water onto it.

● If there is any radio interference due, for example, to proximity to a tuner, install the tuner and
subwoofer at a greater distance from each other.

● If installing the subwoofer directly on flooring, first affix the feet provided as accessories.

● Before moving the subwoofer, first switch off the power supply to the connected device and

disconnect the power supply cable, the connecting cables to each device, the speaker cables,
and so on.
If you move the subwoofer with the cables connected, a cable could be damaged, leading to
fire or electric shock.

● The subwoofer is heavy and must be unpacked and carried by at least two people, otherwise
injuries could result.
Note also that there are some sharp angles in the construction of the subwoofer and it must
therefore be handled with due care.

● Before cleaning/caring for the product, be sure to switch off the power supply and remove the
power cable plug from the power outlet.
Otherwise you could sustain an electric shock or injuries.

● If you do not use the subwoofer for a long time, for example when you are on vacation, for the
sake of safety always switch off the power supply and remove the power cable plug from the
power outlet.
Otherwise there will be a danger of fire.

● Before connecting a TV or any other audio device, be sure to switch off the power supply,
carefully read the instruction manuals of the devices involved, and make the connections in
accordance with the directions in these manuals.

● Before turning on the power, make sure that the volumes of the subwoofer and the amplifier are
set to minimum.
Otherwise a very loud noise could suddenly be generated, causing hearing impairment or other
problems.

● If you hear an abnormal sound while the audio equipment is operating at a high volume, turn
the volume down.

● If you continue to use the subwoofer at the high volume, or use it for a long time while it is
producing distorted sound, the speaker will heat up, and this could lead to fire.

■Before turning the power on, and before switching inputs, always set the volume to minimum.
A sudden large output could damage the connected speaker system.

■Depending on the location, your enjoyment of music could annoy other people. Please set the volume
to a suitable level so as not to disturb the neighbors.
At nighttime particularly, even a low volume of sound will travel.
Please respect each other’s concerns so as to maintain a comfortable living environment.

■Make sure that the power to all devices is off before connecting the subwoofer.

■If the subwoofer becomes soiled, wipe it lightly with a soft cloth moistened with a neutral detergent.

Do not use thinners or benzene.

■Fitting the feet

■Placing the unit

When the subwoofer is installed directly
on flooring or a similar surface, fit the
feet to the bottom of the subwoofer.

●The subwoofer has a photoreceptor for the remote
control on the indicator panel and the indicator panel
on the unit must be oriented toward the audience.

●If the subwoofer is oriented parallel to the walls of the
room, sound reflected from the walls may cancel out
some of the sound it produces, so you are
recommended to orient the subwoofer at an angle to
the walls.
