Location Precautions

Interference with AM Reception

The subwoofer utilizes digital circuitry to provide efficient signal amplification. Placing
the subwoofer too close to your AM receiver (AM tuner) may therefore cause interference
with AM reception. If you notice noise in your AM reception, you can correct the problem
by moving the subwoofer farther from the receiver.

• The subwoofer will not produce interference if its power is off or if its volume is set

to minimum level. If interference occurs under these conditions, the problem lies
elsewhere.

• If you are using a freestanding indoor antenna (such as a loop antenna) with your AM

device, keep the antenna (and antenna wires) as far as possible from the subwoofer
(and subwoofer wires).

Separate

KENWOODKENWOOD

Subwoofer and Satellite Speaker Magnetic Shielding and TV Color Reception

The speakers (subwoofer and satellite speaker) include magnetic shielding and can
therefore be installed close to a TV set. If installing close to a TV, however, be sure to
follow the procedure below. This will allow the TV's automatic degaussing feature to
correct for any magnetic field generated by the speakers. Neglecting to set the speakers
up according to this procedure may result in color distortion on the TV.

1 Switch off all power to the TV.
2 Set up the speakers, and then wait at least 30 minutes before switching the

power to the TV back on.

If color irregularities occur even after you have followed the steps above, move the
speakers farther from the TV.

• If using the speakers close to your TV, keep it well separated from other magnetic
sources. Interaction of an external magnet with the speakers may produce distortion
in TV color.

• Electromagnetism generated by the TV may cause the speakers to produce sound
even while the stereo or AM device connected to it is off. You can correct the problem
by moving the speakers farther from the TV.

Feedback (Howling)

Installing the subwoofer too close to an analog record player may result in howling,
caused by feedback of sound into the player. You can correct the problem by reducing the
subwoofer volume or by moving the subwoofer further from the player.

FRANÇAIS

DEUTSCH

NEDERLANDS

CAUTION (SUBWOOFER only)

To ensure adequate ventilation and prevent risk of fire or damage from overheating,
please observe the following.

÷ Never place objects that would impair heat release onto the top of the

unit.

÷ Leave adequate open space on all sides. Minimum required open space

at each side (measuring from the greatest protection is as follows.)

Top panel : 50 cm Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm

In rare cases, feedback may also occur with cassette decks or with CD, minidisk, and DVD
players, producing howling or other types of sound or image distortion. Again, you can
correct the problem by reducing the subwoofer volume or moving the subwoofer.

Precautions

Please observe the following precautions when mounting speaker stands onto
the wall.

• Be sure that the wall you are using is strong enough to support the full
weight of the speaker and stand (approx. 650 g [1.4 lb]).

• Wall screws must be purchased separately. Be sure to use screws that are
appropriate for the wall you are using, and that are long enough to pro­vide sufficient strength.

• If you are uncertain about the wall’s support strength, the type of screw to
use, or any other points regarding this type of installation, please consult
a contractor or other qualified person before proceeding.

Be sure to follow the procedure given here when carrying out installation.
Kenwood can assume no liability for injury or damage that may occur if a
speaker setup falls from the wall as a result of incorrect installation or insuffi­cient support strength.

Use the following procedure to clip the speaker onto an object other than the
base. You can clip to either a cylindrical fixture (such as a thin pipe) or a flat-edge
fixture (such as the edge of a bookshelf).

Conditions

If flat: Width should be 12 to 15 mm (about 0.5 to 0. 6 inches)
If cylindrical: Diameter should be 12 to 20 mm (about 0.5 to 0.8 inches).

4. Connect the satellite speaker to the base of the stand using separately pur­chased extension speaker cord.

• Use cord that has a mini-plug (3.5-mm) at one end and a mini-jack (3.5-mm) on

the other. Do not connect the wire from the speaker directly to an amp; the
connection must be relayed through the base.

Removing and Reattaching the Screen

Use the following proceeding to remove or reattach the subwoofer's front
screen.

Contact Restorers

Never use contact restoring agents to restore electrical connections, as these
may cause the subwoofer to fail. Agents that include oil may in addition lead to
deformation of the plastic.

1. To remove the screen:

➀ Gently pull the bottom of the screen so that it comes free of the subwoofer.
➁ Hold the top of the screen and pull it, so that the screen comes off.

2. To attach the screen:

➀ Attach the top of the screen first. Hold the screen so that the pegs (at the

top right and left) are aligned with the corresponding holes on the super­woofer, and push in to attach.

➁ Push the lower corners to attach the screen at the bottom.
