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
If your receiver or amplifier has
no subwoofer pre-amp output:
3.
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)
