Speaker Precautions
Placement

≥ The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore

sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in
locations subject to direct su nlight or in humid places, such as
near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

≥ Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is

spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.

≥ Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are

free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces,
where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound
quality.

Safety precautions

≥ Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position

only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.

≥ If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player,

howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move
the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player,
otherwise lower the unit’s output level.

Use wit h a TV set

In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets, etc. are extremely
sensitive and can be affected even by the magnetism of the earth. If a
speaker system is used near them, therefore, discoloring or distortion of
pictures will occur. These speakers are not provided with magnetic
shielding. If discoloration or dis tortion occurs, move the speaker s apart
from the television set.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal
music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if
the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1 Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2 Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3 High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical

instrument, and so on.
4 Amplifier oscillation.
5 Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6 Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio

cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or

disconnecting cables).
7 Microphone feedback.
