• Only connect this uni t to a power
supply of the type des cribed in t he
operating instructions or marked
on the unit.

is not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or
against it, especially a t plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where it exits from the unit.
• Placing the subwoofer on the
same stand or shelf as your turntable can result in low frequency
rumble or acoustic feedback.

Cautions:
• To prevent fire or shock, do not
expose this subwoofer to rain or
moisture.
• Do not place the subwoofer with
its metal plate against the floor.
• Place the subwoofer away from
heat sources such as radiators,
stoves, or other appliances that
produce heat.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Cautions:
• To prevent the cabinet from warping or discoloring, do not place the
subwoofer in a place where it is
exposed to direct sunlight or
excessive humidit y.
• Do not place the subwoofer where
it might be knocked over or
exposed to falling objects.
Although low frequencies are non-directional, factors such as room ref lections, standing waves, res onance and
absorption strongly affect your subwoofer’s performance. For maximum
bass output, place your subwoofer in a
corner. To reduce output, move it
away from corners and back walls.
Even slightly moving the subwoofer
can have a major effect on bass response.
We recommend that you test the subwoofer in different locations to determine where the best balance is
between your satellite speakers (if
used) and subwoofer. We also recommend that you place the PRO SW200P at least 4 inches away from the
wall, and at least 2–3 feet away from
your television or computer’s disk drive
system so the subwoofer’s magnet will
not distort the colors of your TV picture
or erase your floppy disks.
• The metal control panel on the
back of the PRO SW-200P acts as
the heat sink for the subwoofer’s
internal amplifier. Therefore, place
the unit at least 4 inches (10 cm)
away from a wall, and do not let
anything come into contact with
this panel.
Where and how you position your subwoofer greatly affects its bass response. Adjusting the subwoofer’s
volume control in relation to the left
and right speakers and adjusting the
subwoofer’s high cut filter also affects
your speakers’ overall sound.
CONNECTING TO AN
AMPLIFIER
You can connect y our PRO SW-200P
to an amplifier/receiver’s line out or
speaker terminals.
You can connect your PRO SW-
Note:
200P to your television if your television has line out jacks.
