Note on usage
Do not touch the diaphragm of either woofer unit.
The color and appearance (grain patterns) may vary among the enclosures because
natural wood is used. Depending on lighting conditions, the enclosures may look
different, but this does not indicate damage.
*1 Before attaching the grille frame, confirm its correct mounting orientation. When
attaching, press above the pin to firmly secure it. If the grille frame is protruding
outward (it will not come off), push it all the way in. Attaching the grille frames is
recommended even when not using the speakers in order to protect them from damage.
The speakers can be enjoyed with the grille frames attached, but superior performance
can be achieved by removing the grille frames. When removing the grille frame, take
care not to bend or distort its shape excessively.
Setting the speakers
Since the human ear cannot detect the direction and position where the bass sound being
reproduced by a subwoofer (below 200 Hz) comes from, you can install the subwoofer
wherever you like in your room. To obtain better bass reproduction, install the subwoofer
on a solid floor where resonance will not occur.
You can obtain sufficient heavy bass reproduction from a single subwoofer. However, using
multiple subwoofers will yield more effective bass reproduction.
Notes
Install the subwoofer vertically, 30 cm (12 in) away from walls.
Do not place any object on the subwoofer or sit on it.
Install the subwoofer near your front speaker.
For safety, install the subwoofer on a flat and firm floor.
If the subwoofer is installed in the center of a room, the bass may be extremely weakened.
Move the subwoofer away from the center of the room or install it near a bookshelf, etc.
Take care to avoid any possible injury on the corners of the subwoofer.
Do not place bound or folded cords which are connected to your TV/
other video devices behind the subwoofer. Video noise may occur.
Do not place the subwoofer in the following locations:
In places subject to high temperature or direct sunlight
In places subject to excessive dust and dirt
In places subject to high humidity
Near source components (CD players, record players, etc.)
Use caution when placing the subwoofer on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished,
etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.
Near magnetic cards (credit cards, commuter passes, etc.)
Magnetic cards may fail due to the magnets in the woofer units.
Near televisions
The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. Therefore, if you use the subwoofer near
CRT-based televisions, color shading occurs on the TV screen.
If color shading occurs, turn off the TV, then turn it on again after 15 or 30 minutes. If
the color shading persists, increase the distance between the subwoofer and TV.

Selecting the amplifier
Excessive sound volume may damage the speakers, so be aware of the position of the
volume level knob on the amplifier and avoid excessive input.
Connecting to the amplifier
Use the LINE IN jacks or the SPEAKER IN terminals of the subwoofer when you connect
the amplifier.
If your amplifier has one of the following types of output jacks, connect the LINE IN jack
and the amplifier’s jack using the supplied audio connecting cord.
MONO OUT jack
MIX OUT jack
SUBWOOFER output jack(s)
SUPER WOOFER output jack(s)
If your amplifier does not have the above mentioned output jacks, connect the speaker
terminals of the amplifier to the SPEAKER IN terminals instead.
Before you get started
Turn off the power of the amplifier and the subwoofer before making any connection.
Use the audio connecting cords that are supplied to the respective equipment. If there are
not enough audio connecting cords to make the necessary connections, you need to
purchase some optional audio connecting cords.
Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid noise.
Connection using an audio connecting cord (not
supplied)
Connect the MONO OUT jack of your amplifier to the LINE IN jack of the subwoofer with
the audio connecting cord (not supplied).
Note
If the output level of your amplifier is not high enough, the sound may not be loud enough.
In this case, connect the speaker terminals of the amplifier directly to the SPEAKER IN
terminals of the subwoofer.
When using two or more subwoofers
This
subwoofer
Connection using speaker cords (not supplied)
Connect the SPEAKER IN R terminals to the right speaker terminals of the amplifier, and
connect the SPEAKER IN L terminals to the left speaker terminals of the amplifier.
Note
Tighten each binding post securely. Periodically checking the tightness of the binding posts
is recommended to prevent them from becoming loose as time passes.
When using two or more subwoofers
Install the subwoofers on both the left and right sides.
Connect the terminals of the right subwoofer and the front right speaker to the right
speaker terminals of the amplifier, and connect the terminals of the left subwoofer and the
front left speaker to the left speaker terminals of the amplifier.
