Placing the Subwoofer All stereo information is heard through your television's speakers. Because low frequency sound is non-directional, you can place the subwoofer anywhere you choose. However, placing the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall or in a corner provides better bass efficiency and optimum sound. Therefore, it SHOULD always be placed at least 2 feet (0. 6m) from TVs, computer monitors, computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e. g. floppy disks, Zip disks, VHS or cassette tapes, etc. ). Powering On NOTE: You must first remove the protective plastic sleeves on both ends of the power adapter before you plug in the system.
