If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes. Placement Options Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer is within 15 feet (4. 5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-off permits placement farther from the main speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well. The level of bass output from the subwoofer will vary at different positions in a room. Regardless of the natural bass level within the room you will always have the ability to adjust the level of the subwoofer from the built in volume control. If at any time you move the subwoofer be sure to check all of your settings. The foot on the bottom of the subwoofer can be removed to produce a slight backward tilt. IMPORTANT: Do not place the subwoofer where there is a chance of contact between the rear panel and drapes or furniture.

The wirelss transmitter lets you deliver the audio signal to the subwoofer with a minimum amount of cable. However audio signal cables can also be connected directly to the subwoofer if you prefer. NOTE: Power is always supplied to the subwoofer electronics unless it is unplugged or switched to the off position using the power switch located on the rear panel. The auto-on circuitry only activates or deactivates the power amplifier. Make sure your subwoofer and receiver are unplugged when making the connection. Subwoofer Power: When plugging your subwoofer in be sure to use a wall outlet, or dedicated electrical outlet. These on board electrical outlets do not offer the amount of current or proper isolation required by a power amplifier, such as the one in your amplifier. Transmitter Power: Plug the transmitter power supply into a power outlet. The transmitter power supply requires very little power so you can plug it into an auxiliary power outlet on the receiver. Plug the connector on the power supply cable into the transmitter power input labeled "5V DC".
