Introduction Introduction Important safety instructions The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
About this manual About this manual This manual is divided into three main chapters… Before you start: learn how to unpack and connect the subwoofer. The controls and connections on the back panel are also described here. Operation: in this chapter you will learn how to operate the subwoofer and how to position it properly for optimum performance. Optimizing settings/Troubleshooting: detailed explanations on how to optimize settings to achieve maximum sound quality.
