USER INSTRUCTIONS: WH-D8 & WH-D10 SUBWOOFER
INTRODUCTION
The WH-D8 & WH-D10 is the latest in a long line of distinguished Wharfedale active subwoofers. These
technologically advanced subwoofers will complement the finest electronics and decor.
Please read these instructions carefully before installing your subwoofers. A few minutes studying this manual will
ensure superb performance from your subwoofer for many years.
INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Carefully unpack each subwoofer.
Retain all the packing materials so that your subwoofer can be repacked and shipped without damage.
If you dispose of the packing, do so with regard to all recycling provisions in your area.
Power Connection
This subwoofer is set to operate for the mains voltage marked on the amplifier panel. Before connecting
check that this voltage is correct for your mains supply.
If you move to an area with a different mains supply voltage, please consult your Wharfedale dealer to arrange the
conversion of this product.
Positioning the Subwoofer
Although the unit may be placed almost anywhere in the room, we recommend that it be placed in front of the
listener and as central to the listening position as possible. There should be a mains outlet within easy reach. The
subwoofer should not be operated within 450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may distort the picture.
Remember that there should be a line of sight between the listening position and the front of the subwoofer otherwise
the handset remote functions will not be operable.
We suggest you initially position the subwoofer about 20cm (8 inches) from the wall. Placing the unit close to the wall
will enhance the bass; placing it across the corner of the room will increase the bass further, possibly at the expense of
clarity. Do not place the subwoofer close to surfaces or objects that may rattle. The floor under the subwoofer should
be sound with no loose floorboards, etc. Experiment with locations and sources before making a final decision.
Multi-Channel Room Placement
The diagram shows the Dolby Labs recommended
positions for multi-channel operation. For 5.1 channel
operation use the satellites in the front and surround
positions with the Subwoofer in the LFE position.
If you have a 7.1 channel processor/amplifier you
can enhance the system further by buying one of the
larger loudspeakers from the Wharfedale range to use
as front channel speakers and use the satellite units as
back channels.
If you have any queries, your wharfedale dealer will
be pleased to advise you.
