USER INSTRUCTIONS: WH-S8 & WH-S10 SUBWOOFER
INTRODUCTION
The WH-S8 & WH-S10 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.
•
230 volt products - 220 volts to 240 volts
•
115 volt products - 100 volts to 120 volts
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.
