Installation

Observe the following general pre cau -

tions and read the safety in struc tions on 
pages 2 and 3 before using your Sun

fi

 re 

Subwoofer.

•      Never open the cabinet or remove 

the metal control panel as this 
might result in an electrical shock to 
you, or dam age to the unit.

•      Protect it from prolonged ex po sure 

to direct sunlight and other direct     
sources of heat, such as heating     
vents and ra di a tors. 

•      To prevent 

fi

 re or shock, do not 

expose the unit to rain or moisture. 
If 

fl

 uid or a foreign object should 

enter the unit, immediately turn off 
the power and contact your Sun

fi

 re 

Dealer. 

•      Avoid excessive exposure to           

extreme cold or dust.

•      Do not place heavy objects on top 

of the unit.

•      Do not place the subwoofer with its 

control panel against the 

fl

 oor.

•      If you wish to place your subwoofer 

so the drivers face the 

fl

 oor and 

ceiling, thereby moving up and 
down, use at least 1-1/2 inch high 
spikes or feet for support. They 
may be attached either with screws 
or self-stick backing. This ar range -
ment will impart substantial house 
and 

fl

 oor shaking motion.

•      Four extra heavy, shock absorbing 

rubber mounting feet have been 
included. If your subwoofer tends 
to wander about slightly while in 
use, place these feet just inside 
the existing feet positions. These 
shock absorbing mounts will let 
the subwoofer rock freely, thereby 
absorbing low frequency rocking 
energy, allowing it to adhere solidly 
to the 

fl

 oor.

•      To move the subwoofer along the 

fl

 oor, rotate it onto one edge onto a 

plastic sheet or bag, and it will slide 
along easier.

Heat rise

•      Allow adequate ventilation around 

the metal control panel of the 
subwoofer.

•      Do not let anything come into 

contact with the panel and keep 
at least two inches away from any 
walls.

The metal control plate serves as the 

am pli 

fi

  er heat sink and also as a conduit 

to remove internal heat to the outside 
and into the atmosphere. It can reach 
tem per a tures of 60 degrees C, which 
will feel hot to the touch, using nerves of 

fl

 esh and blood as tem per a ture sen-

sors. As uncomfortable as it may feel, 60 
degrees C cannot burn you, and in fact is 
almost cool to copper, silicon, steel, and 
aluminum, the materials from which your 
subwoofer is con struct ed. 

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an 

outlet capable of supplying the correct 
voltage speci

fi

 ed for your model. 

Unplug your subwoofer’s power cord 

from the electrical outlet if it will be left 
unused for a long period of time.

Route the power-supply cord so it is not 

likely to be walked on or pinched by items 
placed upon or against it, es pe cial ly at 
plugs, con ve nience re cep ta cles, and the 
point where it exits from the unit.

Magnetic Fields

We recommend that you place your 

subwoofer further than two feet away 
from your TV, VCR, tape deck or com-
puter, so the speak er’s magnet won’t 
distort the colors of your TV picture or 
erase your video tapes, audio tapes or 
computer discs.
