Installation

The Subwoofer is a virtually omnidirectional speaker, 50 it can be installed in almost any location. For example, the Subwoofer can be installed next to the component system (consisting of an amplifier, luner, cassetle deck, etc.). or in a corner of the room, etc. The subwoofer’s deep bass reproduction characteristics are richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner or near a wall. Since the low bass component in music is usually monaural, only one subwoofer is necessary to obtain a sufficient stereo effect when used in combination with a stereo music system.

Howling
If the Subwoofer is installed near an analog record turntable, a howling sound may be generated. If this occurs, place the Subwoofer farther away from the turntable or reduce the Subwoofer VOLUME (By rotating the volume control counter clock-wise). The howling phenomenon may also occur due to cross interference with a cassette deck, compact disc player, or Laserdisc player, although this is very rare. If sound or picture seems to be distorted due to this reason, place the Subwoofer farther away from other components or reduce its volume.
