Sound Pressure Level
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
counterclock-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.
Operation near a TV
If the Subwoofer is installed too close to a TV, color irregulari-
ties may be observed on the TV screen. If such irregularities
occur, switch the power of the TV to OFF and then switch it
ON again after waiting for a period of 15 to 30 minutes. The
influence of the Subwoofer on the TV picture may be improved
by self-demagnetization of the TV set. If the color irregularities
still persist, move the Subwoofer farther away from the TV.
Caution
To assure ventilation, observe the follow-
ing points when installing the unit.
Leave a distance of more than 10
cm between the heat sink of the
Subwoofer and the surrounding
wall(s).
Use special care not to cover the
heat sink with a curtain, etc. when
installing.
Be sure to install the Subwoofer vertically.

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