Place the subwoofer away from
heat sources such as radiators,
stoves, or other appliances that
produce heat.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Cautions:
To prevent the cabinet from warp-
ing or discoloring, do not place the
subwoofer in a place where it is
exposed to direct sunlight or
excessive humidity.
Do not place the subwoofer where
it might be knocked over or
exposed to falling objects.
The metal control panel on the
back of the PRO-SW100P acts as
the heat sink for the subwoofer’s
internal amplifier. Therefore, place
the unit at least 4 inches (10 cm)
away from a wall, and do not let
anything come into contact with
this panel.
Where and how you position your sub-
woofer greatly affects its bass re-
sponse. Adjusting the subwoofer’s
volume control in relation to the left
and right speakers and adjusting the
subwoofer’s high cut filter also affects
your speakers’ overall sound.
Although low frequencies are non- di-
rectional, factors such as room reflec-
tions, standing waves, resonance and
absorption strongly affect your sub-
woofer’s performance. For maximum
bass output, place your subwoofer in a
corner. To reduce output, move it
away from corners and back walls.
Even slightly moving the subwoofer
can have a major effect on bass re-
sponse.
We recommend that you test the sub-
woofer in different locations to deter-
mine where the best balance is
between your satellite speakers (if
used) and subwoofer. We also recom-
mend that you place the PRO-
SW100P at least 4 inches away from
the wall, and at least 2–3 feet away
from your television or computer’s disk
drive system so the subwoofer’s mag-
net will not distort the colors of your TV
picture or erase your floppy disks.
CONNECTING TO AN
AMPLIFIER
You can connect your PRO-SW100P
to an amplifier/receiver’s line out or
speaker terminals.
Notes:
We recommend you connect the
subwoofer to an amplifier or
receiver that has at least two sets
of line out jacks. If your amplifier or
receiver has only one set of line
out jacks, you might not hear any
sound from the satellite speakers.
If your amplifier or receiver has
only one set of line out jacks, fol-
low the instructions under “Con-
necting to Speaker Terminals”
instead.
• Your PRO-SW100P can also be
connected to your television if your
television has line out jacks.
