Safety11 - Deutsch English Français Italiano Español Nederlands Cleaning Only clean the unit with a damp, soft and clean cloth (without using any kind of harsh cleaning agent). Subwoofer 200 setup Basic information

• Place the unit on a stable, even surface.

• The distance between the subwoofer and audio source must not exceed 10 m in the same room.

• Do not set up the unit near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight.

• When installing in a cabinet or closed shelf, leave about 10 cm free around the unit to allow the air to circulate freely, thereby avoiding a build-up of heat and sound pressure.

• Pull out the power cable during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the TV through the antenna system and the mains.

• If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug should also be disconnected from the mains.

• The power plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the TV can be disconnected from the power supply at all times.

• Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stood on or ex- posed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the system as a whole. A power cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and poses a re risk. As such, it must be changed before the unit is used again.

• When unplugging the unit from the mains, pull the plug housing and not the cable. The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when being plugged in again.

• The speakers generate magnetic dispersion elds which act in the vicinity of the housing. We recommend a minimum distance of > 0.5 m from magnetically sensitive equipment such as CRT-TV sets, magnetic data media etc. Subwoofer 200 You can position the subwoofer anywhere on the oor. We recommend the front area of the room in a way that the basses can freely ow to the sides and downwards. Attention: The air supply on the rear of the subwoofer must never be impeded. Ensure a sufcient distance (> 10 cm) to the oor or wall. Care / Setting up Suggestion for 2.1 Setup solution Front left Front right Loewe Subwoofer
