The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

WARNING: No naked flame sources – such as candles – should be placed on the product.

WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the AC Voltages listed on the back

panel or included power supply of the product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the products warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is cautioned because it can allow the product to be plugged into voltages in which the product was not designed to operate. If the product is equipped with a detachable power cord, use only the type provided with your product or by your local distributor and/or retailer. If you are unsure of the correct operational voltage, please contact your local distributor and/or retailer. INSPECTION We want your new speaker system to look as good as it did leaving the fac- tory! Please check promptly for any transit damage. Carefully unpack your new speaker system and verify the components against the packing list. In extreme circumstances, items may have become damaged in transit. If any damage is dis- covered, notify the delivery service and dealer where the system was purchased. Make a request for inspection, and follow their instructions for evaluation. Be sure to keep the product’s original shipping carton.

POSITIONING YOUR SW SUBWOOFER

Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if you place your subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers (Refer to Figure 1). Please note that room placement can have a dramatic effect upon the performance of your pow- ered subwoofer. Corner placement, as suggested above, will increase the amount of bass output, while placing the subwoofer along the middle of a wall, or out in the room will decrease the amount of bass output. Experiment with a number of different placement options and control settings to find the one that best suits your particular room and taste. When choosing your subwoofer’s location, keep in mind that you will need to connect the subwoofer’s built-in amplifier to an AC power outlet. CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making any connections. CONTROLS “LINE IN” Connection - Most of today’s surround receivers (and pre-amplifiers) have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If you have this output, connect one end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the subwoofer line input labeled LEFT/LFE. This connec- tion allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies (refer to your receiver manual). In absence of a subwoofer output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can connect Left and Right channel Pre-Amp Outputs from your receiver (if provided) to the Left/LFE and Right input on the subwoofer. “GAIN” Control - If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a surround receiver, first set the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the “half way” or “0 dB” position. Then increase the gain of the subwoofer until the subwoofer’s volume level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume control on your system’s main amplifier or pre-amplifier will be the volume control for both your subwoofer and speak- ers together. If your subwoofer is connected to the L/R Pre-Amp Outputs of a receiver or connected via the High-Level connection to the receiver’s speaker terminals, there will be no subwoofer volume in that receiver to set before setting the subwoofer’s gain control. “LOWPASS” Control - The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are “handed off” from the speakers to the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (150Hz). Set the crossover point based on the size of the main left/right speakers you are using in the system. As a general rule, for larger, floorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between 50Hz-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or “satellite” speakers for the mains, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your system is completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover point setting, set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within the same recom- mended settings. (See receiver manual for additional speaker setup info). “PHASE” 0/180 - This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer’s output to your main speakers. Select a position, between 0° and 180°, in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position. Power LED indicator - Located on the front baffle, this LED indicates the operat- ing status of the built-in amplifier. The LED will light green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark and not lit, the amplifier is off. For more information on the controls mentioned in this manual and on bass manage- ment, see your dealer or visit www.klipsch.com. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.

WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this

equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR POWERED SUBWOOFER Your subwoofer has a durable black satin finish that should only require dry dust- ing or cleaning with a dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive or solvent-based clean- ers and harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum should remove any dust from your subwoofer enclosure.
