INSTALLATION Speaker Installation

• Subwoofer Installation Criteria

Power cord x 1 Warranty card Operating instructions (this document)

• Extended Low Frequency Response • High linearity magnetic circuit • Phase Control Technology

IN COMBINATION WITH SPEAKERS The frequency characteristics of the S-71W combined with small-size speakers are shown below. As shown in these figures, the low frequency range is improved.

• These special characteristics are obtained in an echoless chamber. The effect of an additional S-71W in an ordinary listening room is better than the chart indicates when positioned adequately.

4 1 Left speaker 2 Right speaker 3 Recommended installation range for the subwoofer 4 Listening position The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making use of the fact that the human ear is not very sensitive to the direction of low-pitched sound. Because of this, the subwoofer can be installed almost anywhere. If it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the other speakers may become unnatural. • An example of speaker positioning

Small-size speakers + S-71W

• Do not attach the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

• Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity. • Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and internal components. Also, do not install the unit where there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking tables and other locations where the unit would be exposed to heat, steam and soot.) • Do not place heavy or large objects on top of the speaker. Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily injury. If speakers fall from their installation locations, they may suffer irreparable cracks in their finish.

MAINTENANCE OF EXTERNAL SURFACES:

• Clean the surface by wiping with a soft, dry cloth. • When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. • Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

Installation Precautions

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing so may cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.

• Do not place cups, glasses, or other containers with fluids on top of the units, since the units may be damaged if the liquid spills. • The installation location selected should have a sturdy floor surface. Mounting the speaker on a long-pile carpet should be avoided, since the carpet may touch the driver’s diaphram, causing distorted sound. • Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of the tuner, as noise can be caused with installation close to the antenna cable. In such a case, use this unit at a position away from the antenna and the antenna cable, or when playback of extra bass is not required, switch off the power for this unit.

When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a CRTbased TV or color monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer.

• Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from the TV set and approximately 1.8 meters from each other. • Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. • The rear (surround) speakers are most effective when installed in parallel locations directly to the side, or slightly behind, the listener, at a level about 1 meter above the listener’s ears.

• Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.

Turning the Auto Standby function on or off.

• The power is still supplied even when the power indicator is off. The power plug (interrupter) must be unplugged in order to completely cut the power supply. When not using this product for long periods of time, such as when traveling, unplug the power cord (interrupter) from the power outlet for safety purposes. Failure to do so could lead to fire. 2 Power switch (POWER) Switches the subwoofer between ON and OFF. 3 Volume knob (VOLUME) Sets the subwoofer volume. • Turn the knob slowly from the MIN position. • With this unit, the bass level can be independently set, so do not turn up the bass on the AV amplifier.

• There may be cases where a connected component outputs noise or some other non-audio signal which causes this system to automatically power on when in Auto Standby mode. If this happens, switch off the Auto Standby mode and switch the system on/off manually. 5 Phase switch (PHASE) When set to 180°, the output phase becomes the reverse of the input signal, and when set to 0°, it is in the same phase as the input signal. • Normally, the switch is set to 0°. But when the sound connection between the subwoofer and the left and right speakers sounds unnatural, try switching to 180° and set the switch in the position where the sound is natural. 6 Line Level Output terminal (LINE OUT) Used for connecting other equipment through the amplifier. The signal output from this jack is not affected in any way by the settings of the variouscontrols on the unit. 7 Line Level Input terminal (LINE IN) Connect to the SUBWOOFER PREOUT terminal of an amplifier or receiver, with the specially provided RCA plug cord. 8 AC IN • Connect the power cord to the powered subwoofer unit’s AC IN. • Connect the power cord to an AC socket.
