Placing the Subwoofer All stereo information is heard through your television's speakers. Because low frequency sound is non-directional, you can place the subwoofer anywhere you choose. However, placing the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall or in a corner provides better bass efficiency and optimum sound. Warning: The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. Therefore, it SHOULD always be placed at least 2 feet (0. 6m) from TVs, computer monitors, computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e. g. floppy disks, Zip disks, VHS or cassette tapes, etc. ). Powering On NOTE: You must first remove the protective plastic sleeves on both ends of the power adapter before you plug in the system. After all other connections are made, plug the power adapter into the back of the subwoofer and into an AC wall socket. NOTE: To ensure a secure connection, the power adapter uses a locking connector. To unlock the power adapter, don't simply pull on the cable. [. . . ] Decrease the bass level on the subwoofer.
