VENTILATION CAUTION When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 25 cm at top, 15 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each side). WARNING Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. [. . . ] Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the subwoofer to break down. Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damage that may result from improper installation. If the speaker system is installed too close to the screen of a television set, color distortion may occur. Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and finish of the cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish.

Product received damaged by a service center that has been shipped by the end user in other than the original packaging will be repaired, refurbished and properly packaged for return shipment, at the end user's expense. STATUS INDICATOR ­ The LED found on the front panel will illuminate when the subwoofer is functioning. If the unit is in Auto mode and is not receiving a signal, the light will remain off. VOLUME ­ This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output from your subwoofer. The level chosen should allow the subwoofer to blend its output with that of the rest of your audio system. fREQ ­ This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made from 40Hz to 150Hz. this will determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer will reproduce. PHASE ­ This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the subwoofer, in relation to the speakers used in your system, from 0 to 180 degrees. POWER ­ This switch can be set to either On, Stand By or Auto. If the switch is set to the AUTO position, when a signal is present the subwoofer will turn on and will automatically turn off several minutes after a signal is no longer present. lINE IN ­ These inputs are an RCA type LFE/stereo/mono input. If you are connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp/processor with a LFE or Subwoofer pre-amp output, connect a single RCA cable to the LFE/ Left input. If you are connecting your subwoofer to a stereo pre-amp or processor, such as in a stereo music system, use stereo RCA cables and connect to both the LFE/Left and Right inputs. HI LEVEL IN ­ The Speaker Level inputs are designed to be used on receivers or amplifiers that do not incorporate any RCA type subwoofer outputs. [. . . ] Within 40 days of receiving your complaint, Pioneer will investigate the dispute and will either: (1) respond to your complaint in writing informing you what action Pioneer will take, and in what time period, to resolve the dispute; or (2) respond to your complaint in writing informing you why it will not take any action. Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level ­ a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Over time, your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. [. . . ]
