Safety
• When connecting and disconnecting the AC cord, always grasp the plug. Do not pull the cord by itself since pulling
the cord may damage it and thus be hazardous.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time, disconnect the AC cord. If the cord is plugged in,
a small amount of current keeps on flowing to the unit even if the power button is not ON.
Cleaning
To clean the cabinet, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents,
such as alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Keep away magnetic items
Keep cassette tapes, personal credit card etc. using magnetic cording away from the unit as the recorded information
may be erased or some noise may be added on cassette tapes.
Should any problem occur, disconnect the AC cord and refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

POSITIONING
Because low-frequency sound reproduced by the powered subwoofer is mostly non-directional, the listener will be
unable to localize the bass source. Accordingly, the powered subwoofer provides maximum flexibility in terms of
positioning. For the most effective low-frequency sound, the powered subwoofer should be placed on the floor close
to a wall or in a corner of the room.
CONNECTIONS
Connect the speaker cords before connecting the AC cord.
Connect in A way if your stereo system has a SUPER WOOFER output jack. If not, connect in B way.
Never connect in both of A and B ways simultaneously.
A Connecting an AIWA stereo system with a SUPER WOOFER or SUB WOOFER output jack (RCA phono jack)
to the powered subwoofer

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME BALANCE
Adjust the volume balance between the powered subwoofer and the left and right speakers of the connected stereo
system.
1 Press the POWER button.
The indicator above the button lights up.
2 Start playback on the connected stereo system.
3 Adjust the volume of the powered subwoofer.
Moderate volume setting
To get natural bass sounds, adjust the volume of the powered subwoofer according to its position and the graphic
equalizer setting of the stereo system.
Adjustment examples
(a) Set the VOLUME control to a little lower than the middle when the subwoofer is placed on the floor and the
graphic equalizer is set to off.
(b) Set the VOLUME control to the middle when the subwoofer is positioned higher than the floor and the graphic
equalizer is set to off.
NOTE
• To avoid overloading the powered subwoofer, do not set the volume of the stereo system so high that the sound is
distorted.
• Low frequency sounds may be distorted when they are emphasized by the graphic equalizer on the stereo system.
Adjust the VOLUME control on the powered subwoofer or the graphic equalizer on the stereo system.
• If the powered subwoofer will not be used for a long period of time, press the POWER button to turn off the power,
and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.
CHANGING THE PHASE

Depending upon the room or the characteristics of the right and left speakers, sound from the powered subwoofer
may seem unnatural or unusually loud or soft.
In this case, try changing the PHASE switch setting. Set to the NORMAL or REVERSE position, whichever sounds
better.
