NOTES
•• Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections
between components are complete.
•• Before moving or installing this product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
•• If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the

•• The maximum transmission distance of the main unit’s wireless signal is about 10 m, but may vary
depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between the main
unit and the wireless subwoofer, the system may not operate at all because the wireless signal
cannot penetrate metal.
PRECAUTIONS

and moisture.
•• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the
Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.
