Installation
The Subwoofer is a virtually omnidirectional speaker, so it can
be installed in almost any location. For example, the Subwoofer
can be installed next to the component system (consisting of an
amplifier, tuner, cassette deck, etc.), or in a corner of the room,
etc. The subwoofer's deep-bass reproduction characteristics are
richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner or near a wall.
Since the low-bass component in music is usually monaural, only
one subwoofer is necessary to obtain a sufficient stereo effect
when used in combination with a stereo music system.

Howling
If the Subwoofer is installed near an analog record turntable, a
howling sound may be generated. If this occurs, place the Sub-
woofer farther away from the turntable or reduce the Subwoofer
volume. The howling phenomenon may also occur due to cross
interference with a cassette deck, compact disc player, or Laser-
disc player, although this is very rare. If sound or picture seems
to be distorted due to this reason, place the Subwoofer farther
away from other components or reduce its volume.
Operation near a TV
If the Subwoofer is installed near a TV set, the TV reception may
be affected and interfered with color irregularities. Should color
irregularities observed on TV screen, separate the Subwoofer
from the TV until its reception becomes normal.
