ing to operate your AR Subwoofer. Be sure to save this

CLEANING - Unplug the AR subwoofer from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
ATTACHMENTS - Do not place the AR Subwoofer on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the product. The ideal location for you
AR subwoofer is the floor.
VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the AR Subwoofer
are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must
not be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa rug,
or other similar surface. The AR Subwoofer should not be
placed in a built in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or Acoustic
Research's instructions have been adhered to.
POWER SOURCES - The AR Subwoofer should be
operated only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of power supply to
your home, consult your Acoustic Research dealer or local
power company.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - The AR Subwoofer
may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way . This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug is still
unable to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
Subwoofer.
LIGHTNING - For added protection for the AR Subwoofer
during a lightning storm, or when left unattended and

outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This

ning and power-line surges.

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

any kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the AR Subwoofer.
