Carefully remove the subwoofer from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or service needs. Verify that all components are present, including the subwoofer unit and the RCA cable.
2.2 Placement
The placement of your subwoofer significantly impacts sound quality. Experiment with different locations in your room to find the best bass response.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On/Off
After all connections are made, turn on your surround sound receiver, then power on the subwoofer. Most subwoofers have an auto-on/standby feature that detects an audio signal and powers on automatically.
3.2 Volume Adjustment
Adjust the subwoofer's volume level to blend seamlessly with your main speakers. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it until the bass sounds balanced and natural with the rest of your audio system. Avoid setting the volume too high, as this can lead to distorted sound.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean the subwoofer, first unplug it from the power outlet. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the cabinet. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Do not spray cleaning liquids directly onto the subwoofer.

Keep the subwoofer away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
