IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ATTENTION:

Please read these instructions thoroughly before

attempting to operate your AR Subwoofer. Be sure to

save this manual for future reference. Also save your bill

of sale, as it may be required for warranty service.

CAUTION:

Please ensure that the correct plug is used on your AC

outlet.

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 your subwoofer is on the floor

.

VENTILATION

- Slots and openings in the AR

Subwoofer are provided for ventilation, to ensure reli-

able 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 sup-

ply 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,

paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conven-

ience 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 unat-

tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it

from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable

system. This will prevent damage to the AR

Subwoofer

due to a lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING

- Do not overload wall outlets, exten-

sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this

can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

- Never push objects of

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

.

SERVICING

- Do not attempt to service the AR sub-

woofer yourself as opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer

all servicing to qualified Acoustic Research service per-

sonnel.

s

u

b

woofer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to quali-

fied service personnel under the following conditions:

A.

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

B.

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

C.

If the product has been exposed to rain or water

.

D.

If the product does not operate normally by follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the AR subwoofer to its normal operation.

E.

If the AR subwoofer has been dropped or damaged

in any way

.

F.

When the product exhibits a distinct change in a

performance - this indicates need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

- When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by Acoustic Research or

have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric

shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK

repairs to this product, ask the service technician to
