Precautions If your monitors picture is magnetically distorted Although this unit is magnetically shielded, the picture on some monitors may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of your monitor and computer, and turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes. Take the appropriate measures (such as saving data) before turning off your monitor and computer.
When there seems to be no improvement, place the unit farther away from your computer and monitor. Be sure not to place objects which use magnets, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys, etc. near your computer and monitor. These may cause the picture to distort due to their interaction with the unit. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Installation This subwoofer is best suited for the Sony
VAIO microtower personal computer systems. When you connect the subwoofer to your VAIO microtower, we recommend that you install the unit under the computer as shown at right. If you install the unit away from the computer, we recommend that you install the unit on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur.
Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
Good ventilation is essential to prevent internal heat buildup. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface or too close to a wall.
Notes Always install the unit in a flat (horizontal) position
and at least 5 centimeters from the wall. Do not install the unit upside down or vertically (upright).
If you install the unit separately from the computer, do not place any object on the unit or sit on it.
If the unit is installed in the center of a room, the bass sound may become weak. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the unit away from the center of the room.
