Installation Precautions
� Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity. � Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and internal components. Also, do not install the unit where there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking tables and other locations where the unit would be exposed to heat, steam and soot.) � Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV monitor on top of the unit. � Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields � Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of the tuner, as noise can be caused with installation close to the antenna cable. In such a case, use this unit at a position away from the antenna and the antenna cable, or when playback of extra bass is not required, switch off the power for this unit.
IN COMBINATION WITH SPEAKERS
The frequency characteristics of the S-HS02 combined with satellite speakers are shown below. As shown in these figures, the low frequency range is improved. � These special characteristics are obtained in an echoless chamber. The effect of an additional subwoofer in an ordinary listening room is better than the chart indicates when positioned adequately. Satellite speaker + Subwoofer

MAINTENANCE OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
� Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. � When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. � Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

Dolby* Digital
Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby Surround multichannel digital system that was developed from Dolby Surround, as a continuation of Dolby Pro Logic Surround. Dolby Digital is also referred to as a 5.1 channel system. This is because it has 5 channels in the 20Hz � 20kHz frequency range (front left and right, center, and rear left and right) and an independent channel for the subwoofer. The subwoofer channel is also referred to as LFE (Low Frequency Effect). The LFE channel is used according to individual tastes to enhance the bass effect.

RESPONC (dB)
With playback of Dolby* Digital, establishment of a special channel for the subwoofer is recommended; and with playback of LFE (Low Frequency Effect: sound effect like the rumbling of the earth, whose purpose is to intensify the force of the video), the S-HS02 is especially effective.
