We know you are eager to hear your new Paradigm subwoofer, so this section is provided to allow fast and easy set up. Once you have your subwoofer operational, please take the time to read, in depth, the rest of the information in the enclosed manual. It will give you perspective on how to attain the greatest possible performance from this most exciting subwoofer system. If you should experience any difficulties in the setup or operation of your Paradigm subwoofer, please refer to the Room Acoustics, Placement or Operation sections of the enclosed owner's manual. Should you encounter a persistent problem that cannot be resolved, please contact your authorized Paradigm dealer. They will provide you with the appropriate technical analysis to alleviate the situation. Unpacking Remove your new subwoofer from its packaging. Please retain the original packaging materials for future use - replacement packaging may be expensive. Placement You may choose to begin by placing the subwoofer in a corner near the front of the room. If placed in a corner, align the subwoofer diagonally so both woofers are equidistant from the adjacent wall. Before deciding on a permanent corner placement, experiment with other positions. Locations away from corners often prove more effective in providing ideal low-frequency performance and blend with the main speakers. Please see the Placement section for details. Signal Connection Use the best cables you can. High quality cables, available from your specialty dealer, are recommended and will give you superior performance. Attach your receiver/preamplifier outputs to the signal input connectors located on the subwoofer's rear panel. Please see the Controls and Connections section for details. If you plan to connect your subwoofer using Speaker Level (high level) inputs, refer to the Speaker Level Inputs section for details. Power Connection (AC) (see warning) Make sure the level knob is set at 0. Plug the subwoofer into a wall outlet. Review the AC Power Connection section of this manual for details. paradigm.com 4
