If it has been damaged in transit, report the damage immediately by calling your dealer and/or the trucking firm that delivered it. To prevent fire or shock hazard, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS SUBWOOFER SYSTEM TO RAIN OR EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. To avoid electrical shock, DO NOT OPEN THE SUBWOOFER! There are no user serviceable inside. Observe all warnings and cautions. parts A FEW SUGGESTIONS We recommend that you not operate your speakers or subwoofer with the bass, treble and loudness controls set to full boost. This will place undue strain on your electronics and speakers and could damage them. The volume control setting on your preamplifier or stereo receiver is not a specific indication of the overall loudness level of the speakers. The only important consideration is the loudness level at which the system can be played regardless of where the volume control is set. Always turn down the volume control setting on your preamplifier or stereo when changing a cassette or CD, or switching inputs to AM or FM operation. Excessively loud transients (clicks or popping sounds) can damage the satellite speakers and possibly the subwoofer. Whenever changing cables, pulling plugs, etc., ALWAYS TURN OFF ALL EQUIPMENT including the Subwoofer. This prevents transients from entering the speakers and prevents electrical energy from reaching you. Keep all connections out of the reach of children. ABOUTTHIS PRODUCT The Infinity BU-2 Powered Subwoofer has been designed to enhance the bass frequencies of any audio system. This subwoofer may be used with speakers of any size. Obviously, the greatest bass enhancement will be achieved when the subwoofer is connected with speakers which do not have the capability to create deep bass. This subwoofer may be used individually, or combined with another BU-2 for even more impressive reproduction of bass frequencies (i.e., one subwoofer near the satellite primary listening The BU-2 is low frequency designed woofer port enclosure. speakers and a second subwoofer behind the area or both subwoofers up front). a self-powered system utilizing a solid state, monophonic amplifier driving a specially mounted within a structurally rigid, tuned SPECIFICATIONS FREQUENCY CROSSOVER RESPONSE .................... 30 to 150 Hz, + 3dB FREQUENCY ........................... 50 to 200 Hz, OUTPUT ...............................................................

Should you have questions relating to your installation, it is advisable to call either your dealer or Infinity's Customer Service Department for advice. The performance of the subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the listening room and how you align the subwoofer with.its satellite speakers. Setting the volume of the subw0ofer in relationship to the left and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential that the subwoofer integrates smoothly with the entire system. Setting the subwoofer's volume level too high will result in an overpowering, boomy bass. Setting the volume level too low will negate the effect of the subwoofer. The metal plate acts as the heat sink for the subwoofer's internal amplifier. Do not place pillows or other objects against it. We recommend placing the BU-2 at least. 2 to 3 feet away from a television or a computer's disc drive system to prevent smearing the colors of the TV picture or erasure of the magnetic drive. Here are several additional facts on installation which may prove useful. It is generally believed by most audio authorities that low frequencies (below 125 Hz) are non-directional and, therefore, placement of a subwoofer within any listening room is not critical. While in theory it is true that extremely low frequencies because of their larger wave lengths are basically non-directional, the fact is when installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room, reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the room will strongly influence the performance of any subwoofer system. As a result, specific location of the subwogfer becomes important, and we strongly recommend that you experiment with room placement before choosing a final location. Placement will depend upon your room and the amount and quality of bass required. For example, if your room permits placement of the subwoofer near either satellite. Never place the port too close to a wall or piece of furniture, as this will prevent the port from operating properly. Since the port is an integral part of the subwoofer's design, it should always be permitted free access to the listening room without obstruction to the pressure emerging from it. Careful experimentation will enable you to determine the best position for the subwoofer. Here are some useful hints: 1. Experimentation with the port direction may be useful. Ax-'times directing the port away from the listening area (to the side) may be advantageous because this may create a better blend of bass within the listening room. 2. If bass response seems inadequate, move it closer to a wall or corner. If bass becomes too heavy, try turning the" subwoofer with the port facing away from the wall. This will tend to diminish bass output. It will take time and patience to find the most pleasing acoustic location for your subwoofer. Testing for sonic balance and blending should always be made for your normal listening position using a wide range of source material. As a starting point, initially place the subwoofer behind your right channel satellite speaker, about 3 or 4 inches from the wall (We suggest trying this location first because in an orchestra, the bass instruments are usually located in the back and to the right.)

When the Auto Power switch is set to ON (and AC Power is also ON), the BU-2's auto-sensing circuit will automatically turn the subwoofer on when music or voice signals are detected. When audio is absent, the BU-2 will stay in the "on" mode (as indicated by a green LED) for approximately 8 minutes before the auto-sensing circuit shuts down the system (as indicated by a red LED). To defeat this feature, set Auto Power to OFF and use the AC Power switch to turn on/off the BU-2. lnfin @ NOT 8t.NTABLE FOR tN-WALI.MO_JNTING @ (_ @ @ Figure 2 CONNECTING YOURSUBWOOFER OUTPUTS L .(_)_)R _. setsofoutputs) " ". ............. ..........

(Optional) Slide the BU-2's Auto Power switch O (Fig. 2) to the =ON" position (otherwise "OFF" defeats auto-sensing). 5. Turn on your entire audio system. 6. Turn the Volume control O (Fig. 2) to its mid position. If no sound emanates from the subwoofer after the auto-sensing system turns it on (i.e., LED goes from red to green), check the ac line cord and input cables. Are the connectors on the cables making proper contact? Is the ac plug connected to a "live" receptacle? Once you have confirmed that the subwoofer is active, proceed by playing a CD, record, or cassette. Use a selection that has ample bass information. 7. Set the overall volume control of the preamplifier orstereo to a comfortable level. Adjust the subwoofer's Volume control O (Fig. 27-until you obtain a pleasing blend of bass. Bass response adjusted should not overpower the room, but rather be so there is a harmonious blend across the entire musical range. Many users have a tendency to set the subwoofer volume too loud following the belief that a subwoofer is there to produce lots of bass. This is not entirely true. A subwoofer is there to enhance bass, extending the response of the entire system so the bass can be felt as well as heard. However, overall balance must be maintained; otherwise, the music will not sound natural. An experienced listener will set the volume of the subwoofer so its irfipact on bass response is always there but is never obtrusive. 8. The Frequency control (_ (Fig. 2) sets the high frequency roll-off, adjustable from 50 to 200 Hz. Where you set this control depends on the low frequency capabilities of your satellite speakers, system placement, and other factors affecting the mid-bass region. Turn the control UP (clockwise) until you feel there is too much" mid-bass information (around 100Hz) then back the control down a bit until that area sounds more natural. To hear more low bass, turn the Frequency control DOWN a bit and the Volume control UP by about the same amount. This will increase low bass while leaving the mid-bass sounding the same as it did before the adjustment. To reduce low bass without changing mid-bass, turn the Frequency control UP and the Volume control DOWN. Alternately slide the Phase switch between "NOM' and "REV" positions while listening to music. The selection that sounds the best is the correct adjustment for your system. 9. In general, the closer the subwoofer is to walls anticorners, the greater the effect of low frequency enhancement. Room placement of the subwoofer is the most critical aspect of its installation. It will be necessary for you to try various locations in your listening room before you choose the Experiment with the Frequency and Volume controls in-different locations until you are pleased with the result you final location. Some possible starting points include: behind the right channel satellite speaker, along the back wall between the satellites, along a side wall (but not too close to a corner), or behind a couch or a chair. obtain from your particular application. A WORDO.EADVICE If the subwoofer is located so far from the listening area that its effect is not as prominent as desired, try reversing the audio signal polarity by sliding the Phase switch from NOM to REV. The lo_ Frequency rolloff and Volume controls may be set anywhere within their rotation. However, it will be a most unusual circumstance if you have to set the Volume control completely clockwise. This may indicate an unbalanced condition in your system (too much bass) or an especially large room, or room placement may not be correct. Try several other locations before concluding that the Volume control must be set at maximum. OVERDRIVEPROTECTION Automatic limiting circuitry helps prevent overdriving a connected subwoofer by softly clipping the input signal if it exceeds a predetermined threshold. Depending on the level, adjustments. However, if you do hear distortion continuously while playing music, the input signal level (feeding the BU-2) may be too high and should be lowered. If this doesn't solve the problem, verifi/the connections and check for proper operation of other components in the audio chain. you may or may not hear slight distortion on musical peaks. This protection is completely automatic, with no user A WORD ABOUT TONE CONTROLS whereas, The tone controls on your electronic components (preamplifier, receiver, etc.) should be used with the utmost discretion. Excessive boost can create severe power demands on your power amplifier. Maximum bass boost can create a demand for literally hundreds of watts in the bass region, in the *flat" position, or with the tone controls switched out of the system, your average listening level may be impressively and realistically loud at less than 10 watts. The remaining power capacity required is on reserve for power peaks on sharp transients and powerful crescendos. i CAREOFYOURSUBWOOFER original luster. (When using aerosol products, always spray the cloth, not the speaker, to prevent any of the product from' drifting onto the electronics of the unit.) Your Infinity subwoofer cabinet is finished with a heavy duty, high quality vinyl which requires very little maintenance. Keep the cabinet clean by dusting it occasionally with a damp cloth or use a good quality furniture polish to maintain its FEEDBACK If the bass seems boomy, or you notice a rumbling sound when listening to record albums, the cause may be acoustic feedback. This means that low frequency vibrations from your speakers are regching the turntable. To help isolate the turntable from these vibrations, place the turntable on a heavy, solid support, as far away as possible from the subwoofer. If you continue to experience difficulties after" experimenting with placement, consult your Infinity dealer. NOTE: CD players are also susceptible to acoustic feedback and should be placed on solid supports to isolate them acoustically. Another method to isolate the CD player is to place it on four isolation feet available at your local dealer. 7 IN CASEOFTROUBLEWITHYOURSUBWOOFER" If the subwoofer sound is distorted, stops playing, or otherwise seems to be malfunctioning, first determine if the problem is in the subwoofer or the wiring and/or other audio components. If the problem also affects the satellite speakers, the cause is most likely in your electronics. If it is only noticed in the subwoofer, make sure that all connecting cables are correct and in proper working condition. Make sure the subwoofer is plugged in and turned on. If everything seems to be in good working order and the subwoofer still malfunctions, DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS!
