SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
10. Power Source - The appliance should be connected  
to a power supply only of the type described in the operating  
instructions or as marked on the appliance.  
11. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords  
should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked  
on or pinched by items placed up or against them, paying  
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the  
appliance.  
12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
13. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance  
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a  
long period of time.  
14. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so  
that neither objects fall nor liquids spill into the inside of the  
appliance.  
15. Damage Requiring Service - The application should  
be serviced by qualified service personnel when:  
a. the power supply cord or the plug has been damaged,  
b. Objects have fallen onto or liquid has been spilled into the  
appliance,  
Subwoofers offer the greatest variety of placement options since very low frequencies are essentially non-directional. That is, the human  
ear cannot determine where low frequencies originate, thus, speaker placement is open to a wide variety of choices. By using the  
wireless option, your PC-SUB WL subwoofer can be placed anywhere AC power is available within a 50-foot radius of the transmitter. It is  
recommended that you place the subwoofer along the same wall as your front speakers. If using one subwoofer, a corner placement will  
give you the most low frequency output. If using two subwoofers, start by placing them next to the front left and right speakers in both  
front corners or one in the corner and one 1/3 of the way along the front wall from the corner. Each room is different. Experiment with  
these options and try other locations until you get the best results.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or  
back). No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
HOOKING UP YOUR PC-SUB WL SUBWOOFER  
Explanation of Graphical Symbols  
Option 1: Wireless Setup  
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an  
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the  
presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage: within the  
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude  
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.  
The PC-SUB WL wireless transmitter includes a power adapter. This power adapter is a universal adapter and is designed to operate on  
household power of 100-240V and 50/60Hz. Plug the power adapter into a convenient power outlet and the small coaxial power plug  
into the rear of the transmitter socket labeled “DC In +5V”. The transmitter should power up and display a blue LED light on the front of  
the unit.  
Next, connect the “SUB/Left IN” on the wireless transmitter to the “Subwoofer Out”, “SUB OUT”, or “Pre-Amp Out” connection on the  
rear of your receiver or processor using a dedicated RCA interconnect cable. Plug the PC-SUB WL into a wall outlet and turn the power  
switch on. The power LED should turn red and the Wireless Status LED should be blue. The transmitter and the subwoofer now need to  
be synchronized (paired) so that they will recognize each other.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle  
is intended to alert you to the presence of important  
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the  
literature accompanying the appliance.  
!
Transmitter / Receiver pairing instructions  
Up to two PC-SUB WL Subwoofer systems can work in close proximity. When using two subwoofers each needs to be paired to its own  
transmitter. Pairing is done as follows:  
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating  
instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.  
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating  
instructions should be retained for future reference.  
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the  
operating instructions should be adhered to.  
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and other instructions  
should be followed.  
5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used  
near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen  
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool,  
etc.  
c. the appliance has been exposed to rain,  
d. the appliance does not appear to operate normally or  
exhibits a marked change in performance, or  
e. the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.  
16. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the  
appliance beyond those means described in the operating  
instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified  
service personnel.  
17. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be  
taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an  
appliance is not defeated.  
18. FCC Rules Part 15 Compliance - This device  
complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject  
to the following two conditions:  
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and  
(2) This device must accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.  
1. Press the RESET button for the receiver unit on the back of the subwoofer once. The blue LED will start blinking quickly.  
2. Press the button located on the bottom of the transmitter unit once. The Blue LED will start blinking quickly. After a few seconds both  
blue LEDs will stay on continuously. If pairing is not successful the blue LED on the Transmitter will start blinking slowly after 10 seconds.  
In this case, press the button on the transmitter again.  
Note: There is no need to press the receiver button again (the button on the back of the subwoofer). The flashing Receiver LED indicates  
that the receiver is waiting for a transmitter to connect to it.  
Two wireless PC-SUB WL subwoofers can be used simultaneously, but each requires its own transmitter. If you already have one system  
installed, then repeat the above process but press the transmitter button on the second transmitter twice in order to avoid interference  
with the first system. Our wireless topology uses adaptive frequency hopping. If interference is detected the transmitter and receiver  
automatically switch to another channel. If for some reason the pairing is interrupted then re-pairing will resolve the problem and return  
the system to normal operation.  
6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only  
with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.  
PORTABLE CART WARNING  
NOTE: Recommended wireless operating range is 50 feet. The range depends on usage and obstructions between the transmitter and  
receiver.  
Option 2: Wired Direct Connection Setup  
This is the recommended (wired) method of connection for those applications where the Wireless Transmitter will not be used. Never  
attempt to connect your PC-SUB WL using both the wired and wireless hookups.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-  
003.  
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be  
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that  
its location or position does not interfere with its proper  
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated  
on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the  
ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as  
a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through  
the ventilation openings.  
Most A/V receivers and processors are equipped with a “Subwoofer Out” or “Pre-Amp Out” connection. Run a dedicated RCA interconnect  
cable from the “SUB OUT” terminal on your receiver or amplifier to the “LINE IN” terminal on the subwoofer.  
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la  
norme NMB-003 du Canada.  
Bass Management  
Many home theater receivers/processors have a “Bass Management” feature that controls how the bass is processed and delivered to  
the subwoofers. Look carefully in your amplifier or receiver’s instruction manual for details on how to adjust this feature for your system.  
APPLICABLE FOR USA, CANADA OR WHERE APPROVED  
FOR USAGE  
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE PLUG TO  
WIDE SLOT, INSERT FULLY.  
When used with a Dolby Digital or DTS-capable receiver/processor with the transmitter or subwoofer hooked to the sub out turn the “LOW-  
PASS FREQUENCY” control to the “LFE” setting on the back of your subwoofer.  
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat  
sources such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances that  
produce heat.
