The power recommendation for the system assumes you will
operate the amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion.
All speakers can be damaged by a modest amplifier if it is pro-
ducing distortion. If you hear a gritty noise or other signs of
strain, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of
your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage that is
not covered by the warranty.
For Painted Finishes
Including fronts, backs, bases, and metal grilles.
¤ Use a soft terry cloth towel slightly dampened with water or a
diluted mild detergent. The towel should be just damp enough
to wipe the surface clean without leaving a trail of moisture.
¤ Do not use abrasive cleaners or any cleaner containing chemi-
cals harsher than those found in glass cleaner.
For Oiled Natural Wood Finishes
To remove dust and fingerprints, use the same technique as
above.
¤ If your veneer begins to dry, apply a light coat of rose or
lemon wood oil. This should return the wood to its original
richness.
¤ Do not use spray waxes. These will create a buildup and
eventually cause the veneer to appear dull and lifeless.
Note: Your veneer’s appearance and color will mature and per-
haps darken over time.
¤ Avoid placing speakers in extreme conditions. If direct sunlight
is unavoidable, be sure that there is nothing partially covering
the veneer in order to prevent ”tan lines.”
¤ Avoid placing speakers where they could be subjected to
standing water. It will cause the wood to swell, breaking apart
glue joints and ruining the air seal.
Grilles
You can remove the grilles from the speaker system and wipe
them with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
Amplifier Protection
The subwoofer amplifier contains protection against fault condi-
tions of excessive DC output or thermal overload. If triggered,
the rear panel LED will glow red. Protection circuitry is not self-
resetting. To reset, turn off the main power switch, wait several
minutes for the unit to cool (if hot), and restore the power.
If this does not reset the LED to yellow or green, disconnect
the input and repeat. If this still does not remedy the fault,
contact your dealer or Snell Acoustics for service. If disconnect-
ing the system’s input restores the system to normal, associated
equipment is suspect and should be checked.
