Not enough speaker cable? You can use longer speaker cables, but be
sure to get at least 24 gauge cables. Ask a salesperson for help if you
aren't sure what this means. Remember — if the cable is too long, you
won’t get as much power to the speakers.
Use alkaline batteries for the best performance. An optional
AC adapter is available from www.virgin.com/electronics.

headphone jack... Indulging your eccentric musical tastes late at night?
No need to disconnect your boomtube, just hook up a set of headphones
and keep the music to yourself. Your flatmates will appreciate it.
