IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and  
operating instructions should be read  
before the PlayWorks PS2000 Digital  
amplified subwoofer/satellite system is  
operated.  
VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the  
cabinet are provided for ventilation, to  
ensure reliable operation of the subwoofer  
and to prevent it from overheating; and  
these openings must not be blocked or  
covered. The openings should never be  
blocked by placing the product on a bed,  
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The  
subwoofer should not be placed in a built-in  
installation such as a bookcase or rack  
unless proper ventilation is provided or  
Cambridge SoundWorks’ instructions have  
been adhered to.  
POWER-CORD PROTECTION- Power-supply  
cords should be routed so that they are not  
likely to be walked on or pinched by items  
placed upon or against them, paying  
particular attention to cords at plugs,  
convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the subwoofer.  
b) If liquid has been spilled, or object have  
fallen into the subwoofer.  
c) If the subwoofer has been exposed to rain  
or water.  
d) If the subwoofer does not operate normally  
by following the operating instructions; or  
exhibits a distinct change in performance.  
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and  
operating instructions should be retained  
for future reference.  
LIGHTNING - For added protection for the  
PlayWorks PS2000 Digital system during a  
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended  
and unused for long periods of time, unplug  
it from the wall outlet. This will prevent  
damage to the subwoofer due to lightning  
and power-line surges.  
e) If the product has been dropped or  
damaged in any way.  
HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the  
subwoofer and in the operating instructions  
should be adhered to.  
REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement  
parts are required, be sure the service  
technician has used replacement parts  
specified by Cambridge SoundWorks or  
have the same characteristics as the  
original part. Unauthorized substitutions  
may result in fire, electric shock, or other  
hazards.  
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and  
use instructions should be followed.  
HEAT - The subwoofer should be situated  
away from heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, and  
other products (including amplifiers) that  
produce heat.  
CLEANING - Unplug the subwoofer from the  
wall outlet or other power source before  
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol  
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets,  
extension cords, or integral convenience  
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire  
or electric shock.  
ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not  
recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks  
as they may cause hazards.  
SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any  
service or repairs to the PlayWorks PS2000  
Digital system, ask the service technician  
to perform safety checks to determine that  
the PlayWorks PS2000 Digital system is in  
proper operating condition.  
POWER SOURCES - The subwoofer should  
be operated only from the type of power  
source indicated on the marking label. If  
you are not sure of the type of power supply  
to your home, consult your product dealer  
or local power company. For products  
intended to operate from battery power or  
other sources, refer to the operating  
instructions.  
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push  
objects of any kind into the subwoofer  
through openings as they may touch  
dangerous voltage points or short out parts  
that could result in a fire or electric shock.  
Never spill liquid of any kind on the  
subwoofer.  
WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the  
subwoofer near water—for example, near a  
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a  
swimming pool; and the like.  
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The  
PlayWorks PS2000 Digital satellites should  
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks.  
SERVICING - Do not attempt to service the  
subwoofer yourself as opening or removing  
covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing  
to qualified service personnel.  
ACCESSORIES - Do not place the PlayWorks  
PS2000 Digital system on an unstable cart,  
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The  
POLARIZATION - The subwoofer may be  
equipped with a polarized alternating-  
current line plug (a plug having one blade  
wider than the other). This plug will fit into  
the power outlet only one way. This is a  
safety feature. If you are unable to insert  
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing  
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,  
contact your electrician to replace your  
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety  
purpose of the polarized plug.  
subwoofer or satellites may fall, causing  
serious injury to a child or adult, and  
serious damage to the product. Use only  
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table  
recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks,  
or sold with the product. Any mounting of  
the satellites or subwoofer should follow  
the manufacturer’s instructions, and should  
use a mounting accessory recommended  
by Cambridge SoundWorks.  
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug  
the subwoofer from the wall outlet or other  
power source and refer servicing to  
qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions:  
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is  
damaged.

Surround Reference  
Dolby Digital  
Creative Multi Speaker Surround (CMSS)  
Dolby Digital (earlier called AC-3) delivers five discreet full-range channels (left  
front, center, right front, left surround and right surround) plus a separate Low  
Frequency Effects (LFE) channel.  
CMSS is a 2-channel to 5.1-channel sound processor similar in some aspects to a  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic processor.  
The Music and Movie modes create a virtual 5.1 audio experience.  
Many soundtracks on the latest generation laser discs, DVDs and High Definition  
Television (HDTV), are encoded with Dolby Digital technology.  
When a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital program source is playing, such as from a game  
console, Creative PC-DVD player or DVD player, the Dolby Digital indicator light  
will illuminate automatically.  
Note: Not every section of a DVD will be 5.1-channel encoded. On many DVDs,  
only the main movie program will be available in 5.1 channel sound. Other supporting  
chapters (like a “Director’s Comment” section) may be in stereo or mono. These  
sections will not light the Dolby Digital indicator even though the sound will be  
properly reproduced by the PS2000 Digital.

PS2000 Digital_UK.book Page 15 Thursday, August 3, 2000 10:53 AM
