Be careful that whatever you connect to the Power Stand Bass Output is compatible with this. Note: On the {{Classic}}, this connection is called Amp3 Out, and in later versions that connection has a blue background. | Be careful that whatever you connect to the Power Stand Bass Output is compatible with this.

After it turned out, that the concept did indeed work many more manufactures turned out products in the same category and in the process subwoofer became the common term. Maybe the marketing departments wanted to imply that it's similar to a real movie sound system, maybe they just didn't know the difference. | After it turned out, that the concept did indeed work many more manufactures turned out products in the same category and in the process subwoofer became the common term.

a) Subwoofer is a low frequency extension, but the system can also work without it | <br />a) Subwoofer is a low frequency extension, but the system can also work without it | ||

Of course, in the end it's just nit-picking and common use defines language more than any technical specification. | Of course, in the end it's just nit-picking and common use defines language more than any technical specification. | ||
