Warnings, Cautions and Others

Precautions for installation

•Do not install the speakers on an uneven surface or in a place subject to vibration; otherwise, they may fall over, causing damage or injury.

–Take the occurrence of earthquakes or other physical shocks into consideration when selecting the installation place, and secure the speakers thoroughly.

•To prevent deformation or discoloration of the cabinet, do not install the speakers where they are exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity, and avoid installation near air conditioning outlets.

•Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place the speakers as far away from the player as possible.

•The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.

–When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers further away from the TV.

•Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if a speaker is installed near the tuner. In this case, leave more distance between the tuner and the speakers or use an outdoor antenna for better tuner reception without interference from the speakers.

Precautions for Daily Use

•To maintain the appearance of the speakers

Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet or control panel should become dirty.

If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry cloth.

•To improve the sound field

If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass door, etc., it is recommended to furnish the wall with materials that absorb sounds, for example by hanging up thick curtains, to prevent reflections and standing waves.

Speaker and Speaker cords— to improve the sound quality

When connecting the speaker cords

Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·); otherwise, the sound will lose the surround effect.

After connecting, check that the exposed cores are fully inserted into the terminal.

When using other speaker cords

Observe the following;

•Buy thick speaker cords rather than thin cords, and make them as short as possible for connection.

•Use speaker cords of the same length for both left and right speakers.

•Do not use long speaker cords; otherwise, the sound quality may deteriorate.

•To use the speakers without any trouble

–Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal heat buildup.

–When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords; otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.

–When holding a satellite speaker, do not grasp the speaker (upper) portion, but always grasp the leg (lower) portion of the satellite speaker.
