UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.
PLACEMENT
NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location.
CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower) loudspeakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and tip over during events such as earthquakes, or if rocked, tipped or improperly positioned. If this is a concern, these speakers should be anchored to the wall behind them, using the same procedures and hardware customary for anchoring bookcases and wall units. The customer is responsible for proper installation and proper selection of hardware.
STEREO
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind, using Figure 1 as a guide:
•For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' (1.5m– 2.5m) apart.
•Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level.
•Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.
•Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the speakers for home theater reproduction.
