D-N1 speakers

Note that the D-N1 speakers are not supplied with all models.

Location precautions

The speaker cabinets are made from wood, making them sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity.

Do not put the speakers in locations sub- ject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, bathroom, or kitchen.

Using with a TV or computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discoloration or picture distortion when normal speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the D-N1 speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off the TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removes any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems remain, try moving the speakers away from the TV or monitor. Note that discoloration may also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool in close proximity to the TV or monitor.

When speakers are used close to a TV or computer monitor, due to the noise caused by the electromagnetic waves from the TV or monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even after the CR-N1 has been turned off. To prevent this, position the speakers away from the TV or computer monitor.

Operation precautions

The speakers have been designed to handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following abnormal signals are fed to the speakers, even if the input power is within the specified range, the speakers may be damaged: noise produced when no FM station is tuned; the sound produced when fast forwarding a cassette tape deck; high-frequency sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on; oscillating amplifier signals; special test signals from audio test CDs, and so on; sounds produced when connecting and disconnecting audio cables (always turn off the CR-N1 before connecting and disconnecting audio cables); microphone feedback.

Since the tweeters use strong magnets, do not place metal objects such as screwdrivers near to them. Otherwise, the object may be attracted towards the tweeter causing injury or damage to the tweeter.
