The two speakers are identical, so it doesn’t matter which one you use on the left or right.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discolora- tion or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, how- ever, discoloration may still be an issue. In this case, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If dis- coloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Note:

If the speakers are placed close to a TV or monitor, due to the electromagnetic waves radiated by the TV or monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even after your amplifier has been turned off. To prevent this, position the speakers away from your TV or monitor.

Removing the Speaker Grilles

You can use the speakers either with or without their grilles, which can be removed as follows.

1.Use both hands to gently pull the bottom of the grille away from the speaker.

2.Use both hands to gently pull the top of the grille away from the speaker.

3.To replace the grille, align the four fasteners and gen- tly push the grille toward the speaker.

Using the Included Cork Spacers

You can improve the sound quality by attaching the included cork spacers to raise the speakers off the surface and reduce the contact area. The cork spacers also make the speakers stable and prevent them from slipping.

Connecting the Speakers

Before connecting the speakers, disconnect your amplifier’s power cord from the wall outlet and set its volume control to minimum.

The speaker’s rated impedance is 4. Make sure you con- nect an amplifier that is compatible with a 4impedance.

Use the supplied speaker cables to connect the speak- ers to your amplifier as shown.
