Precautions
In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product name indicates the color. Specifications and operation are the same regardless of the color.
The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If they’re fed any of the following signals, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1.Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2.Audio from a cassette that’s being
3.
4.Amplifier oscillation.
5.Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6.Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon- necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables).
7.Microphone feedback.
The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put metal items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, as they may be attracted toward the magnet, causing injury, or damage to the tweeter diaphragm.

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.
