How to install

Choosing where to place the speaker systems

•Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.

•For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the speakers, and position the speakers as shown below. The level of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers closer to or further from the wall. Adjust the speakers so that they are equidistant from their respective side walls to assure balanced sound.

50 to 60

•Place the left and right speakers equal distances from your listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the same length for each speaker.

•So far as possible, place the front left and front right speakers on the same plane as the TV screen.

•To achieve optimum surround sound, you should place the TV between the left and right speakers, with the speakers pointing at a 50 to 60 degree angle toward the listening position.

•If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. For best results, cover walls completely.

•These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers which will give their best performance when placed on a solid, level surface off the floor. Placing the speakers directly on the floor will result in boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the tweeters should be at about ear level when seated in your listening position. We recommend using the CP-31B speaker stand for optimal sound and stability.

If you choose to use the CP-31B speaker stand, make sure you secure it with the screws provided.

(for more details, refer to the operating instructions of CP-31B)

•This unit has two screw holes on the bottom panel. These holes are meant for joint use with speaker brackets and speaker stands; speaker brackets are commercially available and can be used to mount the speakers on a wall. The diagram below shows the spacing and size of the holes. When choosing a speaker bracket, make sure that it can hold at least 2.5 kg. Please also read the instructions that come with the bracket. Speakers that are not mounted properly are a hazard.

Use 5 mm screws

•Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the safety metal to securely support the speaker to the wall. Be sure that the wall to which you fasten the speaker is strong enough to support the weight of the speaker. After fastening the speaker, make sure that it does not fall over.

Mounting the Safety metal for Fall-Prevention

•Do not attach the safety metal directly to the wall. It should only be used in conjunction with reinforced string to prevent the speaker from falling.

•Using the included screw, tightly secure the safety metal to the backside of the speaker.

•Pass two reinforced strings through the safety metal, and fasten the speaker to the wall as shown above.

•If you mount the speakers on the wall or ceiling, first make sure that the mounting surface can bear at least 2.5 kg. If you’re unsure of the load capability, please seek professional advice.

After installing, make sure the speakers are securely fixed.
