Quick Tip

A speaker system's sound characteristics will change depending on the environment and conditions under which the system is. A speaker system can be used without problem immediately after purchase, but its design performance characteristics will be best demonstrated after breaking them in by playing music for several dozen hours.

Before you start

•The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 ohms. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load

impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with “4 – 16 Ω” displayed on the speaker output terminals).

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

•Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the maximum permissible input.

•When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV system, make sure the amplifier is switched off.

•When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume.

•Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker).

Caution: installation

•Do not place the speakers on an unstable surface. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.

•Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you use the correct connecting cables.

•The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.

Caution: in use

•Don’t use the speakers to output distorted sound for long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.

•Do not sit or stand on the speakers or let children play on the speakers.

•Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speakers.

Connecting Speakers to Amplifier

1Disconnect the power cord to the amplifier.

2Use speaker wire to connect the input terminals on the rear panel of the speakers to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. Connect the hot-side speaker wire to the + speaker output terminal; connect the common-side speaker wire to the - speaker output terminal.

1. Remove insulation at end of wire and twist ends of wire strands.

2. Loosen the terminal screw and insert the twisted wire into the hole, then tighten the terminal screw securely.

When using the supplied speaker stand in a horizontal installation, pass the speaker wire through the speaker stand before connecting. When mounting vertically, pass the wires through the mounting fixture before connecting.
