●Since these speakers can be wall mounted, it is essential that they are firmly secured. Be sure to consult a reliable source about the best type of hanger for your particular wall’s construction. Secure installation is the purchaser’s responsibility.
●Do not attach them to thin plywood or soft wall surface materials as the screws may tear free, causing the speakers to fall and be damaged, or result in personal injury.
●Do not fasten the speakers to walls with nails, adhesives, or other unsafe hardware.
●Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also ensure better sound performance.
●Placing the speakers on the same stand or shelf as a turntable can result in feedback.
●This speaker features a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speaker away from the TV set.
●Never touch the woofer or tweeter units with your hands or expose them to excessive physical shock. If they are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.
●Lower the power amplifier/receiver volume control before changing input sources. Never change input sources (for example, FM to CD) at high listening levels. Always turn the receiver / amplifier unit off when installing or removing input cables.
●Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your power amplifier / receiver to a lower setting. Never allow your power amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.
●Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
●To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
