■ CAUTION
• An incorrect connection may damage the speakers. Properly connect the cables to the speaker
terminals.
• Do not short-circuit the ª and · speaker terminals. Doing so may damage the main unit.
• The supplied speakers are manufactured exclusively for use with the supplied main unit as
parts of the DD-8/DD-3 system. Do not connect
the supplied speakers to devices other than the
supplied main unit. Doing so may damage the
speakers.
• Do not connect other speakers together with the
supplied speakers. The change in impedance
may damage the main unit and the speakers.
• Improper speaker cable connection spoils the
stereo effect and sound quality.
• Most of the supplied speakers* are magnetically
shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the
TV depending on some conditions. To prevent
color irregularity, set up the speakers following
the instructions below.
1. Turn off the main power of the TV before
setting up the speakers.
2. Place the speakers enough distance from the
TV so that they do not cause color irregularity
on the TV.
3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before
turning on the main power of the TV again.
* The subwoofer for DD-3 is not magnetically
shielded. With the exception of this
subwoofer, the supplied speakers are
