Speaker Setting For A/V Combination

SP-MXSK3 and SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design for placement adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color aberrations. However, color may be affected by the way of installing the speaker system. Therefore, please take note of the following:

1. When placing these speakers near a TV set, turn off TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before

turning on the TV’s power.

2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.

3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.

IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

• You can playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

Speaker Setting For A/V Combination

SP-MXSK3 and SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design for placement adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color aberrations. However, color may be affected by the way of installing the speaker system. Therefore, please take note of the following:

1. When placing these speakers near a TV set, turn off TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before

turning on the TV’s power.

2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.

3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.

IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

• Connect the right rear speaker to the RIGHT jack.

• Connect the left rear speaker to the LEFT jack.

How to install Surround Speakers

• This equipment is not magnet-proof. If it is placed near a TV set, color on a TV screen may become uneven. Therefore, when installing, locate the speaker at sufficient distance away from the TV set.

• When setting the speaker on a high shelf, be sure to fix them to the shelf by using metal braces: this is a precaution to avoid the speakers from falling off due to shelf trembling.

CAUTION:

The speakers are designed to be attached on the wall. Please have the qualified personnel to attach the speakers on the wall. DO NOT hang the speakers by yourself to avoid the unexpected danger whereby the speakers fall off due to incorrect attachment or unstable wall.

Connecting Other Equipment

You can connect both analog and digital equipment.

Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

1 2 3

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

• CD (Audio CD)

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

Continuous use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

• You can playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

Speaker Setting For A/V Combination

SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design for placement adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color aberrations. However, color may be affected by the way of installing the speaker system. Therefore, please take note of the following:

1. When placing these speakers near a TV set, turn off TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before

turning on the TV’s power.

2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.

3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.

IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

1 2 3

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

• CD (Audio CD)

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

Continuous use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

• You can playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
