When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

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

The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.

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

the speakers.

Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.

DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the speakers.
