Warnings, Cautions and Others

7 Precautions for installation

• Do not install the speakers on an uneven surface or in a place
subject to vibration; otherwise, they may fall over, causing
damage or injury.
– Take the occurrence of earthquakes or other

physical shocks into consideration when
selecting the installation place, and secure the
speakers thoroughly.

• To prevent deformation or discoloration of the
cabinet, do not install the speakers where they are
exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity, and
avoid installation near air conditioning outlets.

• Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place the
speakers as far away from the player as possible.

• 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 further away
from the TV.

• Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if a speaker is
installed near the tuner. In this case, leave more distance
between the tuner and the speakers or use an outdoor
antenna for better tuner reception without interference from
the speakers.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall
down or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be
careful that children do not lean against them.

7 Precautions for daily use

• To maintain the appearance of the speakers

Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet should become dirty.
If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent
to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry cloth.

• To improve the sound field

– It is recommended to leave a space of more than 50 cm

between the speakers and the wall.

– If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass

door, etc., it is recommended to furnish the wall
with materials that absorb sounds, for example
by hanging up thick curtains, to prevent
reflections and standing waves.

• To use the speakers without any trouble

– Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are

distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by
internal heat buildup.

– When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;

otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or
injury.

7 Checking the supplied accessories

• Base plates (2)

• Speaker grilles (2)

• Speaker cords (4 m, 2)

Preparation

7 Attaching the base plate

To prevent the speaker from falling over, be sure to attach the
supplied base plate to each speaker.

• Take care not to drop the base plate or speaker while
assembling; otherwise, it may cause damage to the floor or
injury.

• Ensure enough space for assembly and installation.

• Place a large, thick cloth on the floor where you assemble the
speaker, so you can protect the floor and the speaker itself.

• Do not touch the speaker units.

Turn the speaker upside down and attach the base plate
securely on the bottom of the speaker with the supplied
screws as illustrated.

• Prepare a Phillips screw driver.

• Make sure that the FRONT arrow on the top of the base plate
points the front side of the speaker.
