Warnings, Cautions and Others

Preparation

7 Precautions for installation

English

• 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.

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, wipe with a cloth applied a small amount of water or neutral detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

– Do not use chemicals such as benzine and thinner for

cleaning the cabinet.

• 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 Attaching the feet

Attach the supplied feet on the bottom of the speaker, so that you can protect the speaker cabinet, absorb the speaker vibration, and prevent the speaker slipping.

• Place a large, thick cloth under the speaker in order to protect the floor and the speaker.

7 Precautions

Before connecting:

• Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the speaker system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

• The impedance of the speaker is 6 Ω. If this does not match with the speaker impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you cannot connect this system to the amplifier.

• The maximum power handling capacity of the SX-WD8 is 150 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage.

• Be sure to turn down the volume level on the amplifier to prevent unwanted noise before performing following operations: – Turning on or off other components – Operating the amplifier – Tuning FM stations – Fast-forwarding a tape – Continuously reproducing high frequency oscillation or high

pitch electronic sounds

– Connecting or disconnecting a microphone

• When using a microphone, do not aim it at the speakers or use it near the speakers; otherwise, the howling which occurs may damage the speakers.

• Before replacing the cartridge, always turn off the power both to the amplifier and to the turntable; otherwise, the clicking noise may damage the speakers.

The speaker grille is removable as illustrated below:
