Safety Precautions
(A note on symbols used herein)
Warning
In order to ensure that the product is used properly and safely, a
number of different symbols are used to mark items designed to
prevent bodily injury to yourself or any third parties or to prevent any
damage to property from occurring. The meaning of these symbols
is as explained below. Be sure to read the following descriptions
carefully before reading the main text.
Warning
Items marked with this symbol indicate items containing instructions
which, if ignored or improperly followed, might result in death or bodily
injury.
Caution
Items marked with this symbol indicate items containing instructions
which, if ignored or improperly followed, might result in bodily injury
or damage to property.
Examples of symbols used herein
This symbol is used to mark cautions (and warnings)
containing instructions which must be followed.
This symbol is used to mark items containing instructions
about actions which are prohibited (i.e., which must never
be performed).
This symbol is used to mark items containing instructions
or other content requiring the user to take certain actions.
Before use
Be sure to follow the instructions below to protect your speakers
from damage from excessive input levels.
÷ Never play signals at a level exceeding maximum input.
÷ When connecting this product or any other audio or visual
equipment to an amplifier, be sure the power to the amplifier is
turned off.
÷ Avoid raising the volume too high when using an graphic equalizer
to greatly amplify high-frequency sounds.
÷ Never raise the volume too high when using a low-output amplifier.
(Doing so would result in increased distortion in the amplifier's
high-frequency range, and thus result in damage to the speakers.
Note
Depending on the manner of installation, there may be times when
colors blur or other effects appear on screen if the speaker is
placed in close proximity to any other type of plasma monitor.
If this happens, place the speakers at a distance from the monitor
during use.
÷ Never use the speakers to hold the plasma monitor
when moving the plasma monitor, as doing so might
cause the plasma monitor to fall and result in personal
injury. When moving the plasma monitor, always be
sure to hold the bottom of the main body of the
plasma monitor.
÷ Make sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are properly
tightened to ensure safety. Failing to do so may result
in the speakers falling, thus resulting in bodily injury.
Caution
Installation
÷ Never place the speakers or plasma monitor on an
unsteady platform or uneven surface, as doing so
might result in their falling and this in turn might result
in bodily injury.
÷ Never place the speakers or plasma monitor in a
location subjected to direct sunlight or excessively
high temperatures, as doing so might result in fires
occurring.
÷ Never place the speakers or plasma monitor in a
location where they would be subjected to excessive
levels of dust or humidity or in a location subject to
steam or smoke from oil (e.g., next to a stove or
heating plate), as doing so might result in fires
occurring.
Instructions for use
÷ Avoid using over long periods of time when significant
levels of sound distortion occur, as doing so might
cause the speakers to heat up excessively and this
could in turn result in fire.
÷ Never sit on or hang from the product. Particular care
should be taken around children, as doing so might
result in the product toppling over and this could in
turn result in damage to the product or bodily injury.
÷ Never insert water into the speakers or otherwise
allow them to become wet, as doing so might result in
fire or exposure to electrical shock. Also never use
this product outdoors, as doing so might similarly
result in fire or exposure to electrical shock.
÷ Never place any heavy objects on the speaker cords
or allow the speaker cords to be caught under the
plasma monitor. Doing so could result in damage to
the cords and this in turn might result in fire or
exposure to electrical shock.
÷ Never drop or insert any metallic objects, easily
flammable materials, or other foreign objects in the
mouths or other openings of the speakers, as doing
so might result in fire or exposure to electrical shock.
Special care should also be taken when using the
product in a home or other location where there are
small children.
÷ Never attach the speakers to any devices other than
the specified plasma monitors, as doing so might
result in fire or damage to the product.

¶ Never hold the speakers when speakers are attached to the plasma monitor to move the
plasma monitor. Doing so might result in the plasma monitor falling, and this in turn might
result in bodily injury.
¶ Be sure to screw the screws firmly into place. Failing to do so might result in the speakers
falling, and this in turn might result in bodily injury.
Connecting speaker cords
Be sure to turn off the power to the plasma monitor before
connecting the speakers.
Use the provided speaker cords to connect the R/L speaker jacks of
the plasma monitor to the speaker jacks of the speakers.
Once the cords have been connected, pull on the cords
lightly to make sure that they have been connected
firmly to the speaker jacks. An improper
connection might result in the sound
being interrupted or the appearance
of noise in the output sound.
Cord clampers
Remove the protective tape from the rear of the cord clampers, attach
the clampers in the desired position, and clamp the cords into place.
Note that the speaker cords have positive
and negative ends, and that you should be
sure to insert them correctly.
