Connection

• The speaker cabinet is made of wood and is therefore
sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid
placing the speaker systems in locations subjected to
direct sunlight, or in smoky or in humid places, such as
near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
Doing so may result in damage to the speaker.

• Place the unit on a rigid, level surface. Placing it on a
slanted surface or weak base not only may cause the unit
to fall, but also results in decreased sound quality.

• Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If water is
spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also the speakers
themselves may be damaged.

Removal Replacement

Base

Before turning on the amplifier’s power switch:

• Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker
cables do not contact each other. Otherwise, a short­circuit may occur, causing damage to the amplifier.

Be sure to connect the speaker cables with correct polarity

•
(connect the speaker’s positive (+) and negative (-)

binding
posts with the amplifier’s corresponding speaker
terminals). Reversed polarity results in impaired bass­range reproduction, causing mislocalization of the sound
image. Also, be sure to connect the Right and Left
speakers with the amplifier’s corresponding speaker
terminals.

• Pull lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are
connected firmly.
