WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

Important Safety Instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
10.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
11.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of time.
12.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
13.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
A. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
apparatus,
B. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,
C. If the apparatus does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its
normal operation,
D. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any

way, and
E. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
14.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases
shall be placed on the apparatus.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this
unit.
15.
If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as
a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate
ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10
cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board
above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the
rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to
escape.
Precautions
Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened
with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit
immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because
they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

Speaker Precautions
Placement
0 The speaker cabinets are sensitive to extreme
temperatures and humidity, do not put them in locations
subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as
near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
0 Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may
be damaged.
0 Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause
damage, will affect the sound quality.
0 If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD
player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To
prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD
player or DVD player otherwise lower the unit’s output
level.
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed
nearby. To prevent this, some speakers feature internal
magnetic shielding.
Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or
demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor.
Check the speaker specification to see if your speakers are
magnetic shielded or not.
For non-magnetic shielded speakers:
Try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If
discoloration should occur, turn off your TV or monitor, wait
15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This
normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes
the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration
effects.

Speaker cable
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following
signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the
specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker
coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic
musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting
audio cables. (Always turn off your amplifier before
connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.
Before Using Your New Speakers
In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the
product name indicates the color. Specifications and
operation are the same regardless of the color.
The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put metal
items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, as they
damage to the tweeter diaphragm.
En
The type of speaker terminals used on the amplifier and their
position depends on the model. Refer to the amplifier’s
instruction manual for details on connecting speakers to the
amplifier.
The two speakers are identical, so it doesn’t matter which one
you use on the left or right.
Removing the Grills Using the Cork Spacers
0 Before connecting the speakers, disconnect your
amplifiers power cord from the wall outlet and set its
volume control to minimum.
0 The speaker’s rated impedance is 4 Ω. Make sure you
connect an amplifier that is compatible with a 4 Ω
impedance.

0 Make sure the speaker’s positive (+)
terminals are connected to the amplifier’s
positive (+) terminals, and the speaker’s
negative (–) terminals are connected to
the amplifier’s negative (–) terminals.
0 Make sure that the positive (+) and
negative (–) wires are not touching each
other. If they are, a short circuit may
occur, damaging your amplifier.
