Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound
field. Note the following points.

≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can re-

sult in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick cur­tain.

play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

–When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,

noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscil­lator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality.
–When turning the unit on or off.
