GETTING STARTED AND PRECAUTIONARY NOTES

For proper connection and full enjoyment of your new Phase Technology speakers, we encourage you to read this owners’ manual thoroughly, even
if you are very familiar with installing speakers and home entertainment equipment.

Speaker placement is very subjective. Placement follows the guidelines for the developers of multi-channel home entertainment systems, yet is also
guided by personal preferences. The proper spacing, location and adjustment of front, rear and center-channel speakers as well as subwoofers are
critical for complete enjoyment of your new speakers. This manual covers these topics thoroughly.

Before connecting your new speakers or other system components, turn the system power off and unplug your amplier to avoid any possibility of
damage from power surges or unbalanced loads before the system is properly connected.

Observe speaker polarity carefully! Every cable, speaker terminal and amplier connection are clearly marked to show their positive (+) and negative
(-) polarities. For ideal system performance, always connect the positive side of the cable (marked with a stripe, color and /or other indicator) to the
positive terminals on your speakers and amplier and the negative side of the cable to the negative terminals.

Amplier selection is critical to your enjoyment of your new speakers. If you are considering upgrading your current component amplier or multi­function receiver, we suggest purchasing as much power as your budget can afford. It will always be preferable to have an affordable high-powered
model with fewer “bells and whistles” than a lower-powered model straining to operate near its power limits.

High volume settings that produce audible distortion – indicating an under-powered amplier – could eventually damage your speakers and your
amplier.
