[GETTING STARTED AND PRECAUTIONARY NOTES]
For proper connection and therefore 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 amplier 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 amplier 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 amplier and the negative side of the cable to the negative terminals.
Amplier selection is critical to your enjoyment of your new speakers. If you are considering upgrading your current component amplier or
multi-function 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 amplier – could eventually damage your speakers and
your amplier. Begin and end listening sessions at low volume levels so you will not power up your system the next time with possibly harmful
high voltages. A damaging surge also could result if you change the input source (from FM tuner to CD player, for example) at high volume
levels.
If you suspect that one channel of your amplier has failed, have it repaired immediately by your dealer. Damage to your speakers could occur
if you switch between the good and defective channels.
