Direct the loudspeakers towards the listening area. For optimum performance, make sure that both speakers are placed at an equal distance above the floor.
The main lead must be plugged into an appropriate socket.
Before plugging your system into a main socket, you must check the voltage setting (OPTIONAL). If the voltage of the socket does not correspond to the setting on the rear of the unit, you may seriously damage your system.
