Speaker System itself has been turned off.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the
ventilation opening of the Speaker System
with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
Do not expose the Speaker System to naked
flame sources (for example, lighted candles).
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose this Speaker System to dripping or
splashing, and do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, on the Speaker System.
As the main plug is used to disconnect the
Speaker System from the mains, connect
the Speaker System to an easily accessible
AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality
in the Speaker System, disconnect the main
plug from the AC outlet immediately.
Do not install the Speaker System in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

an incorrect type. Do not expose batteries
or appliances with battery-installed to
excessive heat, such as sunshine and fire.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
NOTE:
This Speaker System has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
Speaker System generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If
this Speaker System does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
Speaker System off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
Speaker System and receiver.
– Connect the Speaker System into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Properly shielded and grounded cables and
connectors must be used for connection to
host computers and/or peripherals in order
to meet FCC emission limits.

Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the unit, as you may
fall down and injure yourself, or the unit
damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the Speaker System,
check that the operating voltage is
identical with your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the bottom of the unit.
• The Speaker System is not disconnected
from the AC power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the speakers
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the speakers from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead),
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
• Do not place the Speaker System near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the
Speaker System that might cause
malfunctions.
• Use caution when placing the Speaker
System on surfaces that have been specially
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining
or discoloration of the surface may result.
Do not place this product close to
medical devices
• This product (including accessories)
has magnet(s) which may interfere with
pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for
hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical
devices. Do not place this product close
to persons who use such medical devices.
Consult your doctor before using this
product if you use any such medical device.
On operation
• Before connecting other equipment, be
sure to turn off and unplug the speakers.
On cleaning
• Clean these speakers with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive
pads, scouring powder, or solvents, such as
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
Precautions on heat buildup
• Although the speakers heat up during
operation, it is not a malfunction. If you
continuously use the speakers at a high
volume, the temperature of the top, sides,
and bottom of the cabinet, as well as the
heat sink (especially the area illustrated
below), rises. To avoid burning yourself, do
not touch the cabinet.
US
On placement
• Place the Speaker System in a location
with adequate ventilation to prevent
heat buildup and prolong the life of the
Speaker System.
Also, do not install the Speaker System in
a confined space. To prevent heat from
building up inside the speakers, use them
in a well-ventilated area.

Setting up the Speakers
The quality of the sound is affected by the environment in which the speakers are installed.
Consider the following when installing the speakers. We also recommend adjusting the
speakers to their optimal positions while playing back music to which you are used to
listening.
• Place the speakers so that their backs are to a wall.
• Place the speakers level on a sturdy desk or similar surface.
• Place the speakers so that the conditions (material of the mounting surface, distance from
the wall, etc.) for the left and right speakers are the same.

If you want to place both speakers to the right of the audio device, such as when the audio
device to be connected cannot be moved, you can switch the left and right speakers (place
speaker A on the left) to use them. In this case, set the SPK CH switch on the back of speaker A
to “L”.

• Position the speakers at an equal distance (A) from the listening position.

C
(A) (A)
• The distance between the wall and the speakers changes how you hear the bass. Place
the speakers so that the distance (B) from a wall to each speaker is 10 cm (4 inches), as a
guideline, and so that the distance is the same from side to side. The closer the speakers are
from a wall, the more bass you can hear.
• The angle (C) of each speaker also changes how you hear sound. We recommend that the
angle for each speaker to be 10°, as a guideline, in a range between 0° and 20°. The smaller
the angle is, the greater the sense of being on a vast stage is. The larger the angle is, the
sharper the sound image is.
Note
Do not place magnetic cards on or near the speakers.
