SAFETY WARNINGS

CONSIGNES DE SECURITE

A Klipsch Tangent video shielded center channel should
be positioned on top of or below the television set, and
two Klipsch Tangent full range speakers are used as left
and right front channels. In the overhead view, two
Klipsch Tangent speakers have been added as rear surround
channels. One or two Klipsch powered subwoofers are
positioned to reproduce low frequencies.

Une enceinte Klipsch TANGENT canal central "video
shielded" est a positioner sur ou sous votre television.
Deux enceintes Klipsch TANGENT serviront aussi de
canal gauche et droite.

-Do NOT connect a loudspeaker directly to any AC electrical
wall outlet. Connection should be made only to an audio
amplifier or equivalent component and only as described in
the section entitled "How to Connect".

-Do NOT operate the loudspeaker under extremely humid or
adverse temperature conditions.

-Regardless of your amplifier's rated capacity, do NOT oper­ate the speakers at the full output (highest volume) position of
the amplifier. Amplifiers create extremely high 'levels of
distortion when operated at full output and such distortion
levels can cause damage to your loudspeakers.

-Position speaker connection wires so that they do not create
a hazard.

-Ne raccorder JAMAIS une enceinte directement a une prise
electrique. Le raccordement ne peut se faire qua un amplificateur
audio ou un appareil equivalent en respectant les instructions
reprises dans la section "Comment brancher vos enceintes?"

-N'utilisez JAMAIS vos enceintes dans des conditions d'humid­ite ou de temperature extremes.

-Quelle que soit la puissance de votre amplificateur, ne faites
JAMAIS fonctionner vos enceintes en reglant Ie volume de
l'amplificateur a son maximum. Lors qu'ils fonctionnent a
pleine puissance, les amplificateurs engendrent en effet des
distorsions d'endommager vos enceintes.

-Placer les cables de connexion des enceintes de telle maniere
qu'ils ne constituent aucon danger.

How TO CONNECT

Good cable and connections will make an audible improvement in
the sound of your TANGENT Loudspeakers.

1. Switch electronics to the "off' position.

2. For the left loudspeaker, connect the wire from the black termi­nal to the electronics speaker output tenninal for the left channel
labeled "common," "ground," "-," or colored black.

3. Then connect the wire from the red loudspeaker terminal to the
electronics speaker output terminal for the left channel labeled
"8.0.," "+," or colored red. (The wires of lampcord can be distin­guished from one another by noting that one insulating jacket is
smooth while the other has a "ridge" or other distinguishing marks.

4. Follow the same procedure for the right loudspeaker.

COMMENT BRANCHER VOS ENCEINTES

Des bons cables et un raccordement solide ameilorent sensiblement
la sonorite de vos enceintes TANGENT.

1. Verifiez que vous avez eteint votre installation.

2. Pour l'enceinte gauche, branchez Ie fil de la prise noire de
l' enceinte a la prise de sortie de l' amplificateur pour Ie canal
gauche marquee "ground," "-", ou en noir.

3. Puis branchez Ie fil de la prise rouge de l'enceinte a la prise de
sortie de l'amplificateur pour Ie canal droit marquee "S ohms,"
"SQ," "+," ou en rouge. (On peut distinguer les fils electriques les
uns des autres, car l'un d'eux est completement lisse, tandis que
l' autre est reche ou possede une autre marque distinctive.)

4. Procedez de la meme maniere pour l'enceinte droite.
