CONSUMER PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before operating your NS-AP2800 speakers.

Since these speakers can be wall mounted, it is essential that they are firmly secured. Be sure to consult a
reliable source about the best type of hanger for your particular wall
purchaser

Do not attach them to thin plywood or soft wall surface materials as the screws may tear free, causing the
speakers to fall and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

Do not fasten the speakers to walls with nails, adhesives, or other unsafe hardware. Long-term use and
vibrations may cause them to pull free.

Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound performance.

Placing the speakers on the same stand or shelf as a turntable can result in feedback.

This speaker features a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a
TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speaker away from the TV set.

Never touch the woofer or tweeter units with your hands or expose them to excessive physical shock. If they
are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.

Lower the power amplifier / receiver volume control before changing input sources. Never change input
sources (for example, FM to CD) at high listening levels. Always turn the receiver / amplifier unit off when
installing or removing input cables.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

Attaching the non-skid pads to the speakers

Place the speakers on a sturdy, vibration-free surface, such as a well-built stand. Attach the included non-skid
pads to the bottom of the speakers to prevent the speakers from slipping.

Wall mounting the front and/or surround speakers

When mounting the speakers on a wall, attach one of the non-skid pads provided near each of the corners on
the rear surface of the speaker to prevent the speaker cable from being caught between the wall and the
speaker.

You can also use the screw holes on the back of the speaker for
installing the speakers on commercially available speaker brackets.

When using speaker brackets to mount the speakers on a wall or ceiling, it is strongly recommended that
safety wire, which may be included with the bracket, be used between the speaker and the bracket to prevent
the speaker from falling.

Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in the figure, and hang the holes of the mounting
bracket on the protruding screws.
Make sure that the screws are securely caught by the narrow sections of the

Each speaker weighs 2.05 lbs (0.93 kg). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or a wall with soft
surface material, since the screws may pull away from the surface and fall. This will damage the speakers

and can cause personal injury.

Do not mount tne speakers on a wall with nails, adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long-term
use and vibrations may cause them to fall.

To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cords, they should be affixed to the wall or
floor molding.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

This speaker system consists of front, center and surround speakers.

Front speaker placement should be separated byadistance of 6-1 0ft . lf they are placed too close together,
there will be a reduction in the stereo effect. Conversely, lf placed too far apart, the so called middle­omission effect will occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Height of the speaker should be at least at ear

level.

Center channel speakers should be placedcentered aboveor below the TV.

Surround speakers should ideally be placed behind the listening area, at least as far apart as the front
speakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side. The height of the speaker should be at a minimum of ear
level or preferably somewhat higher.
