Harman Kardon CITATION 5.2 Owners Manual - Page 4

Unpacking The carton and shipping materials used in protecting your new speaker were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration of shipping. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or should the unit ever need repair. To minimize the size of the carton while in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This may be done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard packaging and protective materials may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag. Speaker Placement The Citation 5.2 is specifically designed to be used in a vertically-oriented operating position. Operating the speaker in a horizontal position will compromise system performance. To assure optimal performance of the Citation 5.2, careful placement of the speakers in a system is of great importance. If you are in doubt as to the proper speaker locations in your specific installation, please consult your dealer or installer. They know your installation best, and will be able to advise you on speaker placement. Ideally, the speakers should be placed so that they are located at a height equivalent to the seated listener's ear level. This may require the speakers to be placed on stands to elevate them to the proper height. If the speakers must be placed near the floor, underneath a projection screen, they should be angled up slightly towards the listener's ears. (Figure 1) 1 !
