Before Using Your New Speakers ࡮The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Do not use them in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen. ࡮Place the speakers on sturdy, flat surfaces. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces where they may fall and cause damage will affect the sound quality. ࡮Do not keep water or other liquids close to the speakers. If a liquid is spilled over them, the woofer and tweeter inside may be damaged. ࡮Do not handle the speakers with wet or damp hands. Precautions In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product name indicates the color. Specifications and operation are the same regardless of the color. The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If they're fed any of the following signals, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. 2. Audio from a cassette that's being fast-forwarded. 3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musi- cal instrument, and so on. 4. Amplifier oscillation 5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. 6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables). 7. Microphone feedback The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put metal items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, as they damage to the tweeter diaphragm. Getting to Know the Speakers Tweeter Grille attachment catcher Cabinet Woofer Grille The two speakers are identical, so it doesn't matter which one you use on the left or right. Using Close to a TV or Computer TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor. Removing the Grills Using the Cork Spacers Cork spacer Remove 2 Replace Bottom Connection the Speakers ࡮ Before connecting the speakers, disconnect your amplifiers power cord from the wall outlet and set its volume control to minimum. ࡮ The speaker's rated impedance is 4 Ÿ. Make sure you connect an amplifier that is compatible with a 4 Ÿ impedance. ࡮ Use the supplied speaker cables to connect the speakers to your amplifier as shown. 1. Peel the insulation off the ends of the speaker cable and twist the core wires. 2. Loosen the terminal screw and insert the speaker cable into the hole (until the core wires are inserted fully). 3. Fasten the terminal screw. Right speaker Positive (+) side is indicated by a red line Left speaker Speaker cable The type of speaker terminals used on the amplifier and their position depends on the model. Refer to the amplifier's instruction manual for details on connecting speakers to the amplifier. ࡮ Make sure the speaker's positive (+) terminals are connected to the amplifier's positive (+) terminals, and the speaker's negative (-) terminals are connected to the amplifier's negative (-) terminals. ࡮ Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) wires are not touching each other. If they are, a short circuit may occur, damaging your amplifier. Care To maintain the appearance of the speakers, you should periodically wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other solvents that may damage the finish.
