Notes on speaker use s You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods. s Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage. • When playing distorted sound. • When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument. • When adjusting the sound quality. • When turning the unit on or off. Positioning for best effect How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points. • Place speakers on flat secure bases. • Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can re- sult in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain. If irregular coloring occurs on your television These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations. If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes. The television's demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television. 7 RQT6345
