Quick Tip
A speaker system's sound characteristics will change
depending on the environment and conditions under which the
system is. A speaker system can be used without problem
immediately after purchase, but its design performance
characteristics will be best demonstrated after breaking them
in by playing music for several dozen hours.
When using the supplied speaker stand in a horizontal
installation, pass the speaker wire through the speaker
stand before connecting. When mounting vertically, pass
the wires through the mounting fixture before connecting.

Before you start
•
The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 ohms.
Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load
impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with
“4 – 16 Ω” displayed on the speaker output terminals).
In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from
input overload, please observe the following precautions:
•
•
•
Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the
maximum permissible input.
When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV system,
make sure the amplifier is switched off.
When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in
the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier
volume.
Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud
volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be

This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However,
depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur
if the speaker system is installed extremely close to the screen
off a television set. If this happens, turn off the television, then
turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists,
place the speaker system away from the television set.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Usedwisely,yournewsoundequipmentwillprovidealifetime
of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is
often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
ElectronicIndustriesAssociation’sConsumerElectronicsGroup
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing.
