Precaution for when hanging the speaker system on walls
and pillars

●

Check and make sure that the walls and pillars are strong enough to
enable the installation of the speaker system. If they are weak, it is
imperative that you reinforce them.
If walls or pillars with insufficient strength are employed, the speaker
system may fall, resulting in injury and/or trouble.

●

Installing the provided wall hanging bracket.
1) Connect the speaker cord.
2) Install the provided wall hanging bracket onto the speaker body with

the screw that is also provided.

3) Adjust the angle of the speaker body.
4) Use the hole of wall hanging bracket and hang it on a nail or a wooden

screw of the wall.

You can adjust the angle by loosening the screw.
Tighten the screw after adjusting the angle.

CONNECTION

1. If cords are covered with insulation, twist the core of the cord at the end

of each cord,then remove the insulation.

2. Insert it into the hole while pressing down the terminal lever.

■

CONNECTION

• Connect the LEFT speaker terminals of the amplifier to the terminals of

the LEFT speaker and RIGHT to RIGHT and CENTER to CENTER using
the attached speaker cords as shown in the figure making sure polarity is
correct; (+) to (+) and (–) to (–). Connect the black speaker wire to the
(–) terminal.

• Turn off power to the whole system before connecting the speakers to

the amplifier.

• The nominal impedance of the SP-X103 is 8

Ω

. Select for use an amplifier

to which a speaker system with the load impedance of 8

Ω

can be

connected.

• The maximum power handling capacity of the SP-X103 is 100 W.

Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage. In
cases where the signals described below are applied to the speakers,
even if the signals are below the maximum allowable input, they may
cause an overload and burn the wiring of the speakers. Be sure to lower
the amplifier volume beforehand.
1) Noise during FM tuning.
2) High level signals containing high frequency components produced

by a tape deck in the fast forward mode.

3) Click noise produced when turning power of other components on and

off.

4) Click noise produced when connecting or disconnecting cords with

the power on.

5) Click noise produced when the cartridge is replaced with the power

on.

6) Click noise produced when operating amplifier switches.
7) Continuous high frequency oscillation or high pitch electronically

produced musical instrument sound.

8) Howling when using a microphones.

SPEAKER FOR A/V COMBINATION

SP-X103 have a magnetically-shielded design for placement adjacent to
TVs and monitors without causing color aberrations. However, color may be
affected as a result of how the speaker system is installed. Therefore, be
careful of the following:
1. When placing these speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power

switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.
Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before turning on
the TV’s power.

2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that system

may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.

3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some types of TV’s

may be affected by them. If this happens, move the speakers a short
distance form the TV set.
