Caution : Read this item carefully to keep your safety.
Important safeguards
1. Suff ocation
- After taking the unit out of the polyethylene
bag, be sure to dispose of the polyethylene bag out of the
reach of children. Otherwise, they may play with the bag,
which could cause hazard of suff ocation.
2. Water and moisture
- Do not place a liquid container,
such as a vase and water basin, on the appliance. Also
avoid installing the unit in a place subject to dampness.
3. Heat
- Do not install the unit near a source of heat, such as
radiators, or under direct sunlight.
4. Modifi cation
- Do not attempt to open or modify the unit,
for this could cause fi re hazard or malfunction.
5. Cleaning
- Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol,
paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabi-
net. Use a clean dry cloth.
6. Abnormal smell
- If an abnormal smell or smoke is detect-
ed, immediately turn the power OFF and unplug the appli-
ance from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest
service center.
Installation
About Using Speakers Near a TV
This speaker include magnetic shielding and can therefore
be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing the
speaker too close to a CRT type TV may in some cases pro-
duce distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on
the TV and check that color reproduction is normal. If color
is distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it
back on and check again. (This allows the TV's degaussing cir-
cuitry to correct for the magnetic fi eld from the speakers.) If
distortion is still present, move the speakers further from the
TV.
• If there is a source of magnetism, including a magnet, is lo-
cated in the proximity, its interaction with the speaker may
produce color irregularities on the TV screen. Be careful of
the installation layout.
• Due to induction by electromagnetic waves generated
from the TV set, the speakers may generate noise even
when the power switch of the stereo system is set to OFF.
In this case, install the TV set and speaker system at a larger
distance.
On the Desktop or Shelf
Place the speaker on the desktop, shelf or a similar level sur-
face.
• The speakers are not fi xed on the desktop or shelf. Be care-
ful not to topple them down.
• Be careful not to have your foot caught by the speaker
wire.
• Attach four cushions to the base of the speaker, one at
each corner. The cushions prevent the speaker from slid-
ing, and dampen its vibrations.
Cushion
Note on operation
1. The nominal impedance of the speaker system is 6
ohms. Before using the system, check the specifi cations
of your amplifi er and receiver to confi rm that they ac-
cept a load impedance of 6 ohms.
2. The maximum input power that is allowed to be input
to this speaker system is 80 W. If an excessive power is
applied to the speakers, the audio quality may be de-
teriorated or malfunction may occur. In addition, heat
generation may rise the temperature of the tweeters
and the surroundings, causing burns to persons touch-
ing them. Take special care in the following points
when using the system.
• Even when the output power of the amplifier in use is
lower than the maximum allowable input power of the
speaker system, increasing the volume too much will
distort the amplifi er output and causes an excessive in-
put to the system. Be sure not to increase the amplifi er
volume too much.
• Do not increase the amplifier volume too much while
the low- and/or high-frequency levels are enhanced with
the tone controls (BASS, TREBLE) or loudness control of
the amplifi er.
• Avoid applying continuously the inter-station noise
in
FM broadcasting or a special signal (one containing har-
monics, etc.) such as that generated during fast forward-
ing of tape to the speaker system.
• Minimize the amplifi er volume when changing a switch
position or placing a stylus on an analog disc.
