[GETTING STARTED AND PRECAUTIONARY NOTES]
For proper connection and therefore full enjoyment of your new Phase Technology speakers, we encourage you to read this owners’ manual thoroughly, even if you are
very familiar with installing speakers and home entertainment equipment. Speaker placement is very subjective. Placement follows the guidelines for the developers of
multi-channel home entertainment systems, yet is also guided by personal preferences. The proper spacing, location and adjustment of front, rear and center-channel
speakers as well as subwoofers are critical for complete enjoyment of your new speakers. This manual covers these topics thoroughly.
Before connecting your new speakers or other system components, turn the system power off and unplug your amplifier to avoid any possibility of damage from power
surges or unbalanced loads before the system is properly connected. Observe speaker polarity carefully! Every cable, speaker terminal and amplifier connection are clearly
marked to show their positive (+) and negative (-) polarities. For ideal system performance, always connect the positive side of the cable (marked with a stripe, color and
/or other indicator) to the positive terminals on your speakers and amplifier and the negative side of the cable to the negative terminals.
Amplifier selection is critical to your enjoyment of your new speakers. If you are considering upgrading your current component amplifier or multi-function receiver, we
suggest purchasing as much power as your budget can afford. It will always be preferable to have an affordable high-powered model with fewer “bells and whistles” than
a lower-powered model straining to operate near its power limits. High volume settings that produce audible distortion – indicating an under-powered amplifier – could
eventually damage your speakers and your amplifier.
Begin and end listening sessions at low volume levels so you will not power up your system the next time with possibly harmful high voltages. A damaging surge also could
result if you change the input source (from FM tuner to CD player, for example) at high volume levels. If you suspect that one channel of your amplifier has failed, have it
repaired immediately by your dealer. Damage to your speakers could occur if you switch between the good and defective channels.
