LISTENING LEVELS AND POWER HANDLING

The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the amplifier in a way that
will not produce distortion. All speakers can be damaged by a modest amplifier that is
producing distortion. If you hear a gritty noise or other signs of strain, turn down the volume.
Prolonged or repeated operation of your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage
that is not covered by the warranty.

When turning on the system from a remote location, it is hard to judge how loud the speakers
are being driven. Be careful not to overdrive the system.

If it sounds strained, turn it down!

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SPEAKERS

Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild detergent. The cloth should be just
damp enough to wipe the surface clean without leaving a trail of moisture.
Alternatively, vacuum the grille and frame with a vacuum cleaner and brush attachment.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or any cleaner containing chemicals harsher than those found
in glass cleaner.
