Notes on usage
Do not touch the diaphragm of each speaker unit.
The color and appearance (grain patterns) may vary among the enclosures
because natural wood is used. Depending on lighting conditions, the
enclosures may look different, but this does not indicate damage.
Do not put any object or your hand into either of the ducts (upper or
lower) located on the rear of the enclosure.
If there is a foreign object in the duct, do not attempt to take it out by
yourself. Please consult your nearest dealer.
The spikes are made in screw form. Make sure that the spikes are not loose.
If they are loose, tighten them up by turning each spike clockwise.
*1 Before attaching the grille frame, confirm its correct mounting orientation. When
attaching, press above the pin to firmly secure it. If the grille frame is protruding
outward (it will not come off), push it all the way in. Attaching the grille frames is
recommended even when not using the speakers in order to protect them from
damage. The speakers can be enjoyed with the grille frames attached, but
superior performance can be achieved by removing the grille frames. When
removing the grille frame, take care not to bend or distort its shape excessively.
*2 The lower duct on the rear is located slightly to the right of the center.
Precautions
To turn an amplifier or a source component on/off
Set the volume of the amplifier to the minimum.
If the bass cannot be heard or the phonic positions of instruments
are indefinite
Make sure to connect the speaker cords, ma/– to the appropriate
speaker terminals.
Cleaning of the enclosure
Do not use any type of neutral detergent, benzene, or alcohol because
they may damage the surface finish of the enclosure.
To maintain the fine gloss of the enclosure for a long time, gently wipe off
dust using a soft brush or feather duster, and then wipe the enclosure with
the supplied cleaning cloth. (Do not use any type of scrub brush or
sponge.)
Wipe smudges such as fingerprints or oil spots with the supplied cleaning
cloth carefully.
When the smudges are hard to remove, wipe them off with a soft cloth
soaked in soapy water, and wrung dry.
Make sure not to damage the enclosure.
The cleaning cloth is washable and can be used repeatedly.
To avoid damaging the speakers
Do not disassemble or modify the speaker units, network circuits, or the
enclosure.
