●
Handling and maintenance
• When using a high-impedance speaker connection, make sure the audio
signal is passed through an 80 Hz or above high-pass filter before being
input to the speakers.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, or near a heater), in order to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the
internal components.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might
discolor the panel.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in
ambient temperature—when the device is moved from one location to
another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device
while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to
believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several
hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely
dried out.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance, particularly when
connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the
amplifier’s rated range can damage the amplifier.
• Protection Circuit
This speaker system has an internal protection circuit that shuts off the
speaker unit when an excessive input signal is applied. If the speaker unit
emits no sound, reduce the volume level of the amplifier immediately. The
sound will return automatically in several seconds.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and often occurs when the
speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.
• Do not place the speaker face down with the grille attached, as deformation
of the grille may result.
• When placing the speaker face down, always place it on a flat surface.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit.
• Do not swing the speaker by its carrying band.
