Precautions
z
Before powering the subwoofer make sure the operating voltage of the local power supply
is identical to that specified for the subwoofer
z
Ensure that your amplifier is switched off before connecting the speakers
z
Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable to its internal amplifier
z
Make sure you have connected the plus (+) and minus (-) binding posts of each speaker to
the corresponding plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier or receiver
z
Make sure all binding posts are tight, especially if using bare speaker wires
z
Contact b and - wire strands may cause a short-circuit and potentially damage
your equipment
z
Avoid using your amplifier at its power limit especially if it is a low-power design
z
Continuous high power levels can cause distortion
z
Amplifier clipping may cause severe damage to your speakers
z
High-power amplifiers are preferable
z
Do not drive your new speakers with a continuous power output exceeding its maximum
power rating as indicated in this instruction manual for each speaker model
z
Use the best speaker and interconnect cables possible
z
Do not place loudspeakers in dusty or humid environments
z
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
Caution:
Your Plasma speakers are equipped with electronically protected tweeters to avoid overheating
that can lead to tweeter failure.
For even greater protection avoid extremely high volumes that can distort the sound and may
cause severe damage to your amplifier and speakers.
