• To improve the sound field
If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass
door, etc., it is recommended to furnish the wall
with materials that absorb sounds, for example
by hanging up thick curtains, to prevent
reflections and standing waves.
• To use the speakers without any trouble
– Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they
are distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged
by internal heat buildup.
– When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or
injury.
– When holding a satellite speaker, do not grasp the
speaker (upper) portion, but always grasp the leg (lower)
portion of the satellite speaker.

Precautions for installation
• Do not install the speakers on an uneven surface or in a
place subject to vibration; otherwise, they may fall over,
causing damage or injury.
– Take the occurrence of earthquakes or other
physical shocks into consideration when
selecting the installation place, and secure
the speakers thoroughly.
• To prevent deformation or discoloration of the
cabinet, do not install the speakers where they
are exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity,
and avoid installation near air conditioning
outlets.
• Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place
the speakers as far away from the player as
possible.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may
cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following
when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the
TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers
further away from the TV.
• Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if a speaker is
installed near the tuner. In this case, leave more distance
between the tuner and the speakers or use an outdoor
antenna for better tuner reception without interference from
the speakers.

Precautions for Daily Use
• To maintain the appearance of the speakers
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet or control panel
should become dirty.
If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or neutral
detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry
cloth.
