Warnings, Cautions and Others
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.
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.
• 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.
Thank you for purchasing a JVC speaker system. Before you

Connection
Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier
• Connect the LEFT speaker terminals of the amplifier to the
terminals of the LEFT speaker and RIGHT to RIGHT and
CENTER to CENTER using the attached speaker cords as
shown in the figure making sure polarity is correct; (+) to (+)
and (–) to (–). Connect the black speaker wire to the (–)
terminal.
• Turn off power to the whole system before connecting the
speakers to the amplifier.
• The nominal impedance of the SX-A305 is 8
Ω
. Select for use
an amplifier to which a speaker system with the load
impedance of 8
Ω
can be connected.
• The maximum power handling capacity of the SX-A305 is
100 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and
possible damage. In cases where the signals described below
are applied to the speakers, even if the signals are below the
maximum allowable input, they may cause an overload and
burn the wiring of the speakers. Be sure to lower the amplifier
volume beforehand.
1) Noise during FM tuning.
2) High level signals containing high frequency components
produced by a tape deck in the fast forward mode.
3) Click noise produced when turning power of other
components on and off.
4) Click noise produced when connecting or disconnecting
cords with the power on.
5) Click noise produced when the cartridge is replaced with
the power on.
6) Click noise produced when operating amplifier switches.
7) Continuous high frequency oscillation or high pitch
electronically produced musical instrument sound.
8) Howling when using a microphones.
