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 should become dirty.
If very dirty, wipe with a cloth applied a small amount of water or neutral detergent,
then wipe with a dry cloth.
– Do not use chemicals such as benzine and thinner for cleaning the cabinet;
otherwise, the speakers may deteriorate or its paint may come off.
• To improve the sound field
– It is recommended to leave a space of more than 50 cm between the speakers and
the wall.
– 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.
