YOUR NEW SPEAKERS
MLT-1 5.1 speakers are magnetically shielded for use near a CRT television or video screen.
Keyhole slots on the rear allow them to be mounted on a wall ( hardware not included ).
Your speakers can also be placed on a bookshelf or desk.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The ‘Watts’ (W) rating indicated on the rear panel is the maximum AC power your subwoofer
will draw when producing its maximum power output. However, the actual wattage draw
will vary with the bass content of the program material.
HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE
Use an appropriate amplifier
. At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can
overdrive your speakers and damage them. On the other hand, if your amplifier isn’t
powerful enough, it can produce clipping distortion that can easily damage high-frequency
drivers.
(See your Dealer.)
Don’t be fooled by your amplifier’s volume control.
It adjusts listening level—it does
not indicate power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if you hear
the bass breaking up, turn the volume down immediately or you will damage your speakers!
This type of damage constitutes abuse and is not covered by warranty!
Tone controls and equalizers
can demand even more power from an amplifier, lowering
the point at which it produces clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not use
them when listening at loud levels.
