Handling and Maintenance
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor
the cabinet.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient
temperature-when the device is moved from one location to another, or air
conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is
present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might
have occurred, leave the device for several hours until the condensation has
completely dried out.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance (see SPECIFICATIONS),
particularly when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load
outside the amplifier’s rated range can damage the amplifier.
• When connecting the speakers with high impedance, be sure that the output total of
each speaker does not exceed the rated output of the power amplifier.
• ABOUT THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
This speaker system has an internal protection circuit that shuts off the speaker unit
when an excessive input signal is applied.
If the speaker unit emits no sound, reduce the volume level of the amplifier
immediately.
The sound will return automatically in several seconds.
• Place the speaker on a flat and smooth surface.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER
When installing the speaker on the floor, attach the rubber spacers to the
underside of the speaker to provide support. Affix the rubber spacers firmly
when you attach them.
When installing the speaker on a wall or ceiling, use the included brackets
or optional U-bracket UB-DXR8. Ensure that the wall/ceiling is sufficiently
strong.
This package does not include the mounting hardware to install the
included brackets/safety wire or the UB-DXR8. If you are not sure what
materials are required for installation, consult a specialist.
An installed speaker is shown below. Install the bracket as shown.
WARNING
• Do not use the included brackets for ceiling installation.

Pre-installation (Preparation of the cable)
Use stranded wire for cables attached to the Euroblock connector. Strip
their insulation as shown in the figure and connect them.
NOTE
Do not plate stranded wires by solder. Doing so will cause the wire to break.
Connect the cable from the amplifier to the “INPUT” socket, and the cable
being connected to other speakers to the “SATELLITE SPEAKERS”
socket.
A signal input to CH1 of INPUT is output from ST1 of SATELLITE
SPEAKERS, and signal input to CH2 of INPUT is output from ST2 of
SATELLITE SPEAKERS.
For VXS10ST/VXS10STW, connect the included 5-pin Euroblock
connector as shown below and set the appropriate wattage when using
100 V/70 V line.
