■Using as front speakers in a multi channel system

Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning of speakers is important, since this dictates the overall sound quality of the multi channel system. Set up the speakers on the basis of your listening position by following the owner's manual supplied with your amplifier.

■Using as presence or surround speakers

Mount the speakers on a wall or place the speakers on a shelf. Determine the best position by following the owner's manual supplied with your amplifier.

Notes

- Placing this unit too close to a TV set might impair picture color or create a buzzing noise. Should this happen, move the speaker away (more than 20 cm (7-7/8")) from the TV set.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the floor.

■To mount the speaker on a wall by using the attached mounting bracket

Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in the figure, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws. By setting the two supplied bass control plugs into the ports on the rear of the speaker, the tone and volume balance of the low bass sound produced between the port and the wall will be optimized.

* Make sure that the screws are securely in the narrow sections of the holes.

Loosen Tighten Black (−) Red (+) Bare wire Insulation coating NS-B700 NS-B700 SPEAKERS Speakers output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) Amplifier or Receiver

• Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) with the speaker cable.
• Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver) to the (+) terminal of each speaker, making sure to confirm the color-coded wire of the cable at each end. Use the other wire of the cable to connect the (-) terminals of the components.
• Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, -). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

■How to connect

1 Loosen the knob.
2 Remove 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from each end of the cables, and twist the exposed conductors together neatly and tightly, as shown below.

3 Insert the bare wire.
4 Tighten the knob and secure the cables. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cables at the terminal.

Notes

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both.
• Do not insert the insulation into the hole. Sound may not be produced.
