Precautions for placement and use

The operating temperature range of this unit is 5 - 35^
- Do not install this unit in the following types of locations. Doing so could degrade the sound quality and/or cause malfunctions.

Places with significant vibrations

Near windows or other places exposed to direct sunlight

Near heaters or other extremely hot places Extremely cold places

Places with bad ventilation or high humidity

• To enable good heat dissipation, do not place anything on top of the unit.
• Do not place the unit on top of a power amplifier or other device that generates heat.
• If this unit is placed near a power amplifier or other device with a large transformer, it could cause a hum. If this occurs, increase the distance between this unit and the other device.
• This unit could cause color irregularities on a TV screen or noise from a radio if used nearby. If this occurs, use this unit farther away.
• This unit might produce noise if a mobile phone or other wireless device is used nearby to make

calls or send or receive signals. If this occurs, increase the distance between this unit and those devices or turn them off.

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using it.

Cleaning the unit

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol or other chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface or cause discoloration.

Bluetooth® overview

This unit has a built-in Bluetooth audio receiver, allowing it to output the audio playback of a computer or portable audio device that supports Bluetooth.

CAUTION

Operation and connection of this unit's Bluetooth functions with all Bluetooth devices are not guaranteed.

Transmission conditions

This is a Class 2 Bluetooth transmission output device. It has an approximate transmission range of 10m but this distance can vary due to the interference of obstacles and electromagnetic waves.

An obstacle between this unit and another Bluetooth device could interfere with Bluetooth transmission. If this occurs, remove the obstacle. Moreover, the use of a wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave oven in the same operating environment could also interfere with Bluetooth transmission. If this occurs, stop using that equipment or move this unit and the Bluetooth device at least 10m away from it.

Profiles

This unit supports the following Bluetooth profile.

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)

Bluetooth devices must support A2DP in order to transmit audio via Bluetooth.

Even if they have the same Bluetooth profile, however, different Bluetooth devices can have different functions depending on their specifications.

CODECS

This unit supports the following A2DP codecs and automatically selects one of them during audio transmission.

SBC
AAC
- aptX

It will select the appropriate codec to use according to the codec support of the Bluetooth device and transmission conditions.

NOTE

You cannot use buttons, for example, to select the codec.

Due to the nature of Bluetooth wireless technology, playback from this unit will start slightly later than when triggered from the Bluetooth device.

Content protection

This unit supports SCMS-T content protection during audio transmission, enabling the playback of protected audio.

Transmission security

This unit supports security functions during Bluetooth transmission according to the Bluetooth standards, but the invisibility of transmission is not guaranteed.

Our company will take absolutely no responsibility if data is leaked during Bluetooth transmission.

Preparation

Precautions before making connections

• When unpacking the speaker units, do not hold them by their tweeters or woofers.
• Connect signal cables and power cords so that they will not become caught on anything.
• Before turning the built-in amplifier on, minimize the volume of the input signal. Turning it on while inputting a loud signal could damage the speaker.
• Do not continuously use it for a long time at a loud volume. Doing so could harm your hearing.
• Use power cords, power outlets, audio signal cables and connectors that are undamaged and free of wiring shorts and other defects.
• Set the power switch to STANDBY before connecting the power cord.
• Do not input signals other than audio signals.
• Before connecting an audio signal to this unit, confirm that the level of the input signal is minimized and the power switch of the built-in power amplifier is set to STANDBY.
  Always use the correct polarity.

Connections

1. Set the power switch to STANDBY.
2. Connect the included AC adapter (PS-P1524E) to the speaker and then to the power supply.
3. Use the included connection cable (RCA-6.3mm (1 / 4^ ) standard TS jack) to connect the input jack(s) of the active unit to the output device.
4. Use the included speaker cable to connect the output terminal of the active unit to the input terminal of the passive unit.

Installation

Installing speakers correctly is extremely important. The volume of low frequencies will seem to change according to the positions where the speakers are installed. Test various installation positions to find the best places for maximizing the capabilities of the speakers.

• Place the active unit to the left and the passive unit to the right.
• Place the speakers so that they form an equilateral triangle with the listening position.

LEFT: Active unit RIGHT: Passive unit

• Install each speaker so that the top of its woofer is at ear height.

• Do not install speakers near mirrors, glass or other surfaces that reflect sound. Do not place anything between the speakers and the listening position.

Switching the input source

You can select whether the audio this unit outputs is the audio from a line input (RCA pin input jacks or stereo mini input jack) or the audio received by Bluetooth.

Press the Bluetooth PAIRING button to switch between the input sources.
