- Operating Instructions (This manual)

BEFORE USE

• These speakers have a rated impedance of 8 Ω. Use an amplifier that supports speakers with an impedance of 8 Ω.
- In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not input above the permissible input.
• When connecting this unit and other AV devices to an amplifier, turn the amplifier off first.
• When amplifying the treble with a graphic equalizer, do not increase the volume too much.
• Do not output loud volumes through a low output amplifier. (The harmonic distortion of the amplifier will increase, and there is a possibility of damage to the speakers.)

Operating Instructions Speaker System

• Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of time. This can result in a fire hazard.
• Do not install these units near a stove or other heating appliance, or put them in a place exposed to the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down.
• Do not attach the front and center speakers to the wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.
• These speakers are not equipped with magnetic shielding. Do not put items easily affected by magnetism (cards with magnetic tape, etc.) near this unit.
• Some color irregularity or distortion may occur on a cathode ray tube television (CRT television) if you use one near this unit. Separate these speakers further from the television if this occurs.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING STANDARD SURROUND SETUP

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

Front Speakers

For best results the speakers should be separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the speakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.

Center Speaker

The speaker should be positioned below the TV. For best results align the front of the speaker with the front of the TV. If the speaker is placed under the TV and very close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

Do not place the center speaker on top of TV, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

Surround Speakers

For best results the speakers should be positioned at or above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be positioned on the side walls just the rear of the listening position, or on the walls.

NON-SKID PADS

Use the supplied non-skip pads as necessary according to the location chosen for installation. Stick the non-skid pads on the four corners of the surface of the speaker on which it will be installed. There will be locations, however, where there will be little benefit from using the non-skid pads, so avoid putting in slippery places. Put the units on a soft cloth when performing this task.

MAKING AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

Before connecting the speakers, please read the operating instructions supplied with your amplifier to select the speaker setting of amplifier:

• Front speakers: Large
  • Center / surround speakers: Small

CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM

• Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
• You will not get the proper surround effects from the speakers if you connect the poles (+ and −) incorrectly.
  • These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers

Connect the speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers. The poles of the input terminals are red for positive (+) and black for negative (−). Match the colors of the speaker terminals and speaker cables when connecting.

Front speakers:

After loosening the speaker terminals, push the wires into the terminals, then tighten firmly.

Center and surround speakers:

While pushing the tabs of the speaker terminals, push the wires into the terminals.

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the amplifier

Connect the speaker cables to the speaker output terminals on the rear of the amplifier. (For details, refer to the amplifier's instruction manual.)

• After connecting the cord to the terminal, pull the cord gently to make sure the end of the cord is firmly connected to the terminal. Incomplete connection may result in the sound jumping or noise being output.
- To prevent damage to the circuits, ensure that the + and - wires of the speaker cables and the left and right wires do not touch each other. Also take care that the bare wires do not touch the rear panel of the amplifier.

• The mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that suit the wall material and that can sufficiently support the weight of the speakers.
• When you intend to attach to the wall, first ensure that the wall is strong enough to sufficiently support the weight of the speakers.
  • After attaching, check that the fitting is secure. Continue to check that the fitting is secure at regular intervals thereafter.
• If you are unsure of the quality and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.
• We are not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

SECURING THE FRONT SPEAKERS

Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the plastic catch to securely support the speaker to the wall. Also ensure that the wall you are fixing the speaker to is strong enough to sufficiently support the weight of the speaker.

• Do not attach the plastic catches directly to the wall.
  • After attaching, check that the fitting is secure. Continue to check that the fitting is secure at regular intervals thereafter.
• If you are unsure of the quality and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.
  • We are not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

CABINET MAINTENANCE

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these will corrode the surfaces.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
No sound.	Bad speaker cable or connection.Amplifier is off.Volume control is at zero.	Connect correctly or replace cable.Turn on amplifier.Slowly turn up volume.
Sound is distorted.	Extreme signal condition.	Turn down the amplifier's output level (volume, bass control, bass boost) to lower the level.
