[. . . ] € When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume. € Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker). Please maintain the usage environment as follows: Temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C Relative Humidity: 35 % to 65 % (winter) 40 % to 70 % (summer) • In areas of high humidity, use a dehumidifier, and in areas of excessive dryness, use a humidifier to adjust the room’s humidity level. • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight , and do not install in areas nearby heating appliances. [. . . ] Note that depending on the location, the pads may not provide fully sufficient traction to prevent slipping, so care should be taken not to install the speakers in conditions where they may be prone to slide. English Non skid pads 50 cm 20 cm Installing and removing the grille net The front panel grille net may be removed if desired. The following instructions are provided for removal and replacement of the grille net: 1 Holding the lower edge of the grill net with both hands, pull gently forward, away from the speaker. 3 To replace the grille net on the speaker, align the holes on the corners of the grille net with the pegs on the four corners of the speaker and press in slowly. € The most natural stereo experience will be produced when right and left speakers are equidistant from the listening position. Speaker cables should also be the same lengths for right and left speakers. connecting to an amplifier This speaker system features banana-plug connections. € When placed beside a television set, right and left speakers should be installed so far as possible in the same plane as the television screen. € In order to produce optimum breadth of sound when used in conjunction with a television, install the television in the center between the two speakers, and set the speakers at distances from the television such that the angle between the speakers and listener is about 50° to 60°. € In rooms with hard surfaced floors and walls, sound may be reflected off the floor and walls, creating echoes or harmonics. In such cases, it is recommended to adjust the sound characteristics through the use of wall hangings, curtains, or drapes, or by placing a carpet on the floor. Placing curtains all the way to the corners of a room may help prevent speakers from producing muffled sound. Likewise, if the wall opposite the speakers (behind the listening position) is a hard wall, placing a thick curtain on the wall may produce good results by helping prevent the generation of standing waves. 2 Connect each supplied speaker cable to one set of the amplifier’s speaker output terminals and the speaker system’s input terminals. The red terminal is the positive , and the black terminal is negative . Connect the wire with the white line to the terminal, and the wire without the white line to the terminal. 1 Trim a small bit of insulation from the tip of the cable, exposing the wire cores; twist the cores before inserting into the terminal. 3 En 2 Loosen the terminal screw cover, insert the wire core into the hole and retighten the cover. 5 m) × 1 Non skid pads × 1 set Operating Instructions Wire with white line Connect to amplifier’s positive speaker output terminal. Wire without white line Connect to amplifier’s negative speaker output terminal. € After connecting the terminals, lightly tug on the end of the cable to confirm that the connections are tight. € Do not allow wire cores to protrude from the terminals and touch each other. [. . . ] Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting. [. . . ]
