Placement of speakers
The left and right speakers are the same.
Use only the supplied speakers.
You can cause damage to the system and decrease the sound quality if you use other speakers.
Note:
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm ( ") away from the system for proper ventilation.
• Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.
• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not put them near TVs, PCs or other equipment easily
influenced by magnetism.
• When you play at high levels for a long period, it can cause damage to the speakers and decrease the life of
the speakers.
• Decrease the volume in these conditions to prevent damage:
– When the sound is distorted.
– When you adjust the sound quality.
Preparing the remote control
Use alkaline or manganese battery.
Install the battery so that the poles (+ and –) align with those in the remote control.
CAUTION!
• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. If not, you can cause damage to the
amplifier and speakers and can cause a fire. Consult an approved service personnel if damage
occurs or if there is a sudden apparent change in performance.
• Do not modify the speaker or speaker wires as this can cause damage to the system.
