■ Using as 2ch stereo speakers
Precautions when positioning the speakers
Note
• Be sure to have another person support it.
• Move the speaker by lifting it from the left and right sides and the bottom.
- Since the polish finish side surfaces are slick, the speaker may slip and fall, causing injuries.
- Touching the speaker drive units at the front may damage them.
- When placing the speaker on the speaker stand, etc., be sure not to pinch your hands or fingers, otherwise injuries
may result.
• Pay extra attention to avoid scratching the speaker's surface.
• Be careful not to apply force to the side of the speaker, otherwise the speaker may fall causing damage to the speaker
or personal injury.
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, affix them to the floor.
• Placing this unit too close to a CRT TV set might impair picture color or create a buzzing noise. In this case, move the
speakers away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs.
Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers
are slightly angled in towards the listener.
y
In rooms with unusual shapes or containing obstacles,
effective stereo playback can be achieved by changing the
positions and orientations of the speakers as necessary or
reversing the positions of the left and right speakers.
The speaker is constructed with the
majority of the weight located in its
upper portion, and is thus
susceptible to falling over if proper
care is not taken to ensure its
stability. If the speaker tips over, the
speaker or other personal property
may be damaged or an individual
may be injured (possibly even
fatally injured).
For safe and proper use of the speaker:
• Position the speaker in a location that is solid, level,
smooth, and low (with respect to the floor).
• Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the speaker
when moving, or lean objects against the side of the
speaker.
• Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker.
Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other
phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over.
For safety reasons, using commercially available products
that increase stability of the speaker is recommended
(metal fittings or chains, etc.).
