Precautions
Before connecting:
• Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·) when connecting the
speaker cords.
• Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the speaker
system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
• The impedance of each speaker is 6 Ω.
If this does not match with the speaker impedance range indicated on
the amplifier, you cannot connect this system to the amplifier.
• The maximum power handling capacity of the SP-XE5 is 50 W.
Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage.
Daily operations and maintenance:
• Be sure to turn down the volume level on the amplifier to prevent
unwanted noise before performing following operations:
– Turning on or off other components
– Operating the amplifier
– Tuning FM stations
– Fast-forwarding a tape
– Continuously reproducing high frequency oscillation or high pitch
electronic sounds
– Connecting or disconnecting a microphone
• When using a microphone, do not aim it at the speakers or use it near
the speakers; otherwise, the howling which occurs may damage the
speakers.
• Before replacing the cartridge, always turn off the power both to the
amplifier and to the turntable; otherwise, the clicking noise may
damage the speakers.
Caution
When installing the satellite speakers on the wall;
• Be sure to have them installed on the wall by a qualified personnel.
DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid
unexpected damage from their falling off the wall due to incorrect
installation or weakness in wall structure.
• Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a
wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result if the
speakers installed interfere with daily activities.
Speaker for A/V combination
SP-XE5 has a magnetically-shielded design for placement adjacent to
TVs and monitors without causing color aberrations. However, color may
be affected as a result of how the speaker system is installed. Therefore,
be careful of the following:
1. When placing these speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV's main
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.
Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before turning on
the TV's power.
2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that
system may cause color unevenness in the TV's picture.
3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some types of TVs
may be affected by them. If this happens, move the speakers a short
distance from the TV set.
