Precaution on use
This speaker system can handle the specified input power
when it is used for ordinary music reproduction. If the
following abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however,
an overcurrent may flow in the internal circuits, causing
burning or breakage of the wires even if the input power is
below the specified rating.
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette tape
deck
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator, an
electronic musical instruments, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifier signals
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.
6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting
audio connection cables (Always turn off the amplifier's

Connections
Turn the sound volume to the minimum and disconnect the
power cord to the amplifier before connecting the speaker
cables.
The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 . Use
only amplifiers capable of handling this impedance.
Use the supplied speaker cables to connect between the
speaker's input terminals and the amplifier's speaker
terminals as illustrated below.
Be sure to connect the Right and Left surround speakers
with the amplifier's corresponding speaker terminals. Also,
be sure that you are connecting the speaker's positive (+)
and negative (–) input terminals with the amplifier's corre-
sponding positive and negative speaker terminals.
Otherwise, undesirable sound field or impaired bass-range
reproduction will result.
Before turning on the amplifier's power switch, pull lightly on
the speaker cables to ensure that they are connected
securely.

Use with a TV set
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets are
extremely sensitive and can be affected even by the magnetism
of the earth. If a speaker system is used near them, therefore,
discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use
with color television sets, etc., the SKC-101 Center Speaker
system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discolora-
tion may still result, depending on the installation environment. If
discoloration occurs, turn off the television set, wait 15 to 30
minutes, and then turn it on again. This activates the self-
demagnetizing function of the television set, improving display
quality. If discoloration persists even after performing this
remedy, move the speaker further from the television set.
Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other
magnetized object is near the television because of the com-
bined effect.
