General Information
Caution: The XR100 weight is 68.5 pounds (31.1
kg). It requires two or more persons to
safely handle the Loudspeaker System.
1. For additional connection information, refer to the
owner's manual(s) for any component(s) connected
to the XR100 Loudspeaker.
2. The design of the XR100 Loudspeaker took into
account the acoustic characteristics of the Front
Panel Grille and it should be attached to the Loud-
speaker for the best sonic performance.
3. If there is an obvious lack of high, mid or low
frequencies after extended periods of overdrive,
the Protection Device(s) may have activated. These
devices will automatically reset when the volume
level is greatly reduced until the output of the af-
fected Loudspeaker Driver(s) returns to normal.
4. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules
or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown
away or incinerated but disposed of in
accordance with the local regulations
concerning battery disposal.
