Before UsingYour New Speakers
Speaker System
• The speaker cabinets are made out of
wood and are therefore sensitive to
extreme temperatures and humidity.
Do not use them in locations subject to
direct sunlight or in humid places,
such as near an air conditioner, humid-
ifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

• Place the speakers on sturdy, flat sur-
faces. Putting them on uneven or
unstable surfaces where they may fall
and cause damage will affect the
sound quality.
• Do not keep water or other liquids
close to the speakers. If a liquid is
spilled over them, the woofer and
tweeter inside may be damaged.
• Do not handle the speakers with wet or
damp hands.

Connecting the Speakers
Speaker Placement
• Before connecting the speakers, disconnect your
amplifier’s power cord from the wall outlet and set its
volume control to minimum.
• The speaker’s rated impedance is 4Ω. Make sure you con-
nect an amplifier that is compatible with a 4Ω impedance.
The sound quality of the speakers is directly affected by
the size and shape of the room they’re used in and its
furnishings. When considering where to place your
speakers, read the following:
• Where possible, mount the speakers on speaker
stands, concrete blocks, bricks, or a sturdy bookshelf.
Putting them directly on the floor will emphasize bass
sounds, creating a boomy sound.
• Use the supplied speaker cables to connect the speak-
ers to your amplifier as shown.
• If a speaker is placed on an uneven surface where it
can wobble or vibrate, bass performance will be
adversely affected.You can eliminate speaker wobble
by putting a shim made out of cork or metal, such as a
coin, underneath the speaker or stand, as shown.

• If you mount the speakers on a flat surface, such as a
bookshelf, you can improve the sound quality by
inserting cork spacers or coins in between the speaker
and the shelf. Raising them off the surface like this
will reduce the contact area and improve the sound.

• If you like lots of bass, mount the speakers on low
speaker stands and place them in front of a solid wall.
Speaker cable
• Walls and furnishings affect sound quality. To achieve
a good stereo sound, put the left and right speakers in
similar locations at the same distance away from your
listening position and at the same height. If you put
them in totally different locations, for example, one
on the floor and the other on a bookshelf, the stereo
imaging will be adversely affected.
• To determine the best positions for your speakers,
imagine an equilateral triangle and put the left and
right speakers at the ends of the base. The ideal listen-
ing position is at or slightly behind the triangle’s
apex. Angle the speakers toward your listening posi-
tion.
The type of speaker terminals used on the receiver and
their position depends on the model. Refer to the
receiver’s instruction manual for details on connecting
speakers to the receiver.
• Glass doors and smooth walls behind the listening
position can reflect the sound from the speakers and
can make sounds at certain frequencies louder. You
can prevent this by hanging sound-absorbing mate-
rial, such as thick curtain, on the door or wall.
Before Turning on Your Receiver:
• Make sure the speaker’s positive (+) terminals are
connected to the amplifier’s positive (+) terminals,
and the speaker’s negative (–) terminals are con-
nected to the amplifier’s negative (–) terminals. If you
get the polarity reversed, the sound will be unnatural,
with a limited bass range and poor stereo image.
• Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) wires
are not touching each other. If they are, a short circuit
may occur, damaging your amplifier.

• Please note that the speakers’ surface features a spe-
cial finish. An object placed on the speakers for a
long period of time may leave a trace or mark. Adhe-
sive tape may also leave a mark.

To maintain the appearance of the speakers, you should
periodically wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Stubborn
stains can be removed by using a soft cloth dampened
with water and a mild detergent. Dry the speakers
immediately afterward with a clean, dry cloth. Do not
use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical
solvents that may damage the finish.

From time to time you should wipe off the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier
dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild
detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the
dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these may damage the
finish or remove the panel lettering.

To maintain the appearance, use a commercially avail-
able piano cleaner designed for glossy surfaces. This
will cleanly remove finger marks and smudges, restor-
ing the beautiful luster of the surface. This will also
make it more difficult for dust and finger marks to
adhere, allowing you to easily remove them with a dry
cloth if they should occur.
