[. . . ] Please be cautioned that even though the stands are connected, this does not guarantee that the speakers will not fall over. 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. Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over. [. . . ] q Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the (­) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable. q Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, ­). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. 10 mm (3/8") insulation from the speaker cable and insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal hole. Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the cable at the terminal. Note Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier. q Bi-Wiring Connections This speaker system is capable of bi-wiring connections. To connect the speakers to the output terminals of the amplifier, two pairs of cables for each of woofer and tweeter are used instead of standard connections. This type of connection decreases the modulation distortion caused by electric resistance of the cables and driving current of the speakers. To utilize bi-wiring connections, remove the short bars from the terminals first, and then connect the woofer and tweeter to the amplifier separately using two pairs of cables. Note For bi-wiring connections, use the same type of cable for both the woofer and tweeter, making sure to match the polarity. 4 English PLACING THE SPEAKERS s Using as 2ch stereo speakers Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are slightly angled in towards the listeners.
