Precautions for use

•

Do not strike the enclosure

(cabinet) or fro

nt

surface

Saran

Fi

ber with hard

objects. Doing

so

could

cause

scratching or damage the speaker units.

•

Avoid contact with rubber and vinyl for

l

ong

periods

of

time, because

it

could

damage the surface.

•

This product

has

been designed

to

minimize magnetic effects,

but

you

should not

pl

ace

ca

rd

s,

tapes and discs that

use

magnetic recording

or

other

it

ems that

are

easily

affected by magnetic force on

top

of

it.

Failure

to

do

so

could result

in data

loss

or damage.

•

Listen within

an

appropriate

input

level

range

from the amplifier.

Excess

i

ve

input

could

damage the speaker uni

ts.

Moreover, even

if

the input

level

is

less

than the maximum, signals

with a

frequent

clipping,

for

example, will

have a negative impact on the speaker

unit

s.

Please

be

careful

to

prevent distortion

of

the audio at the

amplifier.

Cleaning

•

When the surface becomes dirty,

use

a soft dry

cloth

to

wipe it

clean.

Do

not

wipe

it

with

finemeshed

cleaning cloths, chemical cleaning cloths,

thinner, abrasives or similar materials. Doing

so

could

damage the surf

ace.

•

Use

a

clothing brush or a

similar tool

to

remove dust that sticks

to

the

Saran

Fiber.

Setting

up

the

speakers

Precautions for installation

• Do not install in a location that becomes hot, including places exposed to

direct sunlight or near heating equipment. Doing

so

could cause damage.

• Do not install in a location that becomes humid, including n

ea

r humidifi

ers

.

Moreover,

do

not

install in a location that become smoky. Doing

so

could

cause

damage.

• Do not place obstacles between

the

speakers and

the

listening positi

on

.

Obstacles block

the

direct sound, which can change

the

sound quality.

•

Ideally,

no items

that

reflect sound or resonate should be in

the

nearby

environment.

For

example, gla

ss

doors sometimes resonate.

To

prevent

this, fix

them

securely or

use

thick curtains

or

similar materials

to

absorb

sound.

In addition, parallel walls make

it

easy for standing waves

to

occur,

so

place furniture

to

disrupt parallel surfaces and

use

thick curtains or simi

lar

materials

to

absorb sound.

Speaker placement

•

For

stereo playback,

the

left and right speakers should usually be placed

so

that they form an equilateral or isosceles triangle

with

the listener at

the top corner.

Checking

the

phase

If

the polarities(+/

-)

of

the

left and right speakers do

not

match, they

will

be

o

ut

of

phase and good stereo

playback

sound will

not

be possible.

To

c

he

ck

the

phase,

play

a

mo

no

audio recording that

has

strong

bass

frequen

cies

through one speaker and then both

speakers.

If

the

bass

frequen

ci

es

sound

is w

ea

ker with

both

speakers,

they

are

probably

out

of

pha

se.

If

th

ey

are in phase,

l

ow

-frequency

sound should

be

ri

ch abundant and the

stereo image

should be

placed

in

the

middle

between the

left

and ri

ght

speakers.

If

they

are

out

of

phase,

low

frequencies

will be missing and the

stereo image

will

be

unclear. In

this

case,

check the

polarities

(+/

-)

ofthe

connections between the

speakers

and the

amplifier.

By

reversing

th

e

polarity

for

one

speaker,

the

phase

ca

n

be

corrected.

Spea

ker

cabl

es

are connected

to

the

input

terminals

on the backs of the

sp

eakers. The red

terminal

is

po

sitive (+) and the

black terminal

is

negative

(-).Check the

se

carefully

when making connections.
