Notes
• Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose
area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker.
If placed, the speaker may fall and cause injury.
• Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with an
inclination.
• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV
may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing
noise. In this case, move the speakers at least
20 cm (8”) away from the TV. This is not an issue
with LCD and plasma TVs.
