View from the bottom of the speaker Back (L) (R) (R) (L) Front Use the 8 specified holes located on the base of the speaker. Procedure: 1 Put the 6mm screw through the large hole on the stand, and screw it into the speaker at one of the outside holes on the base of the speaker. At this time, screw it untightly so that the stand can still be moved. 2 Put the 4mm wood screw through the other hole on the stand, and screw it into the other hole on the base of the speaker. 3 Tighten both of the screws firmly. 4 Attach a pad to the bottom of the end portion of the stand. 5 Attach the other stands to the other corners of the base of the speaker in the same way and confirm that all 4 stands have been firmly attached. 2 1 Note Be carefull not to apply force to the side of the speaker, otherwise the speaker may fall causing damage to the speaker or personal injury. CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER This speaker system is capable of standard connections and bi-wired connections. Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off. English SPEAKERS A B LR ++ – – + – NS-515FNS-515F Speakers output terminals of the amplifier Leave the short bars in place when connecting. Short bar Amplifier or Receiver Loosen Tighten (L)(R) CONNECTIONS • Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) with the speaker cable. • Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver) and the speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable. • 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. How to connect: 1 Loosen the knob. 2 Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the coating off. 3 Insert the bare wire. 4 Tighten the knob and secure the cables. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cables at the terminal. Note Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both of them.

Mid-woofer/woofer terminals Tweeter terminals Both SPEAKERS A and B should be selected. ++ – – SPEAKERS LR SPEAKERS A B LR ++ – – + – Bi-Wired Connections This speaker system is capable of bi-wired connections. To connect the speaker to the output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver), two pairs of cables for each of mid-woofer/woofer and tweeter 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. Consequently, purer sound quality can be expected. To utilize bi-wired connections, remove the short bars from the terminals first, and then connect the mid-woofer/woofer and tweeter to the amplifier separately using two pairs of cables. PLACING THE SPEAKERS Using as 2ch stereo speakers Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are slightly angled in towards the listeners. Using as main speakers in a multi channel system Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning of speakers is important, because it controls the whole sound quality of a multi channel system. Set up the speakers on the basis of your listening position by following the owner’s manual supplied with your amplifier.

Should this happen, move the speaker away from the TV set. REMOVING THE FRONT COVER The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at six points and can be removed if desired. To remove the cover, hold on to both sides and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To reattach, line up the six holes on the inner surface of the cover with the six corresponding pegs on the speaker and push gently. Note When the cover is removed, take care not to touch the speaker units with your hands or to exert excessive force with tools.
