PRECAUTIONS WHEN POSITIONING The speaker is constructed with the majority of the weight located in its upper portion, and is thus susceptible to falling over if proper care is not taken to insure its stability. If the speaker falls over, it may damage the speaker or be the cause of injury (or even death) to persons and/or damage to personal property. 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. • Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker. • Do not remove the stands attached to the bottom of the speaker as this might cause the serious accidents, resulting from falling over of the speaker. Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over. For safety reasons, using commercially available products that increase stability in the speaker is recommended (metal fittings or chains, etc.). ATTACHING THE SPIKES Nut x 4 Spike x 4 When setting up the speakers on a thick carpet, use the spikes to increase stability and improve sound quality. Attach the spikes at four points on the speaker properly by following the procedure below. 12 Procedure: 1 Turn the nut close to the tip of the spike. 2 Screw the spikes into the hole of the stands. 3 Place the speaker in the desired location in an upright position and adjust the length of the spike to match the depth of the carpet. 4 When adjustment is finished, turn the nut up to the base of the stand firmly. Notes . The tips of the spikes may scratch or otherwise damage the flooring. Please be careful when positioning the speakers. . If force is applied to the side of the speaker, it may fall and damage the speaker or cause personal injury. Please be careful. 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.
