where the drivers are mounted as this may result in dam-
age to the cone.

necting the power cord to the unit.
– Be sure that the connection is made securely to avoid
accidental disconnection.
– Adjust the input signal levels on your audio device to the
minimum or zero before turning on the power on the rear
panel to prevent possible damage to the unit.
– Do not use the system continuously for long periods of
time at high volume levels to avoid any possible damage
