Connection
• Turn the sound volume to the minimum and disconnect the
power cord to the amplifier before connecting the speaker
cables.
• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 5 Ω. Use
only amplifiers capable of handling this impedance.
• Use the speaker cables to connect between speaker’s
terminals and the amplifier’s speaker terminals as illus-
trated below.
• Connect the terminals of the Right and Left speakers
(when viewed from the front side) with the amplifier’s right
(R) and left (L) speaker terminals, respectively.
Before turning on the amplifier’s power switch:
• Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker
cables do not contact each other. Otherwise, a short-
circuit may occur, causing damage to the amplifier.
• Be sure to connect the speaker cables with correct polarity
(connect the speaker’s positive (+) and negative (–) termi-
nals with the amplifier’s corresponding speaker termi-
nals). Reversed polarity results in impaired bass-range
reproduction, causing mislocalization of the sound image.
Also, be sure to connect the Right and Left speakers with
the amplifier’s corresponding speaker terminals.
• Pull lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are
connected firmly.
Before using this unit
• The speaker cabinet is made of wood and is therefore
sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid
placing the speaker systems in locations subjected to
direct sunlight, or in smoky or in humid places, such as
near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
Doing so may result in damage to the speaker.
• Place the unit on a rigid, level surface. Placing it on a
slanted surface or weak base not only may cause the unit
to fall, but also results in decreased sound quality.
• Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If water is
spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also the speakers
themselves may be damaged.
Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles
This speaker system uses detachable grilles. Use the follow-
ing method to attach or detach the grilles.
1. While holding the bottom edge of the speaker grille with
your both hands, pull it gently toward you to remove the
bottom of the grille.
2. In the same way, gently pull the upper edge of the speaker
grille toward you to remove it from the main unit.
3. To attach the grill, push the projections at the four corners
into the grille plug holes on the speaker cabinet.
