User manual DALI MOTIF

[. . . ] For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. Heat - the appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat. 11 Power cord protection - power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from appliance. [. . . ] Before setting up and connecting your new DALI MOTIF LCR loudspeakers, you should find the best possible placement relative to your listening position. It is a good idea to follow these simple guidelines: - Ideally, the DALI MOTIF LCR speakers should be placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with the (left and right stereo) speakers minimum 1, 5 meters (60") apart to achieve good stereo separation. - Avoid placing objects between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Before connecting or disconnecting any cables, always turn off the amplifier to avoid electrical shock or damage to your equipment. Always make sure the terminals are screwed down tight. Always use cables of the same type and length for left and right channels. We recommend using special speaker cables from DALI, available from your dealer. If you are using DALI MOTIF LCR in a surround system, follow the instructions included with your surround amplifier, as even a single loudspeaker connected out-of-phase will make the bass weaker and the soundstage unfocused. Make sure that the bare conductors are tightly gripped by the terminals with no loose wires that could cause a short circuit and damage the amplifier. The DALI MOTIF LCR can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, using the supplied Click'n Connect wall-mount. The DALI logo on the front grill can be turned sideways according to the orientation of your MOTIF LCR. Simply press and release the spring-loaded DALI logo, turn it in the direction you want and repress. As a means of theft prevention, your DALI MOTIF LCR can be further secured to the Click'n Connect wall-mount. 5 mm Allen key, turn the Allen screw on the spring-loaded button clockwise. This will lock the button and prevent the DALI MOTIF LCR from being disconnected from the Click'n Connect wall-mount. Using the enclosed mounting template, carefully mark the four screw positions on the mounting surface. To ensure an aesthetically pleasing result, we recommend that you use a spirit level to ensure that the Click'n Connect is mounted absolutely level. After the speaker cables have been properly attached, screw in the four screws in the pre-drilled keyholes and tighten them - use rawlplugs if neccessary. [. . . ] For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal. By doing so, you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health. We recommend that you use a high quality amplifier or surround receiver with DALI MOTIF LCR, as the quality of the reproduced sound will benefit from it. [. . . ]
