[. . . ] This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit. This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within this unit. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING THE SPEAKER NOTE: Although this loudspeaker can be unpacked and set up by a single person, a helper will make the job easier, not to mention safer, for speaker and owner alike. [. . . ] Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are exposed, then insert the bare wire through the holes. Screw the nuts down finger-tight on the wire. Make sure that no strands of wire are touching from one binding post to the other or to any strands from the other conductor. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. Many pre-made speaker cables are terminated with metal pins. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are exposed, then insert the pins through the holes. Screw the nuts down finger-tight on the pins -- do not overtighten. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two pins or binding posts. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. Some speaker cables are terminated with U-shaped connectors called spade lugs. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts and slip the spade lugs around the metal posts. Screw the nuts down finger-tight on the lugs and inspect to ensure they have remained firmly in place. Make sure that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs or binding posts. Failure to observe this precaution at either end of the connection can result in amplifier malfunction or damage. It convenient to make the distance from the listening position to the line between the speakers somewhat larger or smaller, but try to keep it centered, so that you are at approximately the same distance from each speaker. Angling widely spread speakers in slightly toward the listening position can help maintain a good stereo image. Stereo Setup for Wide Coverage - If you are primarily interested in being able to hear the sound well from any position in the room rather than from a particular seating area, you may prefer to move the speakers far apart along adjoining walls, creating a big "L. "This will not provide a very good stereo image, but it will give spacious, well-balanced sound with good coverage. Home Theater System - Figure 3 shows a typical home theater speaker setup, with a pair of floorstanding speakers at the front left and right, a horizontal center-channel speaker between them, and a pair of surround speakers on the side walls. The basic strategy for placing the front left and right speakers is similar to the one described above for a two-channel stereo system, but anchored by the video screen. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be approximately in line with the screen and equidistant from it. Unless your video screen is very large, you may prefer less spread between the left and right speakers than in a dedicated stereo music system.
