[. . . ] 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. Use the stands included with the speakers to increase stability: q Stands Be sure to use the stands regardless of where the speakers are positioned. Attaching the stands included with the speakers reinforces the base of the speaker not to fall over. [. . . ] Please be careful. q 3 CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER This speaker system is capable of standard connections and bi-wiring connections. Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off. <Standard Connections> Leave the short bars in place when connecting. <Bi-Wiring Connections> Remove the short bars before connecting.

Connect the (­) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable. q Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, ­). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. 10 mm (3/8") insulation from the speaker cable and insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal hole. Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the cable at the terminal. Note Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier. q Bi-Wiring Connections This speaker system is capable of bi-wiring connections. To connect the speakers to the output terminals of the amplifier, two pairs of cables for each of woofer and tweeter are used instead of standard connections. This type of connection decreases the modulation distortion caused by electric resistance of the cables and driving current of the speakers. Consequently, purer sound quality can be expected. To utilize bi-wiring connections, remove the short bars from the terminals first, and then connect the woofer and tweeter to the amplifier separately using two pairs of cables. Note For bi-wiring connections, use the same type of cable for both the woofer and tweeter, making sure to match the polarity. 4 English PLACING THE SPEAKERS s Using as 2ch stereo speakers Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are slightly angled in towards the listeners.
