• Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting
the speaker system. Connecting it while the amplifier
is on may result in damage to the amplifier or the
speaker system.
• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8
Ω
.
Use only amplifiers capable of handling this imped-
ance.
• Use the supplied speaker cables to connect between
the speaker’s input terminals and the amplifier’s
speaker terminals as illustrated below.
• Be sure to connect the Center, Surround Right and
Left speakers with the amplifier’s corresponding
speaker terminals. Also, be sure that you are connect-
ing the speaker’s positive (+) and negative (–) input
terminals with the amplifier’s corresponding positive
and negative speaker terminals. Otherwise, undesir-
able sound field or impaired bass-range reproduction
will result.
• Before turning on the amplifier’s power switch, pull
lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are
connected securely.
• To prevent damage to cir-
cuitry, never short-circuit the
positive (+) and negative (–)
speaker wire.
The surround speaker bottom and rear are equipped
with screw holes so that you can attach commercially-
available stands or mounting fixtures for a variety of
mounting options. (Two M5 screw holes, 60 mm pitch
on the bottom and one M5 screw hole on the rear.)
Note:
When attaching an
accessory item to a
speaker, be careful
of the length of the
screws used. Use
only screws that
provide the required strength with a screw length
between 7 and 12 mm.
• This speaker system can handle the specified input
power when it is used for ordinary music reproduc-
tion. If the following abnormal signals are fed to the
speaker, however, an overcurrent may flow in the
internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of the
wires even if the input power is below the specified
rating.
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette
tape deck
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator,
an electronic musical instruments, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifier signals
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking
CD, etc.
6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnect-
ing audio connection cables (Always turn off the
amplifier’s power before connecting or discon-
necting cables.)
7. Howling when a microphone is used
• Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers
and iron parts near the speaker system since they use
speakers with strong magnets. Otherwise, the objects
may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the dia-
phragm.

1. Strip the insulation of speaker
cables, and twist the core wires
tightly.
2. While pressing the lever, insert
the wire into the hole, and then
release the lever.
3. Make sure that the terminals
are gripping the core wires, not
the insulation.
