The

speaker

system

Speaker

placement

The

playback

characteristics

of

the

speaker

system(s)

are

greatly

influenced

by

the

placement

and

the

room

in

which

the

speakers

are

used.

For

example,

if

the

speaker

system

is

placed

near

a

hard

wail,

the

bass

will

sound

better

but

the

treble

might

seem

too

strong.

Play

back

some

music

without

using

the

tone

controls

and

move

the

speaker

system

around

to

find

the

best

location.

However,

please

keep

the

following

in

mind.

Place

the

speaker

system:

®@

On

a

flat

and

solid

surface

which

does

not

transmit

too

many

vibrations.

@

Ina

place

that

is

well

ventilated,

and

not

very

humid.

@

Away

from

direct

sunlight

and

heat

sources

(stoves,

etc.).

@

Away

from

your

turntable

and

TV.

To

prevent

damage

to

the

speaker

system

@

Do

not

raise

the

volume

too

high.

@

Turn

off

the

amplifier

when

changing

or

connecting

the

player

system’s

cartridge.

@

Lower

the

volume

when

changing

radio

stations

and

when

cueing

or

reviewing

tapes.

@

Do

not

touch

the

speakers’

diaphragms.

How

to

clean

the

speaker

system(s)

®

Clean

the

speaker

system(s)

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

@

If

itis

very

dirty,

use

a

mild

detergent.

®

To

protect

the

diaphragms

(the

vibrating

parts),

do

not

spray

liquid

cleaner

directly

on

the

speaker

system.

Always

spray

it

on

a

cloth

first.

@

Never

use

alcohol,

paint

thinner

or

a

spray-type

insecticide

near

the

speaker

system,

as

this

will

damage

the

finish.

After

all

connections

have

been

made

Connect

the

power

cords

to

an

optional

audio

timer

or

directly

to

your

household

AC

outlets.

Important

The

illustrated

power

plugs

and

cords

are

intended

for

general

reference.

The

power

plug

and

used

in

your

country

may

differ

from

the

illustrations.
