Dear "Arylic" Customer
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing "Arylic"
You have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by "Arylic" are
renowned all over the world.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new
loudspeakers.
FITTING THE FEET (BK501 AND BK651)
The(4) feet included in the delivery package must be fitted to the loudspeaker before use. To do
this, place the speakers on a clean, stable base with the bottom facing upwards. It is better not
to remove the protective bag until after fitting has been completed so as to avoid damage to the
surface.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR "Arylic" BK501 AND BK651
LOUDSPEAKERS
Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer.To
prevent impairment of sound quality, we recommend cables with cross-sections of at least 2.5
mm2 for lengths up to 3 m and at least 4 mm2 for lengths above 3 m. Always turn off the
amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables. Place the
loudspeakers in their planned positions and cut the cables to the right length. The cables for
both channels should always be exactly the same length. Strip 10-15 mm of insulation from the
ends of the cables. Twist the ends-this is much better than tinning them with solder-insert them
in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws firmly. For good sound it is imperative that the
cables must be connected in such a way that the speakers are "in phase". This means that the
black negative terminals on the speakers ( - )must be connected to the negative( - )terminals on
the amplifier,the red positive ( + )speaker terminals to the positive ( + )amplifier terminals. To
make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in
the insulation. Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make
sure that the terminal screws are tight and that there are no short circuits caused by stray wire
filaments-this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!
THE "Arylic" BK501 AND BK651 LOUDSPEAKERS IN STEREO MODE
In the ideal configuration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral
triangle. When the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their
sound arrives at the same time,resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction.
There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Any
sound- absorbing or reflecting obstacles in the path will distort the sound. When you install the
loudspeakers the following distances should be maintained: BK501 BK651 floorstanders: at
least 20 cm away from the rear wall and at least 30 cm from the sidewalls. This will prevent
excessive emphasis of the bass range. BK501 BK651 bookshelf speakers: shelf loudspeakers
should also be as free-standing as possible. the distance to the sides and rear to walls and
items should be at least 10 cm, the tweeters should be located at ear height.

"Arylic" BK501 BK651 LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER
The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the
television as possible.The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left
and right besides or better behind the listening position.

instructions.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS
All "Arylic" T loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone
controls in the central position-i.e.with "linear"amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble
controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this
can actually destroy the speaker units！
If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of
your speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn't
actually happen
THE SOUND YOU CAN'T HEAR...
Amplifiers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals-and this
doesn't only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should
have a qualified technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.
MAINTENANCE
The surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use furniture polish or
similar products.

CAUTIONS:
1.Our BK501 BK651 bookshelf speakers can only be used in living room and moderate climate,
please do not install and use in moist room or in tropical climate. Do not splash water or drip
water on it. Also, do not put any container with liquid on top of the bookshelf speakers, for
example flower vase.
2.Despite all protective measures, in some cases, massive overloading of speakers due to high
volume levels can cause individual components or speakers to melt down. Overloading could
even theoretically cause a fire inside the speaker; therefore, it is advisable to monitor it when
operating it in such cases.
3.If a faulty protective measure is accessible from the outside, it must only be replaced by a
protective measure of the same type.
4.When using the device at high volume for a long time, the temperature of the rear radiator may
rise above 60°C, so please always avoid touching it while it is active.

5.When operating the bookshelf speakers, never place the panel housing the switches, controls
and input and output sockets facing down as this may cause the unit to overheat. Please ensure
there is at least 5 cm distance around the device to ensure adequate ventilation. The woofer,
bass reflex holes, and possible ventilation holes must not be covered by newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc.
6.Never put your hand, arm, or any object into the low frequency reflex hole, doing so may result
in personal injury or property damage. Particularly dangerous for children and pets.
7.Only qualified service engineer is allowed to perform technical maintenance and repairs on the
Active Loudspeaker. This requirement is necessary in case of any kind of damage, such as
damage to the power cord and plug, or if something falls onto the speaker cabinet, or the unit
itself is dropped, or penetrated by any type of liquid. Never open the device yourself, as any
physical contact with mains voltage (230V/115V) could be fatal.
8.Never use powered speakers as a seat or climb/stand on them (instead of using a ladder)
9.Your speaker unit is designed for home use and should not be used for professional purposes.
10.For the installation and positioning of these products, use only furniture and other equipment
that is available from the manufacturer that is sold with or used with the product. Use extreme
caution when moving any tabletop equipment or shelf that has the product on it, the product may
tip over and fall, causing damage or injury.
11.Avoid placing the speaker in places with high humidity. Permanent relative humidity or
exposure to direct sunlight (UV radiation) can warp wooden speaker enclosures or cause them
to age prematurely, affecting the performance of the unit. Also, do not place the bookshelf
speakers directly near a heat source, such as a radiator. Also, do not place flame source, such as
lighted candles, on the speakers.
12.Our accessories may only be used to mount our products specifically designed for wall
mounting. Please take extra care to ensure all components are securely screwed into place! We
also recommend using other protective measures such as chains to ensure a safe and secure
installation.
13.Speakers running at excessively high volume for a long time will not only become a source of
uneasiness to neighbors , and also have serious health-related consequences for users!
14.Speakers that are not magnetically shielded can cause discoloration or distortion of the TV
picture. To avoid this, place unshielded speakers at least 50 cm away from the TV. Please avoid
putting credit cards, floppy disks, audio or video tapes, or any other form of magnetic data carrier
on the speaker cabinet, as doing so may result in the loss of data stored on such items. Likewise,
do not place and operate tape devices in the immediate vicinity of such speakers.
15.Please do not throw away the packaging, as you may be needed to transport the speaker
system at a later time. Keep polyethylene bag out of the reach of children as it may cause
suffocation if used for any purpose other than its intended purpose.
