13. UNPLUG this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. REFER all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. DO NOT expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing
and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, are placed on the apparatus.
16. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains,
disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.
17, The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain
readily operable.
A\. The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle, is
ill intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
£. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equi-
lateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical
shock to persons.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
WARNING: No naked flame sources - such as candles - should be
placed on the product.
WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this
equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make
sure that you can easily access the power breaker switch.
WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the
AC Voltages listed on the back panel or included power supply of the
product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated
may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the product's
warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is cautioned because it can
allow the product to be plugged into voltages in which the product
was not designed to operate. If the product is equipped with a
detachable power cord, use only the type provided with your product
or by your local distributor and/or retailer. If you are unsure of the
correct operational voltage, please contact your local distributor
and/or retailer.
PLACEMENT
Before You Start - Some Klipsch speakers have feet and other
accessories that may need to be installed prior to use.
left and Right Main Channel Speakers - For optimum
performance, place your speakers 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5m) apart
and at least 24 inches (60.8cm) from side walls. They may also
be toed-in slightly for better stereo imaging. The listening
position should be approximately 1 to 1.5 times the distance
separating the speakers. Refer to figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 for
connection and placement.
Center Channel Speakers - One of the satellite speakers is
used as the center channel. This speaker is designed to place
dialogue and primary sounds into the room so they seem to
come from the video screen. The center channel should, there-
fore, be placed as closely as possible to the screen-preferably
directly above or below the screen. Refer to figures 2, 3 and 4
for connection and placement.
Surround Channel Speakers- Two satellites are used as surround
speakers. These create the sense of space and ambience that
today's surround sound technologies provide. Surround speakers
can be placed adjacent to, or behind, the listening position. The
surround speaker placement is approximately 6 ft. from the floor.
Refer to figures 2 and 4 for connection and placement. Do not
mount on the ceiling.

CONNECTIONS
Conventional Connection - Using 20-16 gauge speaker wire,
connect the RED "positive" (+) terminal of the LEFT speaker to
the RED "positive" (+) terminal of your amplifier's LEFT chan-
nel. Connect the BLACK "negative" (-) terminal of the LEFT
speaker to the BLACK "negative" (-) terminal of your amplifier's
LEFT channel. Repeat this procedure for connecting all remain-
ing speakers to the appropriate amplifier channels. Refer to
Figure 4. Make sure no bare wires from any of the connections
touch any other bare wires or terminals as this could cause a
short and damage your equipment.
Amplifier Requirements - Klipsch speakers are If\.
highly efficient and will work well with a wide variety ~
of amplifiers. Due to the high output levels Klipsch speakers are
capable of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control.
Excessive volume over long periods of time can permanently
damage your hearing. Overdriving your amplifier could also
damage your speakers. Check with your dealer to make sure
your particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want you
listening for a lifetime.
NOTE: The NV receiver/surround sound processor must be set
to "Subwoofer On" and all speakers set to "small".
The suggested crossover point is 150 Hz. If 150 Hz is not avail-
able, use 120 Hz.
CARE AND CLEANING
Your speakers have a durable finish that should only require dry
dusting. Avoid use of abrasive or solvent-based cleaners and
harsh detergents. The brush attachment of your vacuum or a
damp cloth should remove any dust from your speaker grilles.
