Installation and connections

How to install

A speaker’s playback sound is delicately influenced by

conditions in the listening room. To produce optimum listening

conditions, take due consideration of the conditions of your

installation location before beginning actual installation.

• Place the speakers at ear level.

• For a natural stereo effect, the right and left speakers should

be installed in symmetrical and equidistant positions from the

listening position.

• To prevent sliding, apply the supplied cushions to the bottom

of the speakers.

WARNING

Store small parts out of the reach of

children and infants. If accidentally

swallowed, contact a doctor

immediately.

D41-6-4_A1_En

• The speakers should ideally be placed at an angle of 30° to

the left and right (for a total of 60°) from the listening position,

and facing inward.

60 °

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the

unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least

15 cm at top, 15 cm at rear

, and 15 cm at each side).

ARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to

ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from

overheating.

To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never

be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers,

table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick

carpet or a bed.

Connections

• Disconnect the power cord before making or changing

connections.

• Read the instruction manuals for the devices you are going

to connect with the speakers.

• Connect the power cord after all the connections are

complete.

• Use the supplied power cord.

• The input signals to the RCA, STEREO MINI input terminals

and the input signals from Bluetooth are mixed, so please

beware of the volume level.

Connecting cords

Connect the supplied speaker cord to the speakers.

1 Strip about 1 cm of the head of the supplied speaker

cord and twist and remove the exposed insulator.

After removing the insulator, thoroughly twist the core wires.

2 Connect the supplied speaker cord to the speaker

terminals on the LEFT and RIGHT sides.

3 Insert the core wires into the terminals while pressing

the claw on the speaker terminal.

Connect the speaker cord with the red line into the + terminal

side (red) and the speaker cord without the red line into the -

terminal side (black).

CAUTION

• After connecting to the terminals, lightly pull the speaker cord to make sure that heads of the speaker cord are securely connected to the

terminals. A loose connection might cause audio output to be interrupted or noise to be output.

• When connecting the speaker cord, thoroughly twist the core wires, and make sure that the core wires are not protruding out of the speaker

terminals. Core wires protruding out of the speaker terminals may come into contact with the rear panel or with each other. This may cause an

excessive load to be placed on the amplifier which results in operation stopping or a malfunction.

• If a mistake is made with the polarities (+, -) on the LEFT and RIGHT sides when connecting the LEFT and RIGHT speaker cord, normal

stereo effect can no longer be obtained.

Listening to the music of a Bluetooth device

These speakers allow you to wirelessly enjoy tracks saved to a Bluetooth device.

When using the speakers connected with a Bluetooth device for the first time or when connected with another Bluetooth device, you

need to pair the speakers and a Bluetooth device.

Pairing (device mutual registration) is the operation required to connect a Bluetooth device and the speakers.

Pairing and connection procedure

1 Turn on the [POWER] switch on the speaker.

• The Paring indicator flashes for approximately 30 seconds and the speakers enter Pairing mode.

• If the Pairing indicator is off, press and hold the pairing button for at least 2 seconds to switch to Pairing mode again.

2 Perform the pairing procedure on a Bluetooth device.

Perform the pairing procedure on a Bluetooth device while the speakers are in paring mode. For details, see the instruction

manual of your Bluetooth device.

3 The Pairing indicator on the speaker stops blinking and lights up when the connection is complete.

The Pairing indicator turns off if the speakers can’t pair with a Bluetooth device within 30 seconds.

• A Bluetooth device that has already been paired can be connected by performing the connection procedure on the Bluetooth device side if

the speakers are powered on.

Playback

When you play music on a connected Bluetooth device, the music playing on the Bluetooth device is output from the speakers.

• You can play/pause a track playing on a Bluetooth device by pressing the pairing button. (same function as the pause/play button on the

Bluetooth device).

CAUTION

• When pairing (connecting), move the

Bluetooth

device close to the speakers.

• Loud sound may be output when the playback operation is performed for the first time after connecting completes so we recommend lowering

the volume before playback.

• The pause/play operation may not be possible with the pairing button depending on the application used.

• Connecting with the speakers may not be possible depending on the

Bluetooth

device.

• If you wish to pair the speakers with a different

Bluetooth

device, turn off the

Bluetooth

function of the currently connected

Bluetooth

device or

disconnect the connection before performing the pairing operation.

• The speakers store the pairing information of up to eight

Bluetooth

devices, and attempt to connect to the last paired device if the pairing

button is pressed in the state of no connection with a

Bluetooth

device.
