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 and STEREO MINI input

terminals 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.

The cord with the red line

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.
