Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier is

switched off.

■ When connecting the speaker cable

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this

could damage the speaker or the amplifier.

• Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct

polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+)

terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–)

terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will be

unnatural and lack bass.

• Please refer to the owner’s manual that came with your

amplifier or receiver.

■ How to connect the speaker cables

1. Loosen the terminal knob.

2. Remove 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from each end of the

cables, and twist the exposed conductors together neatly

and tightly, as shown below.

3. Insert the bare wire.

4. Tighten the knob and secure the cable.

5. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on

the cable at the terminal.

Notes

• When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher

than the nominal input power of the speaker, care should be

taken never to exceed the speaker’s maximum input.

• The speaker may be damaged if certain sounds are

continuously output at high volume level. For example, if sine

waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic

instruments, etc., are continuously output, or when the stylus

of a turntable touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume

level to prevent the speaker from being damaged.

■ When using a banana plug

1. Tighten the terminal knob.

2. Simply insert the banana plug into the terminal.

The speaker and the grille are packed separately. To attach the

grille, line up the projections (magnets) on the reverse side of

the grille with their corresponding screw heads on the speaker.

Notes

• When removing the grille, be careful not to touch the drive

units, and not to exert excessive force with any tools.

• Do not touch or apply impact to the speaker's diaphragm.

Otherwise, the speaker may malfunction.

• There are magnets on the reverse side of the grille. Do not

place the grille close to objects that might be affected by

magnets, such as CRT TV, clock, magnetic card, diskette,

etc., after removing it.
