● Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting the speaker
system.
● The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω. Use only
amplifiers capable of handling this impedance.
● Use the supplied speaker cables to connect between the
speaker’s input terminals and the amplifier’s speaker terminals
as illustrated below.
● Be sure that you are connecting the speaker’s positive (+) and
negative (–) input terminals with the amplifier’s corresponding
positive and negative speaker terminals. Otherwise, undesirable
sound field or impaired bass-range reproduction will result.

Precaution on use
● This speaker system can handle the specified input power
when it is used for ordinary music reproduction. If the following
abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent
may flow in the internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of
the wires even if the input power is below the specified rating.
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in.
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette tape deck.
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator, an
electronic musical instruments, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifier signals.
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.
6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting audio
connection cables. (Always turn off the amplifier’s power
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Howling when a microphone is used.
