In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the 
product name indicates the color. Specifications and 
operation are the same regardless of the color.

The speakers can handle the specified input power when 
used for normal music reproduction. If they’re fed any 
of the following signals, even if the input power is 
within the specified rating, excessive current may flow 
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Audio from a cassette that’s being fast-forwarded.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-

tronic musical instrument, and so on.

4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier 
before connecting or disconnecting cables).

7. Microphone feedback.

The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put 
metal items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, 
as they may be attracted toward the magnet, causing 
injury, or damage to the tweeter diaphragm.

 

The two speakers are identical, so it doesn’t matter 
which one you use on the left or right.

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive 
devices and as such are likely to suffer from discolora-
tion or picture distortion when conventional speakers 
are placed nearby. To prevent this, the speakers feature 
internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, how-
ever, discoloration may still be an issue. In this case, 
turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and 
then turn it back on again. This normally activates the 
degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic 
field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If dis-
coloration problems persist, try moving the speakers 
away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration 
can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool 
that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

 

If the speakers are placed close to a TV or monitor, due 
to the electromagnetic waves radiated by the TV or 
monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even 
after your amplifier has been turned off. To prevent this, 
position the speakers away from your TV or monitor.

You can use the speakers either with or without their 
grilles, which can be removed as follows.
1. Use both hands to gently pull the bottom of the grille 

away from the speaker.

2. Use both hands to gently pull the top of the grille 

away from the speaker.

3. To replace the grille, align the four fasteners and gen-

tly push the grille toward the speaker.

the same for the D-N7BX. 

You can improve the sound quality by attaching the 
included cork spacers to raise the speakers off the surface 
and reduce the contact area. The cork spacers also make 
the speakers stable and prevent them from slipping.
