Output power of your receiver or amplifier must not be over the maximum input power of 
the speaker system, and an appropriate volume level to prevent sound distortion must be 
kept. See “Specifications” for the maximum input power.

La puissance de sortie de votre récepteur ou de votre amplificateur ne pas doit être 
supérieure à la puissance d’entrée maximum du système d’enceintes, et vous devez 
maintenir le volume à un niveau approprié afin d’éviter la distorsion. Voir la section 
« Spécifications » pour connaître la puissance d’entrée maximum.

La potencia de salida del receptor o el amplificador no debe sobrepasar la potencia 
máxima de entrada del sistema de altavoces, por lo que, para evitar la distorsión del 
sonido, se debe ajustar un volumen apropiado. Puede consultar la potencia máxima de 
entrada en “Especificaciones”.

Features
The forward-facing and upward-facing super 
tweeter configuration achieves a 
multidirectional listening experience. Uniquely 
shaped front panels with boldly cut edges 
also help prevent sound diffraction. That way, 
high-quality sound from sound sources or 
CDs can be enjoyed in wider area than with 
conventional speakers.
Connections
ˎ
ˎ
Before connecting, turn off the amplifier to 
avoid damaging the speaker system.
ˎ
ˎ
When turning the amplifier or program 
source power on/off, reduce the sound level 
on the amplifier to minimum.
ˎ
ˎ
When bass sound is missing or the sound 
output position of musical instruments is 
not distinct, make sure the +/– terminals of 
speaker cords are connected properly.
Precautions
ˎ
ˎ
Avoid driving the speaker system 
continuously with a wattage exceeding the 
maximum input power of each speaker. 
ˎ
ˎ
Do not place anything on the speakers.
ˎ
ˎ
Do not attempt to open the enclosure or 
remove speaker units. There are no 
user-serviceable parts inside.
ˎ
ˎ
Keep recorded tapes, watches, personal 
credit cards, and hard disk drives using 
magnetic coding away from the speaker 
system.

the grill on. Remove the grill before using 
the speaker system.
Cleaning and maintenance
ˎ
ˎ

it first using a soft cloth, a brush, or a feather 
duster and then polish it using a dry 
cleaning cloth (never use a scrubbing brush 
or a sponge).

ˎ
Wipe the surface gently. For fingerprints or 
oil stains, etc., breathe on the surface and 
wipe it off with a cleaning cloth.
ˎ
ˎ
If the enclosure becomes extremely dirty, 
wipe the enclosure using a soft cloth slightly 
moistened with a soap and water mix.
ˎ
ˎ
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the 
enclosure.
ˎ
ˎ
Wipe dust and other dirt from the super 
tweeter (top panel) using a blower brush or 
soft brush.
