¶ When using the speakers in a room with permeable walls, place the speakers as closely as possible along the walls, or install them in front of a screen or other object with reflective properties. ¶ When used with a television, the speakers should be installed so that their front surfaces are in the same plane as the screen of the television. ¶ When using the speakers with a television screen, the optimum breadth of sound will be produced when the television screen is placed midway between the right and left speakers, and the speakers are oriented at angles of about 50�60° from the listening position. ¶ In rooms with hard reflective or resonating walls, it may be desirable to cover the walls with a curtain, and/or place a carpet on the floor to dampen excessive sound reflection. Extending the curtain all the way to the corners will help prevent local deadening of the sound. On the other hand, if the wall opposite the speakers (behind the listening position) is also composed of a hard surface, placing a thick curtain over the wall will help prevent the production of standing waves, and result in better sound.

Connect wire with white line to amplifier�s ª speaker output terminal.

Connect solid-color wire to amplifier�s · speaker output terminal.

4. Remove the protective backing paper from the hook-and-loop fastener strip (hook strip), and apply to the bottom of the speaker stand near the rim depression for the speaker wire (see illustration). 5. Pass the speaker wire through the rim depression as shown. 6. Place the other hook-and-loop fastener strip (loop strip) onto the first strip (hook) with the speaker wire passing between the two strips, so as to fix the speaker wire in position.

Installation Precautions
¶ These speaker systems are heavy; installing them in unstable locations is extremely dangerous and should be avoided.

Connection to Amplifier
Terminals are provided at the bottom of the speakers for connection to an amplifier. 1 Disconnect the power cord to the amplifier. 2 Use the provided accessory speaker wires to connect the input terminals at the bottom of the speakers to the amplifier�s speaker output terminals. Connect the ª terminal to the wire with the white line; connect the · terminal to the solid-color wire.
Hook-and-loop fastener strip (loop)

Place loop strip over wire and onto hook strip.

1. Remove insulation at end of wire and twist ends of wire strands.

¶ After connecting the wires to terminals, pull gently on the wire and confirm that the wire lead is fastened securely to its terminal. Insecure connections will result in broken sound and noise. ¶ Do not allow bare wire ends to protrude excessively from the terminals. If the bare wires from the two leads touch each other, excessive load will be placed on the amplifier, leading to possible damage or malfunction. ¶ Be sure to connect the + and � leads to their correct terminals. If the poles at one end of the wires are connected mistakenly (+ to �, � to +), proper stereo effect will not be produced.

2. Insert speaker wire through hole in the bottom of the speaker stand. 3. Loosen the screws, pass the wire cores through the terminal holes, and retighten the screws thoroughly.
