Warnings, Cautions and Others
7 Precautions for installation
7 Precautions for daily use
• Do not install the speakers on an uneven surface or in a place
subject to vibration; otherwise, they may fall over, causing
damage or injury.
– Take the occurrence of earthquakes or other
physical shocks into consideration when
selecting the installation place, and secure the
speakers thoroughly.
• To maintain the appearance of the speakers
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet should become dirty.
If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent
to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry cloth.
• To improve the sound field
– It is recommended to leave a space of more than 50 cm
between the speakers and the wall.
• To prevent deformation or discoloration of the
cabinet, do not install the speakers where they are
exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity, and
avoid installation near air conditioning outlets.
– If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass
door, etc., it is recommended to furnish the wall
with materials that absorb sounds, for example
by hanging up thick curtains, to prevent
reflections and standing waves.
• Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place the
speakers as far away from the player as possible.
• To use the speakers without any trouble
– Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are
distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by
internal heat buildup.
– When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or
injury.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid
color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it
may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following
when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s
main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.
7 Checking the supplied accessories
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed
the above. If this happens, move the speakers further away
from the TV.
• Base plates (2)
• Speaker grilles (2)
• Speaker cords (4 m, 2)
• Screws (M4 x 20 mm, 8)
• Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if a speaker is
installed near the tuner. In this case, leave more distance
between the tuner and the speakers or use an outdoor
antenna for better tuner reception without interference from
the speakers.
If any item is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall
down or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be
careful that children do not lean against them.
Connection
7 Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier
7 Connecting the speaker cord
Before connection—
Connect the speaker cord to the speaker as illustrated.
• Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the
speaker system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
• Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·); otherwise, the
surround effect will become less effective.
• The impedance of the speaker is 6 Ω. Before connecting it to
your amplifier, check the speaker impedance range of your
amplifier. If the impedance of this speaker is out of the speaker
impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you cannot
connect this system to the amplifier.
Before connecting:
Twist and remove the insulation at the end
of each speaker cord.
• The maximum power handling capacity of the SP-F508 is
100 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and
possible damage.
• Be sure to turn down the volume level to prevent unwanted
noise before performing following operations:
– Turning on or off other components,
– Operating the amplifier,
