When connecting the speaker cable
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this
could damage the speaker or the amplifier.
• Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct
polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.
• Please refer to the owner's manual that came with your
amplifier or receiver.

units, and not to exert excessive force with any tools.
• Do not touch or apply impact to the speaker's diaphragm.
Otherwise, the speaker may malfunction.

magnets, such as CRT TV, clock, magnetic card, diskette,
etc., after removing it.
