i En PRECAUTIONS WHEN POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS PLACING THE SPEAKERS PRECAUTIONS WHEN POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS PLACING THE SPEAKERS The speaker is constructed with the majority of the weight located in its upper portion, and is thus susceptible to falling over if proper care is not taken to insure its stability. If the speaker falls over, it may damage the speaker or be the cause of injury (or even death) to person and/or damage to personal property. For safe and proper use of the speaker: • Position the speaker in a location that is solid, level, smooth, and low (with respect to the floor). • Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the speaker when moving, or lean objects against the side of the speaker. • Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker. Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over. For safety reasons, using commercially available products that increase stability of the speaker is recommended (metal fittings or chains, etc.). ¦Using as 2ch stereo speakers Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are slightly angled in towards the listeners. ¦Using as front speakers in a multi channel system Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning of speakers is important, since this dictates the overall sound quality of the multi channel system. Set up the speakers on the basis of your listening position by following the owner’s manual supplied with your amplifier. NS-F310 Subwoofer Center Surround Notes • Placing this unit too close to a CRT TV set might impair picture color or create a buzzing noise. Should this happen, move the speaker away (more than 20 cm (7-7/8”)) from the TV set. When using a PDP or LCD TV, it would not happen. • To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the floor. 1 En English CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER A B LR ++ – – SPEAKERS Loosen Black (–) Tighten Red (+) NS-F310 NS-F310 Amplifier or Receiver Speakers output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) • Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) with the speaker cable. • Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver) to the (+) terminal of each speaker, making sure to confirm the color- coded wire of the cable at each end. Use the other wire of the cable to connect the (–) terminals of the components. • Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. ¦How to connect 1 Loosen the knob. 2 Remove 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from each end of the cables, and twist the exposed conductors together neatly and tightly, as shown below. 10 mm (3/8 ”) Good No Good 3 Insert the bare wire. 4 Tighten the knob and secure the cables. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cables at the terminal. Notes • Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both. • Do not insert the insulation into the hole. Sound may not be produced. ¦When using a banana plug Note Do not take off this cover unless using a banana plug. Banana plug Cover 1 Remove the cover by pulling it toward you. 2 Tighten the terminal knob. 3 Simply insert the banana plug into the terminal. 2 En REMOVING THE FRONT COVER SPECIFICATIONS REMOVING THE FRONT COVER SPECIFICATIONS The front cover is attached to protect the speaker unit, but you can remove it if necessary. The front cover is fixed by magnets. Hold the speaker with one hand, and pull the front cover gently with the other to remove it. Notes • When removing the cover, be careful that you don’t touch the drive units, and don’t exert excessive force with any tools. • There are magnets on the reverse side of the front cover. Do not place the front cover close to objects that might be affected by magnets, such as CRT TV, clock, magnetic card, diskette, etc, after removing it.
