Speaker and Speaker cords--
to improve the sound quality
About DD (Direct Drive) speaker
DD (Direct Drive) technology improves sound localization
and transmits the powerful sounds.
About the OFC cord
The core wires of the supplied speaker cords are made of
OFC (Oxygen Free Copper). This OFC cord enables high
quality sound reproduction.
When connecting the speaker cords
Make sure to match the polarity (
ª and ·); otherwise, the
sound will lose the surround effect.
After connecting, check that the exposed cores are fully
inserted into the terminal.
When using other speaker cords
Observe the following;
· Buy thick speaker cords rather than thin cords, and make
them as short as possible for connection.
· Use speaker cords of the same length for both left and
right speakers.
· Do not use long speaker cords; otherwise, the sound
quality may deteriorate.
Thank you for purchasing a JVC speaker system.
Before you begin using these speakers, please read the
instructions carefully to be sure you get the best possible
performance. If you have any questions, consult your JVC
dealer.
Warnings, Cautions and Others
Precautions for installation
· 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 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.
· Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place
the speakers as far away from the player as
possible.
· 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.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers
further away from the TV.
· 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.
Precautions for Daily Use
· To maintain the appearance of the speakers
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet or control panel
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
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.
· 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.
When holding a satellite speaker, do not grasp the speaker
(upper) portion, but always grasp the leg (lower) portion of
the satellite speaker.

Assembling the satellite speakers
Each speaker (except the center speaker) has been divided into
three parts for shipment. Before using this speaker system,
assemble it first by following the procedure below.
· Prepare a Phillips screw driver.
Before assembling--
· Take care not to drop the stand while assembling;
otherwise, it may cause damage to the floor or injury.
· Ensure enough space for assembly and installation.
· Place a large, thick cloth on the floor where you
assemble the speaker, so you can protect the floor and
the speaker itself.
· Use the speaker only after assembly is fully and correctly
done.
Attaching the leg and the stand
1 Remove the terminal cover from the leg.
First remove the screw on the terminal cover, then detach
the cover by pulling it upward.
· You will need to use the removed screw in step 5 on page
4.
Cushion
2 Join the leg to the stand.
· Rotate either the leg or stand so that the
mark on the
leg and the
mark on the stand are facing the same
direction.
· Make sure to match the screw holes on the leg with those
on the stand so that they are aligned correctly.
3 Fix the leg to the stand with three of the
supplied screws--long: M4 x 25 mm
(M4 x 1 in.).
· Do not tighten each screw completely as you put them in
place.
First put all screws in, then tighten them evenly and firmly.
It is recommended to place a cushion under the leg.
· You can tighten the screws easily by placing the leg
horizontally.
