Speaker Precautions
• The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and
humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air
conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units
may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause
damage, will affect the sound quality.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright
vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or
tilted position.
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD
player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To
prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,
CD player or DVD player otherwise lower the unit’s
output level.
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed
nearby. In such situations, try moving the speakers away
from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur,
turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and
then turn it back on again. This normally activates the
degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic
field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. Note
that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or
demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or
monitor.
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the
following signals are fed to them, even if the input power
is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,
electronic musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or
disconnecting audio cables. (Always turn off your
amplifier before connecting or disconnecting
cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.
Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft
cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a
weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing
it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with
a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners,
alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these
could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or
cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth,
always follow the instructions that come with the cloth.
For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or
brush it off.
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your
speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the SKW-770 may cause a momentary
power surge that might interfere with other electrical
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem,
plug the SKW-770 into a different branch circuit.
