Colocación de los altavoces
Los altavoces han sido diseñados identicamente por lo que no es necesario orientar el canal derecho o izquiedo.
Utilice solamente los altavoces suministrados.
La combinación de la unidad principal y los altavoces proporciona el mejor sonido. Utilizando otros altavoces se puede 
estropear la unidad y el sonido quedará afectado negativamente.
Nota•  Mantenga sus altavoces alejados un mínimo de 10mm (13/32˝) del sistema para disponer de una ventilación apropiada.
•  Estos altavoces no disponen de blindaje magnético. No los ponga cerca de televisores, ordenadores personales y otros dispositivos a los 
que afecte fácilmente el magnetismo.
•  Para evitar estropear los altavoces, no toque los conos de los altavoces si ha quitado las redes.
Precaución
  Use los altavoces sólo con el sistema recomendado. De lo contrario, se podrían dañar el ampli cador 
y los altavoces, y se podría ocasionar un incendio. Consulte a un técnico de servicio especializado si 
se ha producido algún daño o si se ha producido un cambio repentino en su funcionamiento.
  No instale estos altavoces en paredes ni techos.
