≥Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.
≥ Place the speaker that is connected with the speaker cable with a red connector on the observers’ right, and connect with 
the speaker cable with a white connector on the observers’ left.
To prevent the speakers from falling, it is recommended, as an additional 
protection measure, to attach the speakers to the wall or table with a fall 
prevention cord (hereafter “cord”).
	≥Consultation with a qualified installation specialist concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or  a 
surface that may not have strong enough support is recommended ( >11, 13). Improper attachment may result in damage to 
the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
≥ Use a cord that is capable of supporting over 10 k g (22.05 lbs) (with a diameter of about 1.5 mm (
1/16q)).
≥ Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
≥ Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal.
