Precautions For Installation; Speaker Placement; Setting Up The Speakers - Teac S-300HR Mode D'emploi

Precautions for installation

o Do not install in a location that becomes hot, including
places exposed to direct sunlight or near heating equip-
ment. Doing so could cause damage.
o Do not install in a location that becomes humid,
including near humidifiers. Moreover, do not install in
a location that become smoky. Doing so could cause
damage.
o Do not install in an unstable location, such as on an
unstable stand or on a slope, or in a location that
vibrates. It could fall down or fall over, causing injury.
Moreover, be very careful to prevent the product from
falling over due to uneven leg heights, for example.
o This product has been designed to minimize magnetic
effects, but installation near a CRT television might
cause color inconsistencies to appear on the screen. If
this should occur, move the speakers and the television
far enough apart so that the inconsistencies disappear.
LCD televisions and plasma televisions are not affected
by magnetism.
o Do not place obstructions between the speakers and
the listening position. Obstructions block the direct
sound, which can change the sound quality.
o Ideally, no items that reflect sound or resonate should
be in the nearby environment. For example, glass doors
sometimes resonate. To prevent this, fix them securely
or use thick curtains or similar materials to absorb
sound.
In addition, parallel walls make it easy for standing
waves to occur, so place furniture to disrupt parallel
surfaces and use thick curtains or similar materials to
absorb sound

Speaker placement

o For stereo playback, the left and right speakers should
usually be placed so that they form an equilateral or
isosceles triangle with the listener at the top corner.

Setting up the speakers

Using the screw spikes
Screw spikes and spike bases are included with these
speakers. Using these spikes might improve the clarity of
bass frequencies. Use them according to the compatibility
with the amplifier and the conditions of the room.
Since the spikes are pointed, they could damage surfaces
that they are placed on. Use the included spike bases if you
want to avoid this.
1) Spread a blanket or similar material on the work sur-
face and place the speakers on their sides.
2) Screw the spikes into the screw holes on the bottoms
of the speakers, using the nuts to adjust their heights.

3) After attaching spikes in three places, place the
speaker where it will be used and adjust the height
of each spike so that the bottom is level, and then
tighten the nuts securely. When placing the speaker
on furniture or flooring, for example, use the included
spike bases to prevent damage. Place the bases so
that the tips of the spikes fill their hollows.

V Be careful not to let the speakers fall over
and cause injury. They are more likely to
fall over during earthquakes, in particular,
so we encourage you to consider this when
you place them.
V The tips of the spikes are very sharp, so be
very careful not to injure your feet, hands or
fingers.
