To ensure you will be completely satisfied with this product, read and understand this manual carefully before use. Keep the manual in a safe place. The Operating Manual must be passed on to all subsequent users.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to match your speaker and amplifier power ratings.
Failure to do so can result in pennant damage to your speakers.
Distortion is an indication that amplifier or speaker is operating beyond its design limits. If you hear distortion, immediately turn down the volume to avoid permanent damage.
Do not place these speakers on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or table.
The speaker may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the unit.
Do not use these speakers near water; for example, near a bathtub, sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
The speakers should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices that produce heal.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS

These speakers are passive and thus require an amplifier or receiver to give them power. They can be connected to any 4 or 8 ohm amplifier.
When using the Home Theater Bookshelf Speakers 4 ohm model, you can connect one speaker per amp channel. When using the 8 ohm model, you can connect up to 2 speakers per channel as long as your amp is 4 to 8 ohm capable. If your speakers are relatively close to the signal source (50 feet or less), 16 gauge wire can be used. For longer distances, 12 or 14 gauge wire is recommended. Be sure to observe proper polarity by ensuring that the wire from the red speaker terminal is connected to the red or positive terminal of the signal source and that the wire from the black speaker terminal is connected to the black or negative terminal of the signal source.
The Home Theater Bookshelf Speakers features 5-way binding posts which can accept various types of connections:

POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS

To place the speakers, start with them placed directly in front of your primary listening position. Make sure the tweeters are as close to ear level as possible. As you are listening to music, make sure to pay close attention to the quality and separation of vocals and instruments. You can move the speakers closer together or further apart to optimize your listening experience, but make sure they are set as far away from the listener as each other.
PYLE-PHQBS52-5.25-Inch-Home-Theater-Wooden-02 Always listen to several musical selections so that you hear lows (bass), (vocals and horns), and highs (treble) from a variety of instruments and vocalists. Allow your speakers a “break in” period before permanently positioning them. To break-in your speakers: at a moderate to low level, play a variety of music through the speakers over a day or two. This will help to prepare them for regular use and optimal performance.

CABINET CARE

The finish of your Home Theater Bookshelf Speakers speakers can be maintained by periodically wiping it down with a lightly dampened fiber cloth. The grills can be brushed or vacuumed to remove dust.
