When the sound is distorted. When you adjust the sound quality. CAUTION! · Use the speakers only with the recommended system. If not, you can cause damage to the amplifier and speakers and can cause a fire. Consult an approved service personnel if damage occurs or if there is a sudden apparent change in performance. · Do not modify the speaker or speaker wires as this can cause damage to the system. · Do the procedures included in these instructions when you attach the speakers. · Do not touch the speaker cone’s reverberating surfaces: This may damage the speaker cone. The speaker cone may be hot.
