Getting Started
Step 1: Hooking up the system
Perform the following procedures 1 to 6 to hook up your system using the supplied cords and
accessories.
1 Attach the unit to the supplied desktop
stand with the supplied screws
(M4

without passing the power cord through the
groove, the weight of the unit will damage
the power cord, which could lead to electric
shock or fire.

· Be sure to attach the unit to the stand.
· Either mount both the left and right speakers, or
remove both of the speakers. Do not use the system
with only one speaker mounted.
