Package Contents Make sure you have the following items: AV receiver (HT-R557) Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6) Indoor FM antenna Using Close to a TV or Computer TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-750F and SKC-750C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor. AM loop antenna Speaker setup microphone Input Signal Warning The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. 2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape. 3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on. 4. Amplifier oscillation. 5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. 6.
