Instruction Manual
Thank you for your purchase of the Onkyo speaker
system.
Please read this manual thoroughly before using it.
Following the instructions in this manual will
enable you to obtain optimum performance and
listening enjoyment from your new speaker
system.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
• The speaker cabinet is made of wood and is
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and
humidity. Avoid placing the speaker systems in
locations subjected to direct sunlight, or in smoky
or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner,
humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen. Doing so may
result in damage to the speaker.
• Place the unit on a rigid, level surface. Placing it
on a slanted surface or weak base not only may
cause the unit to fall, but also results in decreased
sound quality.
• Be sure to turn off your amplifier before
connecting the speaker system. Connecting them
with the amplifier’s power on may result in
damage to the amplifier or the speaker system.
• Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If
water is spilled into the unit, not only the unit but
also the speakers themselves may be damaged.
• This speaker system can handle the specified
input power when it is used for ordinary music
reproduction. If the following abnormal signals
are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent
may flow in the internal circuits, causing burning
or breakage of the wires even if the input power is
below the specified rating.
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette
tape deck
3. High-frequency sound generated by an
oscillator, an electronic musical instrument, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifier signals
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking
CD, etc.
6. Sound produced when connecting or
disconnecting audio connection cables (Always
turn off the amplifier’s power before connecting
or disconnecting cables.)
7. Howling when a microphone is used
• Do not place magnetic objects such as
screwdrivers and iron parts near the tweeter since
they use speakers with strong magnets. Otherwise,
the objects may be attracted, causing injury or
damaging the diaphragm.
