Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged in order to charge the back-up system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

Precautions Features
1. Warranty Claim
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number.
2. AC Fuse
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-service- able. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station.
3. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
•The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage in the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz) written on the rear panel.
For British model
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.
If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
■Onkyo’s Theater-Dimensional Sound
Theater-Dimensional Virtual Surround system developed by Onkyo creates the optimum home theater environment by adjusting the listening distance and the width of the sound output from the front speakers.
■Onkyo’s Intelligent Power Management System (IPM)
Onkyo’s intelligent power management system (IPM) turns on/off the complete system, automatically (audio triggered), simply by turning on/off the television.
■OMF cone
Onkyo Micro Fiber (OMF) Speaker Cones, a major advancement in speaker design developed exclusively by Onkyo, use a light-weight silk fiber to greatly improve the damping coefficient — the result is clearly separated fundamental second and third harmonics, superior ambiance and a much more accurate, natural sound.
■Easy-to-setup and Easy-to-use home theater system
Connecting this unit to your TV enables you to enjoy home theater environment. Program the remote controller functions of your TV or VCR into the PHC-5’s remote controller (included in the package) for much easier operation.

•Do not mix battery types. Do not use a new battery and an old battery at the same time.
•If you do not plan to use the remote controller for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the compartment to prevent battery liquid from leaking.
•Leaving dead batteries inside the compartment for an extended period may cause corrosion, which may damage the remote controller. If the unit does not respond well to remote control operation, replace the old batteries with new ones immediately.
•The life of the included manganese batteries is about six months, although it depends on how often you use the remote controller. Onkyo recommends that you use alkaline AA (LR6 or AM-3)-size batteries for replacement.

Installation
We can usually identify the source of a sound based on its loudness and the time difference (delay) between the sound reaching our left ear and right ear. The Virtual Surround system of this unit uses this characteristic of human hearing. This system, along with the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology, creates an effect that makes you think the sound is coming from all around you, even though the sound is output from only two front speakers. The Virtual Surround system limits the sweet spot (effective listening position) due to its nature. That is, the Virtual Surround system of this unit sets an optimum listening position at any point on the center axis when you face the unit. Any position not on the axis will have less effect. Also, if the room has many objects that reflect sound or that cause uneven reflection, the optimum effect may not be obtained.
The effect of the subwoofer varies significantly depending on its location. Generally, placing the subwoofer in the corner of the room would be the most effective.

Installation (continued)
Installation Precautions
Install the unit on a level, stable surface. The unit may fall if you install it on a tilted or unstable surface. Follow the requirements below to place the unit on top of a TV:
•The TV surface on the top side is larger than the bottom surface of the unit.
•The TV surface is level and not tilted.
•The TV is not on an unstable surface.
To prevent the PHC-5 from falling, be sure to attach the anti-slippage pads (included in the package) on the bottom of the unit, and use a strong rope to fix the unit against the wall for safety, as shown in the figure.
If you cannot fix the unit using a rope, attach the dual-sided fixing tape (included in the package) to the bottom of the PHC-5 to fix the unit to the TV.
Note 1: The dual-sided fixing tape (white) uses strong adhesive. It will be very difficult to remove the tape once it is attached to the surface.
Note 2: Make sure that the surface on which you wish to attach the anti-slippage pad or tape is not dirty or wet. Otherwise, the pad or tape will not be fixed to the surface.
