12.Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13.Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

2

14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15.Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16.Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18.Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

19.Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20.Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A.When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the appliance,

C.If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,

D.If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation,

E.If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

F.When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

21.Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22.Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.

23.Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Connecting the remote control cables

If your other components are made by ONKYO and those components are equipped with connectors, you can control the -connected components with the supplied remote controller.

Before connecting

The unit must be connected in the system hookups for control operations.

Each component has two connectors. There is no difference between these connectors.

The components may be connected in any order.

The hookups on the previous page are necessary independently of the system hookups.

The illustration below is an example of a hookup.

remote control cable (supplied with every ONKYO component that has connectors except for the amplifier and receiver)

• This is not an example of stacking the components. For the example, refer to page 9.

Note:

Select “CD” as the input display when you connect a CD player to the R-801A’s CD/DVD connector, and select “DVD” when you connect a DVD player. If you select the wrong input, the system will not operate even if the connection is correct.

Toggling between “CD” and “DVD” for the input display

To toggle between “CD” or “DVD” for the input display, make sure that the

CD/DVD

display indicates “CD” or “DVD,” then press and hold down the CD/DVD button on the remote controller for two seconds or more.

Connecting speaker systems

Connecting left and right speakers

Before connecting

The load impedance of each speaker must be at least 4 ohms.

Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker cords. Otherwise, the DC resistance of the speaker cords may become too high, lowering the damping factor and causing the sound quality to deteriorate.

Do not connect the speaker cord to the L and R connectors at the same time and do not connect two or more speakers to the same speaker connectors.
