Important Safeguards
1.Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2.Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3.Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.Follow Instructions—All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5.Cleaning—Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6.Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7.Water and Moisture—Do not use the appliance near water –for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories—Do not place the appliance on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may
fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and seri-
S3125A
ous damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9.An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
10.Ventilation—Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 8 in. (20 cm) and an opening behind the appliance.
11.Power Sources—The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
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.
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.

Important Safeguards—Continued
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 from 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.
24.Heat—The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
25.Liquid Hazards—The appliance should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on the appliance.

Precautions
1.Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.
2.AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the TX-8011 Receiver is not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the TX-8011 Receiver, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3.Care—Occasionally you should dust the TX-8011 Receiver all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the TX-8011 Receiver immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may 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.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the TX-8011 Receiver’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the TX-8011 Receiver. If you do not intend to use the TX-8011 Receiver for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
Memory backup
The TX-8011 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the TX-8011 Receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.
Once it has been charged, the TX-8011 Receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
For U.S. models
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guideline for proper grounding and, in particular, specified that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
