Other Information

Before using

Thank you for purchasing ...

Thank you for purchasing the ONKYO A-905X Integrated Stereo Amplifier. Please read this manual thoroughly before making any connection or turning on the power. Follow these instructions to obtain optimum performance and maximum listening enjoyment from your new A-905X. Please retain this manual for future reference.

Main Features

• Individually designed as the high-quality Separate Collection Series

• 4 ohm-drive capability with discrete output stage circuit

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.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

• Input selector for six audio sources

• Remote control operable with

-con-

nected ONKYO components

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.

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature

accompanying the appliance.

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.

Notes

• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.

• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.

• Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.

• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.

• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems with the unit, please check the troubleshooting table below first. For any problems not covered in the table, please consult your nearest ONKYO authorized service center.

Symptom

The unit doesn’t turn on.

Sound is reproduced from neither left or right speaker.

Sound is reproduced from only one speaker.

No sound is reproduced when the (wake-up) timer operates.

The remote control doesn’t operate.

Cause

The AC power cord is not fully inserted into the wall outlet.

• The wire of the speaker cord is touching the other jacks, connectors, or metal parts.

• The volume level is turned down to the minimum.

• The sound is muted with the muting function.

• The headphones are connected to the PHONES jack.

• The speaker cord is not connected properly or firmly, or is disconnected.

• The sound is unbalanced between the left and right speakers.

• The volume level is turned down to the minimum.

• The muting function was on when you set the timer.

• The batteries in the remote controller are dead.

• The remote controller is out of the control range.

• There is some obstruction between the remote controller and the unit.

Remedy

Insert the AC power cord (mains lead) plug into the wall outlet (the mains) securely.

• Check the speaker connections (see page 14).

• Adjust the volume level (see page

19).

• Press MUTING button on the remote controller to restore the sound (see page 21).

• Turn down the volume level first, then disconnect the headphones. Then, readjust the volume level.

• Check the speaker connections (see page 14).

• Adjust the sound balance (see page

20).

• Adjust the volume to the proper level when you set the timer (see page 19).

• Press MUTING button on the remote controller to restore the sound (see page 21) before you set the timer.

• Replace the batteries with new ones (see page 17).

• Operate the remote controller within the control range (see page
