Before using this unit
• 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.
Precaution on use
• 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 instruments, 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.
Connection
• Turn the sound volume to the minimum and disconnect the
power cord from the amplifier before connecting the
speaker cables.
• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω. Use
only amplifiers capable of handling this impedance.
• Use the supplied speaker cables to connect between
speaker’s input terminals and the amplifier’s speaker
terminals as illustrated below.
• Connect the speaker cables securely to the terminals, with
the core wires twisted properly. In this case, make sure that
the core wires do not touch each other. Note that a short
circuit in core wires may result in damage to the amplifier.
Connecting to AV amplifier
1. Strip off the end
of plastic skin,
and give a twist
to the core wire.

Speaker terminals of the amplifier
Before turning on the amplifier’s power switch:
• Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker
cables do not contact each other. Otherwise, a short-circuit
may occur, causing damage to the amplifier.
• Be sure to connect the speaker cables with correct polarity
(connect the speaker’s positive (+) and negative (–)
binding posts with the amplifier’s corresponding speaker
terminals). Reversed polarity results in impaired bassrange reproduction, causing mislocalization of the sound
image. Also, be sure to connect the Right and Left
speakers with the amplifier’s corresponding speaker
terminals.
• Pull lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are
connected firmly.
3. Hold the core wire
tight by fastening
the screw in the
direction of an
arrow.

Placement
Using as a surround speaker
Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by
giving three-dimensional sound movement to the sound
effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of the listener
or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers
should be placed symmetrically.
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher
than that of the listener’s ears.
The speaker cabinet is made of wood and sensitive to extreme
temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the speaker system
in locations subjected to direct sunlight or in humid places
such as near an air conditioner, bathroom, or kitchen.
Installing on the wall
If the speakers are to be wall-mounted, make sure that the
walls are strong enough to support the speaker’s weight. The
weight that mounting screws can support varies greatly
depending on the wall material and the position of the
reinforcing ribs embedded in the wall. Use the thickest and
longest possible mounting screws with mounting screw head
diameters less than 10 mm and shank diameters less than 4
mm (consult with your interior designer or contractor).
Attach the supplied cushioning pads as shown to wall-mount
the speaker securely.

Installation using commercially-available stands
and fixtures
The surround speaker bottom and rear are equipped with
screw holes so that you can attach commercially-available
stands or mounting fixtures for a variety of mounting options.
(Two M5 screw holes, 60 mm pitch on the bottom and the
rear.)
Note:
When attaching an accessory item to a speaker, be careful of
the length of the screws used. Use only screws that provide
the required strength with a screw length between 3 and 11
mm.

Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles
This speaker system uses detachable grilles. Use the
following method to attach or detach the grilles.
1. While holding the bottom edge of the speaker grille with
your both hands, pull it gently toward you to remove the
bottom of the grille.
2. In the same way, gently pull the upper edge of the speaker
grille toward you to remove it from the main unit.
3. To replace the grill, push the projections at the corners into
the grille plug holes on the speaker cabinet.

Replacement
Use with a TV set
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets, etc. are
extremely sensitive and can be affected even by the
magnetism of the earth. If a speaker system is used near
them, therefore, discoloration or distortion of pictures will
occur. To allow use with color television sets, etc., this speaker
system is provided with magnetic shielding.
Even so, discoloration may still result, depending on the
installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the
power of the television set, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then
turn it on again. This activates the self-demagnetizing function
of the television set, improving the display condition. If
discoloration persists even after performing this remedy, move
the speaker apart from the television set. Discoloration may
also be caused when a magnet or other magnetizing object
exists near the television because of the combined effect.
Speaker care
Your Onkyo speakers are finished with a high quality covering
that serves to protect the wood speaker cabinet.
Wipe the cabinet periodically with a dry, silicon-embedded or
plain soft cloth.
The covering may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with
water and a mild soap. Avoid the use of furniture polishes or
harsh cleansers. Use a soft brush or hand vacuum cleaner to
remove dust and lint from the grille material.
Natural wood finished cabinets
The cabinets are finished with a natural wood surface. They
have a unique wood grain pattern. Your cabinets have their
own raw beauty and uniqueness which is unlocked from the
tree; this is depicted by the cross-grain patterns with dark and
light coloring. You can enjoy Onkyo’s craftsmanship not only
when designing for the best sound quality, but to assimilate
natural blessings for the visual senses. The paint and finishing
work of the cabinets are conducted under the strictest quality
control standards.
