Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing an Onkyo Speaker System.

Please read this manual thoroughly before using it. Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain optimum performance and listening enjoyment from your new Speaker System.

Please retain this manual for future reference.

Before UsingYour New Speakers

The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Do not use them in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

Place the speakers on sturdy, flat surfaces. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces where they may fall and cause damage will affect the sound quality.

Do not keep water or other liquids close to the speakers. If a liquid is spilled over them, the woofer and tweeter inside may be damaged.

Do not handle the speakers with wet or damp hands.

Precautions

In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product name indicates the color. Specifications and operation are the same regardless of the color.

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If they’re fed any of the following signals, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1.Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2.Audio from a cassette that’s being fast-forwarded.

3.High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.

4.Amplifier oscillation.

5.Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6.Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables).

7.Microphone feedback.

The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put metal items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, as they may be attracted toward the magnet, causing injury, or damage to the tweeter diaphragm.

The two speakers are identical, so it doesn’t matter which one you use on the left or right.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue. In this case, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Note:

If the speakers are placed close to a TV or monitor, due to the electromagnetic waves radiated by the TV or monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even after your amplifier has been turned off. To prevent this, position the speakers away from your TV or monitor.

Removing the Speaker Grilles

You can use the speakers either with or without their grilles, which can be removed as follows.

1.Use both hands to gently pull the bottom of the grille away from the speaker.

2.Use both hands to gently pull the top of the grille away from the speaker.

3.To replace the grille, align the four fasteners and gently push the grille toward the speaker.

Using the Included Cork Spacers

You can improve the sound quality by attaching the included cork spacers to raise the speakers off the surface and reduce the contact area. The cork spacers also make the speakers stable and prevent them from slipping.
