Important Safety Instructions

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table spec­ified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use cau­tion when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
PORTABLE CART WARNING

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.

15. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the apparatus 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 apparatus,
C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
water,
D. If the apparatus 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 apparatus to its normal operation,
E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in
any way, and
F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
16. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous volt­age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus. Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.
17. Batteries Always consider the environmental issues and fol­low local regulations when disposing of batteries.
18. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is ade­quate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.

Precautions

1. AC Fuse —The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.
2. Care —Occasionally you should dust the unit 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 unit 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.
3. 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 unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Auto standby function does not fully shutdown the SKW-750X. If you do not intend to use the SKW­750X, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
For Canadian models
For models having a power cord with a polarized plug:
CAUTION:
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Speaker Precautions

Placement
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi­tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam­age, will affect the sound quality.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti­cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s output level.
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-750XF and SKC-750XC feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should 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. Do not place SKM-750XS/SKB-750X close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.
Input Signal Warning
The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol­lowing signals are fed to them, 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. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
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 discon-
necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.

Speaker Precautions —Continued
Speaker care
Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alco­hol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions that come with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.
Power Cord Precautions
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
•Turning on the SKW-750X may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the SKW-750X into a different branch circuit.

Speaker Stand AS-140 Precautions

1.
Be sure to tighten the screws when you assemble the speaker stands and attach the brackets to the speak­ers.
2.
The speaker stands are tall. Install the stands in a manner that will not allow the speakers to tip over. You may want to use commercially available chains to prevent the stands from falling in the event of an earthquake.
3.
Do not place the stands on an unstable table, slope, or thick carpet. Otherwise, the stands may fall, caus­ing injury.
4.
Place the stands in a location in which they would not cause injury if they accidentally fell.
5.
Do not place the stands in an area at risk of fire or damage, such as near a fireplace, heater, glass win­dow, etc.
