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 unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230–240 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.

Some models have a voltage selector switch for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area.

Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

5.Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

6.Handling Notes

If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.

Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.

This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.

If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

Precautions—Continued

For British models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

IMPORTANT

The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable fuse in the plug.

For European Models

Declaration of Conformity

We, ONKYO EUROPE ELECTRONICS GmbH LIEGNITZERSTRASSE 6, 82194 GROEBENZELL, GERMANY

declare in own responsibility, that the ONKYO product described in this instruction manual is in compliance with the corresponding technical standards such as EN60065, EN55013, EN55020 and EN61000-3-2, -3-3.

Memory Backup

The AV receiver 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 AV receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

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-360F/SKF- 318F and SKC-360C/SKC-318C 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-360S/SKM-318S 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 disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7.Microphone feedback.

Some models have a voltage selector switch for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t, use a small screwdriver to set it as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts, set the selector to “120V.” If it’s between 220 and 240 volts, set it to “220240V.”

Notes:

If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing the batteries.

Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.

If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Installing the Batteries

1 To open the battery compartment, press the small hollow and slide open the cover.

2 Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6) in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

3 Slide the cover shut.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing.

If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.

Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.

The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor.

Speaker Sets A and B

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B. Speaker set A should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback.

*While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

Speaker set B can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.

Center speaker (SKC-360C)

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

*While speaker set B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.

Subwoofer (SKW-360)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the wall, as shown.

Speaker Set A: Main Room

Front left and right speakers (SKF-360F L/R)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.

Surround left and right speakers (SKM-360S L/R)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

*While speaker set B is on, these speakers output no sound.
