6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type

plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly

at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit

from the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12 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.
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

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

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 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. For models with [POWER] button, or with
both [POWER] and [ON/STANDBY] buttons: Pressing the [POWER]
button to select OFF mode does not fully disconnect from the mains.
If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove
the power cord from the AC outlet. For models with [ON/STANDBY]
button only: Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select Standby
mode does not fully disconnect from the mains. If you do not intend
to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from
the AC outlet.

IMPOR TANT

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.

IMPOR TANT

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.

Declaration of Conformity

We declare, under our sole responsibility, that this
product complies with the standards:

-Safety

- Limits and methods of measurement of radio
disturbance characteristics

- Limits for harmonic current emissions

- Limitation of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker

- RoHS Directive, 2011/65/EU

- Hereby, Onkyo Corporation, declares that this LS-T30 is in

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 su nlight 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.

Safety precautions

≥ 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.

Use wit h 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, discoloring or distortion of
pictures will occur. These speakers are not provided with magnetic
shielding. If discoloration or dis tortion occurs, move the speaker s apart
from the television set.

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.
