Instruction Manual
Thank you for your purchase of the 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 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.

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.
