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

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

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

Package Contents

1. AC Fuse—The fuse is located inside the chassis
and is not userserviceable. If power does not come
on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station.

2. Care—From time to time you should wipe off the
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and
water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt.
Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these may damage
the finish or remove the panel lettering.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from hard-to­reach grilles.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl,
tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer’s feet
may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the
supplied pads underneath the subwoofer’s feet. The pads
also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
