The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userserviceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station.
3. Care
From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear panels and 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.

Various Mounting Methods
Front Speaker Bases
If you intend to stand the front speakers on the floor or on a TV stand or AV stand, you should attach the supplied front speaker bases. To do this, align the mounting holes in the base with base inserts on the front speaker’s rear panel, and secure by using four of the supplied fixing screws.

Wall Mounting
The front speakers, center speaker or surround speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied spacers to the keyhole fins on the rear of each speaker.
■ Mounting vertically
To mount the front speakers or surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.

The center speaker base is for mounting the center speaker horizontally. If you put it on a TV stand or AV stand, aim it toward the listening position. The center speaker should sit securely on the base. If it’s loose, try resetting it.
Note:
•If you put the center speaker on the floor, take it off the base and position it so that it’s facing slightly up toward the listener’s ears.

Caution:
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diameter of 9.5 mm or less and a shank diameter of 4 mm or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.
Leave a gap of between 7 mm and 10 mm between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.

Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•Turn off your amp before making any connections.
•The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8 Ω. Use only an amp that supports this impedance.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative
•Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
The
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In 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.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE
quency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output
from your subwoofer will depend Left on its position, the shape of your
listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at
Corner
Front left and right speakers
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 equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Right
Surround left and right speakers
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

Adjustment
Setting the Subwoofer Level
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

Caring for Your Speakers
Placement
•The speaker cabinets are made out of aluminum and are therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put them 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.
•As explained in this manual, mount the speakers on a wall, on the supplied bases, otherwise, they may fall, causing personal injury or damage to the speakers.
•Use commercially available speaker mounts and brackets to mount the surround speakers on a wall.
•Speakers with bases 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.
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
