Connections

●

Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting the speaker
system.

●

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 the
speaker’s input terminals and the amplifier’s speaker terminals
as illustrated below.

●

Be sure that you are connecting the speaker’s positive (+) and
negative (–) input terminals with the amplifier’s corresponding
positive and negative speaker terminals. Otherwise, undesirable
sound field or impaired bass-range reproduction will result.

●

Before turning on the amplifier’s power switch, pull lightly on
the speaker cables to ensure that they are connected securely.

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.

Placement

For better-quality sound, observe the following precautions when
you install the speaker system:

• Placing the speaker system on several small-diameter supports
generally results in better sound than placing it directly on a
wide installation surface. Also note that high quality bass
cannot be obtained if the speaker system is unstably positioned.
Always use thin discs of cork or metal (such as coins) to seat
the speaker stably.

• Place the Right and Left surround speakers in similar conditions.
If they are placed in extremely different conditions, left right
channel balance will be adversely affected.

If the speaker is to be wall-mounted, make sure that the walls are
strong enough to support the speaker’s weight. The weight that
mounting screws can support varies greatly depending on the wall
material and the position of the reinforcing ribs embedded in the
wall. Use the thickest and longest possible mounting screws with
mounting screw head diameters less than 7.5 mm and shank
diameters less than 4 mm (please consult with your interior
designer or contractor).

Attach the supplied cushioning pads as shown to wall-mount the
speaker securely.

When using as a Surround Back Speaker

It is very important to place your speakers properly to obtain the
optimum sound space for your listening pleasure.

The surround back speaker is required for enjoying Dolby Digital
EX or DTS-ES audio. The surround back speaker will also improve
the quality of sound effects for far more realistic acoustics.

Place the speaker so that its height is 1 meter higher than that of
the listner's ears.

Speaker care

Your Onkyo speaker is finished with a very high quality polymer
laminate covering that serves to protect the wood speaker cabinet.
Wipe the cabinet periodically with a dry, silicon-embedded or plain
soft cloth.
The covering may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with water
and a mild soap. Avoid the use of furniture polishes or harsh
cleansers.
Use a soft brush or hand vacuum cleaner to remove dust and lint
from the grille material.
