WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
11. Power Sources – The appliance should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may
be equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
14. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of
any kind into the appliance through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or shortout parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
17. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

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.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from hard-to-reach
grilles.

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.

Mounting holes
Wall Mounting
The front speakers, center speaker, and 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.

Center Speaker Base
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.

Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets
Threaded inserts for M5 screws are provided on the rear
of each speaker for wall-mounting with commercially
available speaker mounts and brackets. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installation details.

Note:
The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker’s
threaded insert should be between 5–9 mm long.

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 (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound
will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so
may damage your amp.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Use the cables to connect each speaker’s
1
input terminals to the corresponding
speaker output terminals on your amp.
To make a connection, while
pressing the terminal lever,
insert the wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
Connecting the Subwoofer
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect
1
the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your amp’s
SUBWOOFER PREOUT.
