Precautions

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-to-reach grilles.

3. Power WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (AC 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz (SKW-501), AC 230, 50 Hz (SKW-518)) written on the rear panel.

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
