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 . Outdoor Antenna Grounding —If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the appli­ance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead­in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of ground­ing conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and require­ments for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
15. 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.
16 .Power Lines —An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Important Safeguards —Continued
17. Overloading —Do not overload wall outlets, exten­sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry —Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. 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.
20. Damage Requiring Service —Unplug the appliance 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 appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance does not operate normally by follow-
ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those con­trols that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in per-
formance – this indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts —When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, elec­tric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check —Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appli­ance is in proper operation condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting —The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom­mended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat —The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that pro­duce heat.

Precautions
1. Recording Copyright —Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with­out the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse —The AC fuse inside the TX-8011
Receiver is not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the TX-8011 Receiver, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care —Occasionally you should dust the TX-8011
Receiver all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solu­tion of mild detergent and water. Dry the TX-8011 Receiver immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC­TION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the TX-8011 Receiver’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the TX-8011 Receiver. If you do not intend to use the TX-8011 Receiver for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
Memory backup
The TX-8011 uses a battery-less memory backup sys­tem in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the TX-8011 Receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. Once it has been charged, the TX-8011 Receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
For U.S. models

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-8011 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the TX-8011 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote con­troller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con­troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert­ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-8011 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the TX-8011’s remote control sensor.

Connecting Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega­tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.
• The impedance of each speaker connected to this unit must be no lower than 4 ohms. If you’re using only speakers A or speakers B, the minimum speaker impedance is 4 ohms. If you’re using both speakers A and speaker B, the minimum speaker impedance is 8 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative connections. Doing so may damage the TX-8011.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-8011.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting the antenna horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected. Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using your TX-8011, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
Power
Can’t turn on the TX-8011?
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds or more, then plug the cable in again.
The TX-8011 turns off as soon as it’s turned on?
• The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi­ately and contact your Onkyo dealer.
Audio
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet?
• The speakers are turned off. Turn on speakers A or speaker B (see page 17).
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (pages 11–15).
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo­nents are properly connected (page 11–15).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct and that the bare wires are in contact with metal part of each speaker terminal (page 11)
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected (page 17).
• If the AUDIO MUTE indicator is shown on the dis­play, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the TX-8011 (page 17).
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car­tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp (page 14).
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent, twisted, or damaged.
• No sound is heard while the T-2 MONITOR indicator is on. Press the [TAPE 2 MONITOR] button.
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.
• The turntable and speakers are located too close to each other. Position them further apart.
Tuner
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the STEREO indicator doesn’t appear?
• Relocate your antenna.
•Move the TX-8011 away from your TV or computer.
• Press the [FM MODE] button to select FM MUTE OFF (page 19).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.
•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor­rect polarity (page 10).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat­teries, or old and new batteries (page 10).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the TX-8011, and that there’s no obstruc­tion between the remote controller and the TX-8011’s remote control sensor (page 10).
Make sure that the TX-8011 is not subjected to direct sunlight, or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.
• If the TX-8011 is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.
• When using the remote controller to control other components, some buttons may not work as expected.
• Make sure that the cable and analog audio cable are connected properly. Connecting only an cable won’t work (page 15).
The TX-8011 contains a microcomputer for signal pro­cessing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
