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 Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers and iron parts near the tweeter since they use speakers with strong magnets. Otherwise, the objects may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the diaphragm.

Use with a TV set
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets, etc. are extremely sensitive and can be affected even by the magnetism of the earth. If a speaker system is used near them, therefore, discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with color television sets, etc., this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discoloration may still result, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of the television set, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again. This activates the self-demagnetizing function of the television set, improving the display condition. If discoloration persists even after performing this remedy, move the speaker apart from the television set. Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other magnetizing object exists near the television because of the combined effect.

Speaker care
Your Onkyo speakers are 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.

Placement
The sound quality a speaker system reproduces varies greatly depending on the construction and area of the room where it is installed, as well as the location and size of the furniture. For betterquality sound, observe the following precautions. Avoid placing the speaker system on an elevated object such as on concrete blocks. Instead, place it on a rigid floor surface with minimal vibration. Also note that high-quality bass cannot be obtained if the speaker system is unstably positioned. Generally speaking, placing the speaker system on several small-diameter supports results in better bass than placing it directly on the installation surface. Moreover, if you feel the bass reproduced by the system is too weak, move the speaker system closer to the wall behind it. You can thus control the strength of the reproduced bass by the position of the speakers. In many rooms, the furniture and wall affect the reproduced sound quality. For stereo sound reproduction, placing the Right and Left speakers in the same condition produces the best results. If they are placed in extremely different conditions, the Right- and Leftchannel balance will be adversely affected. The ideal placement of the speaker system is as follows: Imagine an equilateral triangle and position the Right and Left speakers on both ends of the base. The ideal listening position is at or slightly to the rear of the triangle apex. Glazed doors or surrounding walls in front of the speaker system may cause the resonance of specific frequency ranges due to reflected sound. To eliminate this resonance, place some soundabsorbing material such as a thick curtain in front of the doors or walls.

Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles
This speaker system uses detachable grilles. Use the following method to attach or detach the grilles. 1. While holding the bottom edge of the speaker grille with your both hands, pull it gently toward you to remove the bottom of the grille. 2. In the same way, gently pull the upper edge of the speaker grille toward you to remove it from the main unit. 3. To replace the grill, push the projections at the corners into the grille plug holes on the speaker cabinet.
