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 damag-
ing the diaphragm.
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 better-
quality 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 Left-
channel 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 sound-
absorbing 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.

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.
