Onkyo SKF-4700 Instruction Manual

SPEAKER SYSTEM
SKR-4700
Thank you for purchasing of the Onkyo speaker system.
Please read this manual thoroughly before using it.
Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to
obtain optimum performance and listening enjoyment from
your new speaker system.
Please retain this manual for future reference.

Before using this unit

● The speaker cabinet is made of wood and sensitive to extreme
temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the speaker system
in locations subjected to direct sunlight or in humid places such
as near an air conditioner, bathroom, or kitchen.
● Be sure to turn off your amplifi er before connecting the speaker
system. Connecting it while the amplifi er is on may result in
damage to the amplifi er or the speaker system.
● The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 Ω. Use
only amplifi ers capable of handling this impedance.

Precaution on use

● This speaker system can handle the specifi ed input power
when it is used for ordinary music reproduction. If the following
abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent
may fl ow in the internal circuits, causing burning or breakage
of the wires even if the input power is below the specifi ed
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 instrument, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifi er 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 amplifi er's power
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Howling when a microphone is used.

Connections

● Turn the sound volume to the minimum and disconnect the power
cord from the amplifi er before connecting the speaker cables.
● The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 Ω. Use
only amplifi ers capable of handling this impedance.
● Use the supplied speaker cables to connect
between speaker's input terminals and the
amplifi er's speaker terminals as illustrated on
the right.
● Connect the speaker cables securely to the
terminals, with the core wires twisted properly.
In this case, make sure that the core wires do
not touch each other. Note that a short circuit in core wires
may result in damage to the amplifi er.

1. Strip the insulation of speaker
cables, and twist the core wires
tightly.
2. While pressing the lever, insert the
wire into the hole, and then release
the lever.
3. Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the core wires, not the
insulation.
Before turning on the amplifi er's power switch:
● Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker cables
do not contact each other. Otherwise, a short-circuit may occur,
causing damage to the amplifi er.
● Be sure to connect the speaker cables with correct polarity
(connect the speaker's positive (+) and negative (-) binding
posts with the amplifi er's corresponding speaker terminals).
Reversed polarity results in impaired bass-range reproduction,
causing mislocalization of the sound image. Also, be sure to
connect the Right and Left speakers with the amplifi er's
corresponding speaker terminals.
● Pull lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are
connected fi rmly.
