Onkyo SKS-4700 Instruction Manual

SPEAKER SYSTEM
SKS-4700
Thank you for your purchase 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 is therefore sensitive to
extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the speaker
systems in locations subjected to direct sunlight, or in smoky or in
humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifi er, bathroom,
or kitchen. Doing so may result in damage to the speaker.
● Place the unit on a rigid, level surface. Placing it on a slanted
surface or weak base not only may cause the unit to fall, but
also results in decreased sound quality.
● Be sure to turn off your amplifi er before connecting the speaker
system. Connecting them with the amplifi er's power on may result
in damage to the amplifi er or the speaker system.
● Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If water is spilled
into the unit, not only the unit but also the speakers themselves
may be damaged.
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
● 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.

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.
Instruction Manual
Connecting to AV 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.
