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 
below.

  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.
