18.
Damage Requiring Service
– Unplug the appli-
ance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following con-
ditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or
water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in
any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in
performance – this indicates a need for service.
19.
Replacement Parts
– When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, elec-
tric shock, or other hazards.
20.
Safety Check
– Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the appliance
is in proper operation condition.
21.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting
– The appliance should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
22.
Heat
– The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other appliances (including amplifiers) that pro-
duce heat.
23.
Liquid Hazards
– The appliance should not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases should be placed
on the appliance.
Precautions
1. Mounting
Mount the speakers as explained in this manual. Don’t
use the front speakers without their bases as damage or
injury may result.
Use commercially available speaker mounts and brack-
ets to mount the surround speakers on a wall.
2. AC Fuse
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userser-
viceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo
authorized service station.
3. Care
From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear
panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt,
dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent
and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Follow-
ing this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use
rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol-
vents or cloths since these may damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from hard-to-reach
grilles.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.

according to country or region. Be sure that the power
supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used
meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz) writ-
ten on the rear panel.
