Precautions

1. Recording Copyright

—Unless it’s for personal use 

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without 
the permission of the copyright holder.

2. AC Fuse

—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-

serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact 
your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care

—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over 

with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth 
dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and 
water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a 
clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, 
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may 
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

4. Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE 
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION 
CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. 
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the 
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel 
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit 
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is 
readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

For models with [

POWER

] button, or with both 

[

POWER

] and [

ON/STANDBY

] buttons:

Pressing the [

POWER

] button to select OFF mode 

does not fully disconnect from the mains. If you do 
not intend to use the unit for an extended period, 
remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

For models with [

ON/STANDBY

] button only:

Pressing the [

ON/STANDBY

] button to select 

Standby mode does not fully disconnect from the 
mains. If you do not intend to use the unit for an 
extended period, remove the power cord from the AC 
outlet.

Placement

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is 

therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and 
humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct 
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air 
conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

• Do not put water or other liquids close to the subwoofer. 

If liquid is spilled over the subwoofer, the drive units 
may be damaged.

• Subwoofer should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces 

that are free from vibration. Putting it on uneven or 
unstable surfaces, where it may fall and cause damage, 
will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical 

position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted 
position.

• If the subwoofer is used near a turntable, CD player or 

DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. 
To prevent this, move it away from the turntable, CD 
player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s output 
level.

Connection

With other audio-video components, connect the 
subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to the subwoofer pre out jack 
of your equipment. Never plug any kind of musical 
instrument to the subwoofer.

Supplied Accessories

• Power cords

(The plug type varies from country to country. From the 
two supplied power cords, choose the one whose plug 
matches the type of your AC wall outlet.)

• Pin connector cable 3 m

• 4 floor pads for the subwoofer

*

In catalogs and on packaging, the letter added to the end of the 
product name indicates the color of the 

SKW-770

Specifications and operation are the same regardless of color.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer

If the subwoofer is placed 
on a hard floor (wood, 
vinyl, tile, etc.) and 
playback is very loud, the 
subwoofer’s feet may 
damage the flooring. 
To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the 
subwoofer’s feet. The pads also provide a stable base for 
the subwoofer.
