Precautions

 

1. Recording Copyright

 

—Unless it’s for personal use 

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.

 

2. AC Fuse

 

—The AC fuse inside the TX-LR552 is not 

user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the 
TX-LR552, contact your Onkyo dealer.

 

3. Care

 

—Occasionally you should dust the 

TX-LR552 all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn 
stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water. Dry the TX-LR552 
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 SEC-
TION CAREFULLY.
AC  outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the TX-LR552’s
rear panel (e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

Setting the [STANDBY/ON] button to STANDBY
does not fully shutdown the TX-LR552. If you do
not intend to use the TX-LR552 for an extended
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

 

Memory backup

 

The TX-LR552 uses a battery-less memory backup sys-
tem in order to retain radio presets and other settings 
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. 
Although no batteries are required, the TX-LR552 must 
be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the 
backup system.
Once it has been charged, the TX-LR552 will retain the 
settings for several weeks, although this depends on the 
environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

 

For U.S. models

 

Note to CATV system installer:

 

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system 
installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which 
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in partic-
ular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected 
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the 
point of cable entry as practical.
