Front left and right speakers

Output overall sound. They play the most important role

in a home theater system, by creating basic sound

images and fields.

Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that

they point to the listener's ears in the listening position

for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is so that

they are located symmetrically.

The speaker cabinet is made of wood and sensitive to

extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the

speaker system in locations subjected to direct sunlight

or in humid places such as near an air conditioner, bath-

room, or kitchen.

Before making speaker connection, attach the supplied

speaker bases to the SKF-3600.

1. Turn the speaker upside down.

2. Match the screw halls on the speaker base to those

on the speaker, and fix the base to the speaker using

screws.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

· When attaching the speaker bases, work with them on

a flat, level, and solid floor.

· After attached the speaker bases, verify that the

speakers stand upright and stably.

Using the speaker cable hook

The supplied speaker base has a speaker cable hook. It

is recommended that you hook the cables on the hook to

avoid cable congestion.

Placement

Using the included speaker bases

· Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting

the speaker system. Connecting it while the amplifier

is on may result in damage to the amplifier or the

speaker system.

· The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8

Use only amplifiers capable of handling this imped-

ance.

· Use the supplied speaker cables to connect between

the speaker's input terminals and the amplifier's

speaker terminals as illustrated below.

· Be sure to connect the Right and Left speakers with

the amplifier's corresponding speaker terminals.

Also, be sure that you are connecting the speaker's

positive (+) and negative () input terminals with the

amplifier's corresponding positive and negative

speaker terminals. Otherwise, undesirable sound field

or impaired bass-range reproduction will result.

· Before turning on the amplifier's power switch, pull

lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are

connected securely.

· To prevent damage to circuitry,

never short-circuit the positive

(+) and negative () speaker

wire.

· This speaker system can handle the specified input

power when it is used for ordinary music reproduc-

tion. If the following abnormal signals are fed to the

speaker, however, an overcurrent may flow in the

internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of the

wires even if the input power is below the specified

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 instruments, etc.

4. Oscillating amplifier signals

5. Special test signals produced by audio checking

CD, etc.

6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnect-

ing audio connection cables (Always turn off the

amplifier's power before connecting or discon-

necting cables.)

7. Howling when a microphone is used

· Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers

and iron parts near the speaker system since they use

speakers with strong magnets. Otherwise, the objects

may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the dia-

phragm.

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.

Both SKC-3600 and SKM-3600 come with SKS-3600.

Your Onkyo speakers are finished with a very high qual-

ity polymer laminate covering that serves to protect the

wood speaker cabinet.

The covering may be cleaned with a soft cloth moist-

ened with water and a mild soap. Avoid the use of furni-

ture polishes or harsh cleansers.

Use a soft brush or hand vacuum cleaner to remove dust

and lint from the grille material.

In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets

and computers are extremely sensitive and can be

affected even by the magnetism of the earth. If a speaker

system is used near them, therefore, discoloration or

distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with a

color television set or computer, this speaker system is

provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discolora-

tion may still result, depending on the installation envi-

ronment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of

the television set or computer, wait for 15 to 30 minutes

and then turn it on again. This activates the self-demag-

netizing function of the television set or computer,

improving the display condition.

Note:

If discoloration persists even after performing this rem-

edy, move the speaker apart from the television set or

computer. Discoloration may also be caused when a

magnet or other magnetizing object exists near the tele-

vision or computer because of the combined effect.
