SKC-3600 (Center speaker)

Complements the sound effects from front left and right

speakers to enrich and clear the sound image and move-

ment. In movies, an actor's speech comes mainly from

the center speaker.

Place the center speaker as close as possible to the TV

or monitor, pointing it towards the listener's ears. Also,

keep the center speaker's height at the same level as the

front left and right speakers.

SKM-3600 (Surround left and right speakers)

Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by

giving three-dimensional sound movement to the sound

effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of the

listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ide-

ally, speakers should be placed symmetrically.

Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter

higher than that of the listener's ears.

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.

We recommend that you use the included cork spacers

so you can enjoy superior sound. The cork spacers also

prevent the speakers from slipping.

Mounting on a wall

Wall-mount the speakers upside down. Layer two spac-

ers and attach them to two locations. The plaques rotate

so that you can position the speakers upside down.

Attaching the brackets:

Use the included screws to attach the brackets to the

back of the speakers.

Caution:

· Make sure that the walls are rigid enough for support-

ing the speaker's weight.

· The weight a mounting screw can support varies

greatly depending on the wall material and the posi-

tion of the reinforcing ribs embedded in the wall. Use

the thickest and longest possible mounting screws

whose head diameter is less than 10 mm and shank

diameter is less than 4 mm (consult with your

installer).

· 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 Center, Surround Right and

Left speakers with the amplifier's corresponding

speaker terminals. Also, be sure that you are connect-

ing the speaker's positive (+) and negative () input

terminals with the amplifier's corresponding positive

and negative speaker terminals. Otherwise, undesir-

able 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 cir-

cuitry, never short-circuit the

positive (+) and negative ()

speaker wire.

The surround speaker bottom and rear are equipped

with screw holes so that you can attach commercially-

available stands or mounting fixtures for a variety of

mounting options. (Two M5 screw holes, 60 mm pitch

on the bottom and one M5 screw hole on the rear.)

Note:

When attaching an

accessory item to a

speaker, be careful

of the length of the

screws used. Use

only screws that

provide the required strength with a screw length

between 7 and 12 mm.

· 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.

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 SKC-

3600 is used near them, therefore, discoloration or dis-

tortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with a color

television set or computer, this speaker system is pro-

vided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discoloration

may still result, depending on the installation environ-

ment. 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-demagnetiz-

ing function of the television set or computer, improv-

ing the display condition.

Do not place SKM-3600 close to TV or a computer

monitor because it has no magnetic shield.

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.
