Use with a TV set

In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets 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 color television sets, etc., the SKC-101 Center Speaker

system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discolora-

tion may still result, depending on the installation environment. If

discoloration occurs, turn off the television set, wait 15 to 30

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

demagnetizing function of the television set, improving display

quality. If discoloration persists even after performing this

remedy, move the speaker further from the television set.

Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other

magnetized object is near the television because of the com-

bined effect.

Before using this unit

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, bathroom, or kitchen.

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.

Connections

Turn the sound volume to the minimum and disconnect the

power cord to the amplifier before connecting the speaker

cables.

The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 . Use

only amplifiers capable of handling this impedance.

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 surround 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 corre-

sponding 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.

Precaution on use

This speaker system can handle the specified input power

when it is used for ordinary music reproduction. 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 disconnecting

audio connection cables (Always turn off the amplifier's

power before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7. Howling when a microphone is used

Warranty Claim

You can find the serial number on the rear panel of the unit.

In case of warranty claim, please report this number.

Speaker care

Your Onkyo speakers are finished with a very high quality

polymer laminate covering that serves to protect the wood

speaker cabinet.

Wipe the cabinet periodically with a dry, silicon-embedded or

plain soft cloth.

The covering may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with

water and a mild soap. Avoid the use of furniture polishes or

harsh cleansers.

Use a soft brush or hand vacuum cleaner to remove dust and

lint from the grille material.

Placement

For better-quality sound, observe the following precautions

when you install the speaker system:

· Placing the speaker system on several small-diameter

supports generally results in better sound than placing it

directly on a wide installation surface. Also note that high

quality bass cannot be obtained if the speaker system is

unstably positioned. Always use the supplied spacers (black)

or thin metal discs (such as coins) to seat the speaker

stably.

· Place the Right and Left surround speakers in similar

conditions. If they are placed in extremely different condi-

tions, left right channel balance will be adversely affected.

SKC-101 Center Speaker

Place the SKC-101 as close as possible to your television set,

for example, above or below the television set. Be sure to set

the SKC-101 firmly on the television set or other equipment so

that it cannot slip and fall. This is especially important if you

have small children. If the SKC-101 is to be placed on a televi-

sion set, be sure that:

· The supporting area of the TV is larger than that of the SKC

101.

· The TV's support surface is flat and level.

· The TV is not placed on an unstable support.

If the SKC-101 is placed on a television set or other equipment,

use the supplied spacers (black) to protect the surface finish

and to prevent slipping. (Attach the spacers properly to the

bottom of the speaker, depending on the installation orientation.)

SKR-101 Surround Speaker

If the speakers are to be wall-mounted, make sure that the walls

are strong enough to support the speaker's weight. The weight

that mounting screws can support varies greatly depending on

the wall material and the position of the reinforcing ribs embed-

ded in the wall. Use the thickest and longest possible mounting

screws with mounting screw head diameters less than 10 mm

and shank diameters less than 4 mm (consult with your interior

designer or contractor).

Attach the supplied cushioning pads as shown to wall-mount the

speaker securely.
