Important Safeguards

1. Read Instructions All the safety and operating

instructions should be read before the appliance is

operated.

2. Retain Instructions The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings All warnings on the appliance and

in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions All operating and use

instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning Unplug the appliance from the wall out-

let before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned

only as recommended by the manufacturer.

6. Attachments Do not use attachments not recom-

mended by the appliance manufacturer as they may

cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture Do not use the appliance near

water for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,

kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or

near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories Do not place the appliance on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The

appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child

or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use

only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-

ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the

appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should

follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should

use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

9. An appliance and cart com-

bination should be moved

with

care.

Quick

stops,

excessive force, and uneven

surfaces

may

cause

the

appliance and cart combina-

tion to overturn.

10. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable oper-

ation of the appliance and to protect it from over-

heating, and these openings must not be blocked or

covered. The openings should never be blocked by

placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar surface. The appliance should not be placed

in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack

unless proper ventilation is provided. There should

be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an open-

ing behind the appliance.

11. Power Sources The appliance should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

power supply to your home, consult your appliance

dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization The appliance may

be equipped with a polarized alternating current line

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).

This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert

the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-

cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat

the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or

against them, paying particular attention to cords at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where

they exit from the appliance.

14. Lightning For added protection for the appliance

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-

tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug

it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or

cable system. This will prevent damage to the appli-

ance due to lightning and power-line surges.

15. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, exten-

sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as

this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of

any kind into the appliance through openings as

they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-

out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

17. Servicing Do not attempt to service the appliance

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all

servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO

NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-

SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING

TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an

equilateral

triangle, is intended to alert the user to

the presence of uninsulated

"dangerous voltage"

within the product's enclosure that may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in

the literature accompanying the appliance.

Important Safeguards--Continued

18. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the appli-

ance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following con-

ditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the appliance,

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or

water,

D. If the appliance does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the appliance to its normal operation,

E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in

any way, and

F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

19. Replacement Parts When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or

have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, elec-

tric shock, or other hazards.

20. Safety Check Upon completion of any service or

repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the appliance

is in proper operation condition.

21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting The appliance should

be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

22. Heat The appliance should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,

or other appliances (including amplifiers) that pro-

duce heat.

23. Liquid Hazards The appliance should not be

exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects

filled with liquids, such as vases should be placed

on the appliance.

Precautions

1. Mounting

Mount the speakers as explained in this manual. Don't

use the front or surround speakers without their bases or

optional stands as damage or injury may result.

2. AC Fuse

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userser-

viceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo

authorized service station.

3. Care

From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear

panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt,

dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent

and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Follow-

ing this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use

rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol-

vents or cloths since these may damage the finish or

remove the panel lettering.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from hard-to-reach

grilles.

4. Power
