Precautions

1. Recording Copyright

Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copy- right holder.

6. Color

In catalogs and on packaging, the letter added to the end of the product name indicates the color of the SL-107. Specifications and operation are the same regardless of color.

2. AC Fuse

The AC fuse inside the SL-107 is not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the SL-107, contact your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care

Occasionally you should dust the SL-107 all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth damp- ened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the SL-107 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 SECTION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the SL-107’s rear panel (AC 220–230 V, 50/60 Hz).

7. Precaution on use

If the following abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent may flow in the internal cir- cuits, causing burning or breakage of the wires:

1.Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.

2.Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting audio connection cables

3.Feedback when a microphone is used

4.Abnormal sound produced when bass-range signals are excessively boosted by the amplifier’s (or receiver’s) tone controls, a graphic equalizer, or a source with an abnormally boosted bass range. This state, called “rattling,” occurs when the signal is beyond the driver’s reproduction capacity. Although it is not a sign of damage, decrease the speaker output level to prevent damage to the driver.

5. Placement

•The enclosure is made of wood and is therefore sensi- tive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the unit in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, bathroom or kitchen, as well as in locations subject to soot or steam, such as near a kitchen table or humidi- fier. Otherwise, damage may occur.

•Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If water is spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also the connected amplifier (or receiver) may be dam- aged.

•Place the unit on a level and rigid surface free from vibration.

•Four slip-proof spacers are provided with the SL-107. If the SL-107 is to be placed on flooring or other sim- ilar surfaces, attach these spacers to the bottom sur- face at the corners. This will not only prevent scratching, but also provide a stable footing. However, note that depending on the surface, the spacers may leave markings.

•This unit is designed to be used in an upright vertical position only. Do not use it in a horizontal or tilted position.

•If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, feed- back or skipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable or CD player or otherwise lower the unit’s output level.
