SPEAKER SYSTEM

SKR-4700

Thank you for purchasing of the Onkyo speaker system. Please read this manual thoroughly before using it. Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain optimum performance and listening enjoyment from your new speaker system.

Please retain this manual for future reference.

●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.

●The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 Ω. Use only ampliﬁers capable of handling this impedance.

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 instrument, 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.

Connections

●Turn the sound volume to the minimum and disconnect the power cord from the ampliﬁer before connecting the speaker cables.

●The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 Ω. Use only ampliﬁers capable of handling this impedance.

●Use the supplied speaker cables to connect between speaker’s input terminals and the

ampliﬁer’s speaker terminals as illustrated on the right.

● Connect the speaker cables securely to the terminals, with the core wires twisted properly.

In this case, make sure that the core wires do

not touch each other. Note that a short circuit in core wires may result in damage to the ampliﬁer.

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.

Before turning on the ampliﬁer’s power switch:

●Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker cables do not contact each other. Otherwise, a short-circuit may occur, causing damage to the ampliﬁer.

●Be sure to connect the speaker cables with correct polarity (connect the speaker’s positive (+) and negative (-) binding posts with the ampliﬁer’s corresponding speaker terminals). Reversed polarity results in impaired bass-range reproduction, causing mislocalization of the sound image. Also, be sure to connect the Right and Left speakers with the ampliﬁer’s corresponding speaker terminals.

●Pull lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are connected ﬁrmly.
