SPEAKER SYSTEM

SKS-4700

Thank you for your purchase 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.

Before using this unit

The speaker cabinet is made of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the speaker systems in locations subjected to direct sunlight, or in smoky or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen. Doing so may result in damage to the speaker.

Place the unit on a rigid, level surface. Placing it on a slanted surface or weak base not only may cause the unit to fall, but also results in decreased sound quality.

Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting the speaker system. Connecting them with the amplifier's power on may result in damage to the amplifier or the speaker system.

Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If water is spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also the speakers themselves may be damaged.

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

Instruction Manual

Connecting to AV 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.

Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers and iron

parts near the tweeter since they use speakers with strong

magnets. Otherwise, the objects may be attracted, causing

injury or damaging the diaphragm.

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.

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.
