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 spacers 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 conditions, left right channel balance will be adversely affected.

SKC-4700 Center Speaker

Place the SKC-4700 as close as possible to your TV set, for example, above or below the TV set. Be sure to set the SKC-4700 firmly on the TV set or other equipment so that it cannot slip and fall. This is especially important if you have small children. If the SKC-4700 is to be placed on a TV set, be sure that:

The supporting area of the TV set is larger than that of the SKC- 4700.

The TV set’s support surface is flat and level.

The TV set is not placed on an unstable support.

SKM-4700 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 embedded in the wall. Use the thickest and longest possible mounting screws with mounting screw head diameters less than 9 mm and shank diameters less than 4 mm (consult with your interior designer or contractor).

Using spacers

Affix four of the supplied spacers to the SKC-4700/SKM-4700.

Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles (for SKC-4700 only)

The SKC-4700 uses detachable grilles. Use the following method to attach or detach the grilles.

1.While holding the long edge of the speaker grille with both hands, pull it gently toward you to remove that side of the grille.

2.In the same way, gently pull the other long edge of the speaker grille toward you to remove it from the main unit.

3.To replace the grille, push the projections at the corners into the grille plug holes on the speaker cabinet.

Removal Replacement

Use with a TV set

In general, Braun tubes used for color TV sets, etc. 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 TV sets, etc., this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding.

Even so, discoloration may still result, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of the TV set, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again. This activates the self-demagnetizing function of the TV set, improving the display condition. If discoloration persists even after performing this remedy, move the speaker apart from the TV set. Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other magnetizing object exists near the TV set because of the combined effect.

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.
