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.
