Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance. 11. Power Sources ­ The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. 12. Grounding or Polarization ­ The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 13. Power-Cord Protection ­ Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. 14. Lightning ­ For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges. 15. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 16. Object and Liquid Entry ­ Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shortout parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance. 17. Servicing ­ Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 2 Important Safeguards--Continued 18.

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. AC Fuse The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userserviceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station. 2. 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. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents 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. 3. Power WARNING BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.

When there's no input signal for a while, the SKW-320X automatically enters Standby mode. 2 OUTPUT LEVEL control This control is used to adjust the volume of the subwoofer. 3 LINE INPUT This RCA input should be connected to the subwoofer preout on your AV receiver, or other receiver with supplied RCA cable. Note: The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reliably, try slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on your receiver or amp. Front, Center & Surround Speakers (SKF-320F, SKC-320C, SKM-320S) I Rear 2 1 1 Speaker terminals These push terminals are for connecting the speaker to your HT-R320, or other receiver with the supplied speaker cables. The supplied speaker cables are color-coded for easy identification. Simply connect each cable to the same colored positive speaker terminal. 2 Keyhole slot These keyhole slots can be used to wall-mount the speaker. 4 About Home Theater Enjoying Home Theater The HTP-320's great sound means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home--just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. Front left and right speakers These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex. 1/3 1/3 Center speaker This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it's used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height 1/3 as the front left and right speakers. Put it somewhere where it won't slide around or fall. Right Subwoofer The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your Left listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown. (SKM-320S) (SKM-320S) Surround left and right speakers These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2­3 feet (60­100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener. Wall-mounting the surround speakers If the surround 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 long screws with a head diameter of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) or less. (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.) 5 Connecting the Speakers Read the following before connecting your speakers: · Turn off your amp before ...
