En-2 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 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 220­240 V, 50/60 Hz) written on the rear panel. Auto standby function does not fully shutdown the SKW-501. If you do not intend to use the SKW-501, remove the power cord from the AC outlet. The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

En-3 Getting to know Your Speaker Package Front speakers (SKF-501F) Rear Speaker Explanation with the Stand Removed 4 1 2 D Keyhole slots 3 A Stand fixing screw B Stand C Speaker cable Removing the Speaker Stands You can remove the stands from the speakers and place the speakers on the floor or in a cabinet if you like. The stands must be removed when the speakers are to be mounted on a wall by using the keyhole slots or commercially available speaker brackets. (A) (B) (C) 5 6 These keyhole slots can be used to wall-mount the speaker. E Speaker mount/bracket inserts These threaded inserts can be used to attach the speaker either horizontally or vertically to a speaker mount or bracket. Note: Use commercially available M5 (5 mm) screws to attach the speaker to a speaker mount or bracket. F Speaker terminals These push terminals are for connecting the speaker to your DVD/AV receiver with the speaker cables. The speaker cables are color-coded for easy identification. Simply connect each cable to the same-colored positive speaker terminal. Using the Rubber Spacers with the Speaker Stands Removed If you want to use the speakers without the stands, we recommend using the supplied rubber spacers to achieve the best possible sound. The rubber spacers prevent the speakers from moving around, providing a more stable setup. Rubber spacers 1. Remove screw (A), and then slide off the stand as shown. 2. Disconnect the wires from the speaker terminals. 3. Detach the speaker cables from the stand. Remove screws (B) and (C), remove the stand, and then detach the speaker cables. To replace the stand: Perform the above procedure in reverse order. First, connect the speaker cables, and then replace the screws in the following order: (C), (B), (A). Bottom of the speaker En-4 Getting to know Your Speaker Package--Continued Wall Mounting The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied spacers to the keyhole fins on the rear of each speaker. Mounting vertically To mount the front speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall. Rubber spacers Subwoofer (SKW-501) Front 1 Rear Keyhole slot for vertical wall mounting 2 To AC outlet 3 Caution: A mounting screw's ability to support a speaker depends on how well it's anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diameter of 9 mm or less and a shank diameter of 4 mm or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes. Leave a gap of between 5 mm and 10 mm between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. Wall A STANDBY/ON indicator Red: Blue: Subwoofer in standby mode Subwoofer on With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-501 automatically turns on when an input signal is detected in Standby mode. When there's no input signal for a while, the SKW-501 automatically enters Standby mode. B OUTPUT LEVEL control This control is used to adjust the volume of the subwoofer. C LINE INPUT This RCA input should be connected to the subwoofer pre out on your DVD/AV receiver with supplied RCA cable. 5 mm ­ 10 mm (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.) 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 DVD/AV receiver. Using Floor Pads with Subwoofer If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer. En-5 Connecting the Speakers Read the following before connecting your speakers: · Turn off your DVD/AV receiver before making any connections. · Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections. · Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (­) terminals to only negative (­) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. · Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your DVD/AV receiver. Speaker Placement Front left and right speakers (SKF-501F) They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward. Right Left Connecting the Speaker Cables Use the speaker cables to connect each speaker's input terminals to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your DVD/AV receiver. Match the color of each cable to the corresponding speaker terminal. To make a connection, while pressing the terminal lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation. Subwoofer (SKW-501) 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 listenin ...
