Precautions

1. AC FuseThe AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer. 2. CareOccasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Dont use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the nish or remove the panel lettering. 3. Power WARNING BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the units rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz). 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. Auto standby function does not fully shutdown the SKW-750X. If you do not intend to use the SKW750X, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

Speaker Precautions

Placement
The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidier, bathroom, or kitchen. Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged. Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, at surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality. Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position. If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the units output level.
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-750XF and SKC-750XC feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic eld, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool thats too close to your TV or monitor. Do not place SKM-750XS/SKB-750X close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

For Canadian models

For models having a power cord with a polarized plug: CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specied input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specied rating, excessive current may ow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. 2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape. 3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on. 4. Amplier oscillation. 5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. 6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplier before connecting or disconnecting cables.) 7. Microphone feedback.
Speaker PrecautionsContinued

Speaker care

Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the nish, remove the panel lettering, or cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions that come with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.

Power Cord Precautions

Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components. Turning on the SKW-750X may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the SKW-750X into a different branch circuit.
Speaker Stand AS-140 Precautions
1. Be sure to tighten the screws when you assemble the speaker stands and attach the brackets to the speakers. 2. The speaker stands are tall. Install the stands in a manner that will not allow the speakers to tip over. You may want to use commercially available chains to prevent the stands from falling in the event of an earthquake. 3. Do not place the stands on an unstable table, slope, or thick carpet. Otherwise, the stands may fall, causing injury. 4. Place the stands in a location in which they would not cause injury if they accidentally fell. 5. Do not place the stands in an area at risk of re or damage, such as near a replace, heater, glass window, etc.

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 ns 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 thats securely screwed into the wall.

Rubber spacers

Caution: A mounting screws ability to support a speaker depends on how well its 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 3/8" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (3.5 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 1/4" and 5/16" (68 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.

Subwoofer (SKW-750X)

Front

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard oor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the ooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
Setting the Subwoofer Level
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, theres a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-750X automatically turns on when an input signal is detected in Standby mode. When theres no input signal for a while, the SKW-750X 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 AV 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 the AV receiver.

Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers: Turn off your receiver or amp 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 amp.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Use the supplied cables to connect each speakers input terminals to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your 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.
