Speaker care
Your Onkyo speaker is 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.
If the speaker is 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 7.5 mm and shank
diameters less than 4 mm (please consult with your interior
designer or contractor).
Attach the supplied cushioning pads as shown to wall-mount the
speaker securely.
Placement
For better-quality sound, observe the following precautions when
you install the speaker system:
•Placingthespeaker system on severalsmall-diametersupports
generally results in better sound than placing it directly on a
wide installation surface. Also note that high quality bass
cannotbe obtained ifthespeaker system isunstablypositioned.
Always use thin discs of cork or metal (such as coins) to seat
the speaker stably.
•Placethe Rightand Leftsurround speakersinsimilarconditions.
If they are placed in extremely different conditions, left right
channel balance will be adversely affected.
When using as a Surround Back Speaker
It is very important to place your speakers properly to obtain the
optimum sound space for your listening pleasure.
The surround back speaker is required for enjoying Dolby Digital
EX or DTS-ES audio. The surround back speaker will also improve
the quality of sound effects for far more realistic acoustics.
Place the speaker so that its height is 1 meter higher than that of
the listner's ears.
