Precautions

Speaker Precautions

1. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-

serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact

your Onkyo dealer.

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 condi-

tioner, humidiﬁer, 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, ﬂat surfaces

that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or

unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-

age, will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-

cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or

tilted position.

2. Care—Occasionally 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 deter-

gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards

with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-

ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because

they may damage the ﬁnish or remove the panel let-

tering.

3. Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE

FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-

TION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.

Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the

voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel

(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

• 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 unit’s

output level.

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 SKW-

750X, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

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 ﬁeld, thereby removing

any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems per-

sist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or

monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a

magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your

TV or monitor.

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.

Modèle pour les Canadien

Sur les modèles dont la ﬁche est polarisée:

ATTENTION: POUR ÉVITER LES CHOCS ÉLEC-

TRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS

LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRE-

SPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER

JUSQU’AU FOND.

Do not place SKM-750XS/SKB-750X close to TV or a

computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the speciﬁed input power when

used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-

lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is

within the speciﬁed rating, excessive current may ﬂow

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. Ampliﬁer oscillation.

5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (Always turn off your ampliﬁer

before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7. Microphone feedback.

Speaker Precautions—Continued

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, alco-

hol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could

damage the ﬁnish, 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 speak-

ers.

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, caus-

ing 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 ﬁre or

damage, such as near a ﬁreplace, heater, glass win-

dow, etc.

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 3/8" (9 mm) or less

and a shank diameter of 1/8" (3.5 mm) or less. With hol-

low 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" (6–8 mm)

between the wall and the base of the screw head, as

shown.

Subwoofer (SKW-750X)

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard ﬂoor (wood,

vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the sub-

woofer's feet may damage the ﬂooring. To prevent

this, place the supplied pads

■ Front

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 bal-

anced with the treble sounds from the other speakers.

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass

sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the sub-

woofer 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.

Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Turn off your receiver or amp before making any con-

nections.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Use the supplied cables to connect each

speaker’s 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 grip-

ping the bare wires, not the insulation.

• 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 (–) termi-

nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound

will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Be careful not to short the posi-

tive and negative wires. Doing so

may damage your amp.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the sub-

woofer’s LINE INPUT to your receiver’s SUB-

WOOFER PRE OUT.
