Precautions

1. Recording Copyright--Unless it's for personal use

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-

out the permission of the copyright holder.

2. AC Fuse--The AC fuse inside the HT-R820THX

and SKW-820 is not user-serviceable. If you cannot

turn on the HT-R820THX and SKW-820, contact

your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care--Occasionally you should dust the HT-S870

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 HT-S870 immediately

afterwards with a clean cloth. Don't use abrasive

cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents,

because they may damage the finish or remove the

panel lettering.

4. 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 HT-R820THX's

rear panel (e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY

does not fully shutdown the HT-R820THX. If you

do not intend to use the HT-R820THX for an

extended period, remove the power cord from the

AC outlet.

Memory backup

The HT-R820THX uses a battery-less memory backup

system in order to retain radio presets and other settings

when it's unplugged or in the case of a power failure.

Although no batteries are required, the HT-R820THX

must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the

backup system.

Once it has been charged, the HT-R820THX will retain

the settings for several weeks, although this depends on

the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

For U.S. models

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system

installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in partic-

ular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected

to the grounding system of the building, as close to the

point of cable entry as practical.

Speaker Precautions

Placement

· The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are

therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and

humidity, do not put them 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.

· If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howl-

ing or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this,

move the unit away from the turntable or CD player

otherwise lower the unit's 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-820F and SKC-

820C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situa-

tions, 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 neu-

tralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discol-

oration 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 that's too close to your TV or

monitor.

Do not place surround speakers close to TV or a com-

puter 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.

THX Select

Before any home theater component can be THX

Select certified, it must pass a rigorous series of qual-

ity and performance tests. Only then can a product

feature the THX Select logo, which is your guarantee

that the Home Theater products you purchase will

give you superb performance for many years to come.

THX Select requirements define hundreds of parame-

ters, including power amplifier performance, and pre-

amplifier performance and operation for both digital

and analog domains. THX Select receivers also fea-

ture proprietary THX technologies (e.g., THX Mode)

which accurately translate movie soundtracks for

home theater playback.
