8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-

tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two

blades with one wider than the other. A grounding

type plug has two blades and a third grounding

prong. The wide blade or the third prong are pro-

vided for your safety. If the provided plug does not

fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta-

cles, and the point where they exit from the appara-

tus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or table spec-

ified by the manufacturer, or

sold

with

the

apparatus.

When a cart is used, use cau-

tion when moving the cart/

apparatus

combination

avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has

been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate

normally, or has been dropped.

15. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the apparatus,

C. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or

water,

D. If the apparatus does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,

E. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in

any way, and

F. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

16. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus

through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-

age points or short-out parts that could result in a

fire or electric shock.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or

splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as

vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

this unit.

17. Batteries

Always consider the environmental issues and fol-

low local regulations when disposing of batteries.

18. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation,

such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is ade-

quate ventilation.

Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides

and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf

or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4")

away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like

gap for warm air to escape.

Precautions

1. AC Fuse

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userser-

viceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo

authorized service station.

2. Care

From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear

panels and 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. Follow-

ing this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use

rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol-

vents 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

Speaker Package

A STANDBY/ON indicator

Red:

Subwoofer in standby mode

Green: Subwoofer on

With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-520

automatically turns on when an input signal is

detected in Standby mode. When there's no input

signal for a while, the SKW-520 automatically

enters Standby mode.

B OUTPUT LEVEL control

This control is used to adjust the volume of the sub-

woofer.

C LINE INPUT

This RCA input should be connected to the sub-

woofer pre out on your AV receiver, amp, or other

receiver with supplied RCA cable.

If you are also using the HT-R520:

Connect this input to the subwoofer pre out of the

HT-R520.

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 receiver or amp.

Connecting the

Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

·Turn off your amp before making any connections.

·Pay close attention to speaker

wiring polarity. Connect positive

(+) terminals to only positive (+)

terminals, and negative () termi-

nals 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 positive and negative wires.

Doing so may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

sponding speaker output terminals on

your AV receiver.

Match the color of each cable to the correspond-

ing 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.

About Home Theater

The Home Theater means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home--just

like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

Enjoying Home Theater

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the

sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant

from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speak-

ers, making sound movements distinct and providing

a full sound image. In movies it's used mainly for dia-

log.

Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear

level, or at the same height as the front left and right

speakers.

Put it somewhere where it won't slide around or fall.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass

sounds of the LFE (Low-Fre-

quency Effects) channel. The vol-

ume and quality of the bass output

from your subwoofer will depend

on its position, the shape of your

listening room, and your listening

position. In general, a good bass

sound can be obtained by install-

ing the subwoofer in a front cor-

ner, or at one-third the width of the

wall, as shown.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning

and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the

sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 23 feet

(60100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be

equidistant from the listener.

Wall-mounting the surround speakers

If the surround speakers are 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 long screws with a head diameter of 1/4 inch

(6.3 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8 inch

(3.5 mm) or less. (We recommend that you consult a

home installation professional.)

Left

Corner

1/3 room

length

Surround back speaker

This speaker further enhances the real-

ism of surround sound and improves

sound localization behind the listener.

Position it behind the listener about 2

3 feet (60100 cm) above ear level.

Make sure that the listening position is

within the range of the speaker.
