Attach the supplied speaker stand at the bottom of each speaker
cabinet using the supplied screws as shown in the figure below.
For better sound quality, you are recommended to attach the supplied
cork spacer on the speaker stand.
In addition to the sound quality improvement, attaching the cork
spacers also provide non-sliding and stabilizing effects for the speaker
cabinet.

This speaker system uses detachable grilles. Use the following
method to attach or detach the grilles.

1. While holding the bottom edge of the speaker grille with your both

hands, pull it gently toward you to remove the bottom of the grille.

2. In the same way, gently pull the upper edge of the speaker grille

toward you to remove it from the main unit.

3. To replace the grill, push the projections at the corners into the

grille plug holes on the speaker cabinet.

In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets, etc. are
extremely sensitive and can be affected even by the magnetism of the
earth. If a speaker system is used near them, therefore, discoloration
or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with color television
sets, etc., this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding.
Even so, discoloration may still result, depending on the installation
environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of the television
set, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again. This activates
the self-demagnetizing function of the television set, improving the
display condition. If discoloration persists even after performing this
remedy, move the speaker apart from the television set. Discoloration
may also be caused when a magnet or other magnetizing object exists
near the television because of the combined effect.

Your Onkyo speakers are 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.

The sound quality a speaker system reproduces varies greatly
depending on the construction and area of the room where it is
installed, as well as the location and size of the furniture. For better-
quality sound, observe the following precautions.

• Avoid placing the speaker system on an elevated object such as

on concrete blocks. Instead, place it on a rigid floor surface with
minimal vibration. Also note that high-quality bass cannot be
obtained if the speaker system is unstably positioned. Generally
speaking, placing the speaker system on several small-diameter
supports results in better bass than placing it directly on the
installation surface. Moreover, if you feel the bass reproduced by
the system is too weak, move the speaker system closer to the
wall behind it. You can thus control the strength of the reproduced
bass by the position of the speakers.

• In many rooms, the furniture and wall affect the reproduced sound

quality. For stereo sound reproduction, placing the Right and Left
speakers in the same condition produces the best results. If they
are placed in extremely different conditions, the Right- and Left-
channel balance will be adversely affected.

• The ideal placement of the speaker system is as follows: Imagine

an equilateral triangle and position the Right and Left speakers on
both ends of the base. The ideal listening position is at or slightly
to the rear of the triangle apex.

• Glazed doors or surrounding walls in front of the speaker system may

cause the resonance of specific frequency ranges due to reflected
sound. To eliminate this resonance, place some sound-absorbing
material such as a thick curtain in front of the doors or walls.

For better-quality sound, observe the following precautions when you
install the speaker system:

• Placing the speaker system on several small-diameter supports

generally results in better sound than placing it directly on a wide
installation surface. Also note that high quality bass cannot be
obtained if the speaker system is unstably positioned. Always use
the cork spacers or thin metal discs (such as coins) to seat the
speaker stably.

• Place the Right and Left surround speakers in similar conditions. If

they are placed in extremely different conditions, left right channel
balance will be adversely affected.

Place the SKC-4600 as close as possible to your television set, for
example, above or below the television set. Be sure to set the SKC-
4600 firmly on the television set or other equipment so that it cannot
slip and fall. This is especially important if you have small children. If
the SKC-4600 is to be placed on a television set, be sure that:

• The supporting area of the TV is larger than that of the SKC-4600.

• The TV's support surface is flat and level.

• The TV is not placed on an unstable support.

If the 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 the thickest and longest possible mounting screws with mounting
screw head diameters less than 10 mm and shank diameters less than
4 mm (consult with your interior designer or contractor).
