Onkyo Speaker SKS 4600 User Manual

Speaker System  
Before using this unit  
• The speaker cabinet is made of wood and is therefore  
sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity.  
Avoid placing the speaker systems in locations  
subjected to direct sunlight, or in smoky or in humid  
places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier,  
bathroom, or kitchen. Doing so may result in damage  
to the speaker.

• Place the unit on a rigid, level surface. Placing it on a  
slanted surface or weak base not only may cause the  
unit to fall, but also results in decreased sound  
quality.  
• Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting  
the speaker system. Connecting them with the  
amplifier's power on may result in damage to the  
amplifier or the speaker system.  
• Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If  
water is spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also  
the speakers themselves may be damaged.  
Instruction Manual  
Precaution on use  
• This speaker system can handle the specified input  
power when it is used for ordinary music  
reproduction. If the following abnormal signals are fed  
to the speaker, however, an overcurrent may flow in  
the internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of  
the wires even if the input power is below the  
specified rating.  
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in  
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette  
tape deck  
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator,  
an electronic musical instruments, etc.  
4. Oscillating amplifier signals  
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking  
CD, etc.  
6. Sound produced when connecting or  
disconnecting audio connection cables (Always  
turn off the amplifier’s power before connecting or  
disconnecting cables.)  
Thank you for your purchase of the Onkyo speaker  
system.  
7. Howling when a microphone is used  
Please read this manual thoroughly before using it.  
Following the instructions in this manual will enable  
you to obtain optimum performance and listening  
enjoyment from your new speaker system.  
Please retain this manual for future reference.  
• Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers  
and iron parts near the tweeter since they use  
speakers with strong magnets. Otherwise, the  
objects may be attracted, causing injury or damaging  
the diaphragm.

Placement  
Attaching the speaker stands (for SKF-4600 only)  
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.  
SKF-4600 Front speaker system  
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.

Speaker cabinet  
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.  
Cork spacer  
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.  
Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles  
This speaker system uses detachable grilles. Use the following  
method to attach or detach the grilles.  
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.  
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.  
For better-quality sound, observe the following precautions when you  
install the speaker system:  
Removal  
Replacement  
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.  
SKC-4600 Center Speaker  
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:  
SKF-4600  
Use with a TV set  
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.  
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.  
SKM-4600 Surround Speaker  
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).  
Speaker care  
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.
