Precautions

—Continued

For British models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by
qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:

Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.

IMPORTANT

The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must be
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same
ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for
the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable
fuse in the plug.

For European Models

Speaker Precautions

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.

• 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.

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.
Do not place SKM-750XS 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.
