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 unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-
tering.

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 unit’s rear panel
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
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
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
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 sub-
woofer. If liquid is spilled over the subwoofer, the
drive units may be damaged.
• Subwoofer should only be placed on sturdy, flat sur-
faces that are free from vibration. Putting it on uneven
or unstable surfaces, where it 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 subwoofer is used near a turntable, CD player or
DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur.
To prevent this, move it away from the turntable, CD
player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s out-
put level.
Supplied Accessories
• Pin connector cable 10 ft. (3 m)
• 4 floor pads for the subwoofer
* In catalogs and on packaging, the letter added to the end of
the product name indicates the color of the
SKW-208
.
Specifications and operation are the same regardless of color.
Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer
If the subwoofer is placed
on a hard floor (wood,
vinyl, tile, etc.) and play-
back is very loud, the
subwoofer’s feet may
damage the flooring.
To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the
subwoofer’s feet. The pads also provide a stable base
for the subwoofer.
