The FF [ ] button is used to start fast forward. / button The Previous [ ] button is used to select the previous track. During playback it selects the beginning of the current track. The Next [ ] button is used to select the next track. 7 7 Remote Controller--Continued Inserting the Batteries Detach the battery cover. Using the Remote Controller Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. Remote control sensor Insert the two R6 (size AA) batteries. Be sure to match the + and ­ ends of the batteries to the diagram inside the battery compartment. About 5 m (16 feet) Attach the battery cover. Notes: · Do not mix new batteries with old batteries. Do not mix different kinds of batteries. 3 Unscrew the speaker terminal. 15 mm Right! Wrong! 4 Fully insert the bare wires. Connecting Your Speakers Connecting Your Speakers Connect the right channel speaker to the RIGHT speaker connector on the A-SV210, and the left channel speaker to the LEFT speaker connecter. Connect the "+" connector on each speaker to the "+" connectors on the A-SV210, and connect the "­" connector on each speaker to the "­" connectors on the A-SV210. Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural. Front Speaker (Right) Front Speaker (Left) 5 Screw the terminal tight. Changing the Speaker Impedance Value Setting The A-SV210 allows you to set the speaker impedance values according to the speakers you use, adjusting the optimum frequency characteristics against speaker loads. We recommend you set the "SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR" setting to "8 OHMS MIN. /SPEAKER" for speakers having impedance of 8 ohms or higher. Likewise, you may want to set the setting to "4 OHMS MIN. /SPEAKER" for speakers having impedance of 4 ohms or higher. 9 Connecting the A-SV210--Continued Audio Components Connecting a CD player Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the A-SV210's CD L/R inputs to the analog audio outputs on your CD player, as shown. CD L R OUTPUT L Connecting a Tuner Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the A-SV210's TUNER L/R inputs to the analog audio outputs on your tuner, as shown. TUNER L R AUDIO OUTPUT ANALOG R R L Connecting a Turntable The A-SV210's phono inputs are for use with moving magnet (MM) type cartridges. Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the A-SV210's PHONO L/R inputs to the audio outputs on your turntable, as shown. Remove the shorting pin plugs before connecting your turntable. Ground wire Connecting an Audio Output Component Such as a TV Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the A-SV210's LINE 1 L/R inputs to the analog audio outputs on your component such as a TV, as shown. LINE 1 L R OUTPUT L R PHONO L R OUTPUT L R Note: If your TV has no audio outputs, connect the A-SV210 to your VCR and use its tuner. Connecting a Cassette or MD Recorder Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the A-SV210's LINE 2 IN L/R inputs to the MD recorder or cassette recorder's outputs, and use another analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the A-SV210's LINE OUT L/R outputs to the cassette or MD recorder's inputs, as shown. Notes: · If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND screw on the A-SV210. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case it should be disconnected. · If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you'll need a commercially available MC phono preamp. Connect the phono preamp to your turntable, and then connect the phono preamp to the A-SV210's PHONO L/R inputs. LINE 2 OUT L IN L R R L L R R REC PLAY (IN) (OUT) 10 Connecting the A-SV210--Continued Connecting a Power Amplifier You can use the A-SV210 as a preamplifier by connecting the A-SV210 to a power amplifier. [. . . ] Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately and contact your Onkyo dealer. Audio There's no sound, or it's very soft. · When you use the A-SV210 as a power amplifier (when the DIRECT function is turned on), the sound from the component connected to the preamplifier will be output. If you want to output the sound from a component connected to the A-SV210, or when you use the A-SV210 as a preamplifier, use the DIRECT button to turn off the DIRECT function. · Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way.
