Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-
out the permission of the copyright holder.
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.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
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.
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.
4. Power
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 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.
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.
Some models have a voltage selector switch for
compatibility with power systems around the world.
Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the
voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your
area.
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button on the remote
controller to select Standby mode does not fully
shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the
unit for an extended period, remove the power cord
from the AC outlet.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Connecting the Speaker Cables
You can connect one or two sets of speakers (A/B) to
the A-9355/A-9155, and select which set outputs sound,
or use both sets at the same time.
For both speakers A and B, make sure to connect them
with Left and Right in pairs.
Strip about 15 mm (5/8
inch) of insulation from
the ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.
15 mm
(5/8")
1
• If you connect both speaker sets to terminal A and B
respectively to deliver sound at the same time, only
connect speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or
more but less than 16 ohms. If you use speakers with
a lower impedance, and use the A-9355/A-9155 at
high volume levels for a long period of time, the
built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• If you use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8
ohms, connect them to either terminal A or B, or oth-
erwise do not use both speaker sets simultaneously to
deliver sound.
Unscrew the terminal.

3
Fully insert the bare
wires.
Screw the terminal tight.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet
before making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
