Before Using the Home Cinema Package
Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable
Platform
We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The
rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving,
providing a more stable platform.
Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl,
tile, etc.) and playback 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.
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two
keyhole slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that
are securely screwed into the wall.

Tip
• If the center speaker is tilted, loosen the screw on the
declined side to move upward so that the speaker could
be adjusted vertically.
Caution
• A mounting screw’s ability to support a
Wall
speaker depends on how well it’s
anchored to the wall. If you have
hollow walls, screw each mounting
screw into a stud. If there are no studs,
or the walls are solid, use suitable wall
5 to 10 mm
anchors. Use screws with a head
diameter of 9 mm or less and a shank diameter of 4 mm
or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to
check for any power cables or water pipes before making
any holes.
• Leave a gap of between 5 mm and 10 mm between the
wall and the base of the screw head, as shown (We
recommend that you consult a home installation
professional).

Enjoying Home Cinema

Connecting the Speakers
The Home Cinema means that you can enjoy surround
sound with a real sense of movement in your own home —
just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
a Front left and right speakers (SKF-558)
They should be positioned facing the listener at about
ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them
inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the
listener at the apex.
b Center speaker (SKC-391)
Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing
forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
c Surround left and right speakers (SKR-558)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 60 to 100 cm above ear level. Ideally
they should be equally spaced from the listener.
d Subwoofer (SKW-358)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE
(Low-Frequency Effects) channel and bass from the
satellite speakers when a crossover is specified. The
volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of
your listening room, and your listening position. In
general, a good bass sound can be obtained by
installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at onethird the way along the front wall, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.
Connect positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–)
terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the
speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of
phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage your amp.
