About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
The HTP-440s great sound means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own homejust like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
Center speaker (SKC-330XC)
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers. Put it somewhere where it won’t slide around or fall.
Subwoofer (SKW-150X)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. 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 one-third the width of the wall, as shown.
1/3 room length
Corner
Front left and right speakers (SKF-330XF)
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidis­tant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Right
Left
Surround left and right speakers (SKM-330XS)
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 60–100 cm above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.
Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
Turn off your amp before making any connections.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet 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.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Use the cables to connect each speaker’s input terminals to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your receiver.
To make a connection, while pressing the terminal lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are grip­ping the bare wires, not the insulation.
Connecting the Subwoofer
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the sub­woofer’s LINE INPUT to your receiver’s SUB­WOOFER PREOUT.

Mounting the Speakers
Wall Mounting
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied spacers to the keyhole ns on the rear of each speaker.
To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw thats securely screwed into the wall.

Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets
Threaded inserts for machine screws are provided on the rear of each speaker for wall-mounting with commer­cially available speaker mounts or brackets. The speak­ers require M5 (5 mm) screws. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installation details.
Threaded insert
Note:
The portion of the screw that goes into the speakers threaded insert should be between 5–8 mm long.

Caution:
A mounting screw’s ability to support a 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 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 7 mm and 10 mm between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.

Connecting the Power Cord
Notes:
Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
Turning on the SKW-150X may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the SKW-150X into a different branch circuit.
Adjustment
Setting the Subwoofer Level (SKW-150X)
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly bal­anced with the treble sounds from the other speakers.
Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

Caring for Your Speakers
7.
Placement
The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi­tioner, humidier, 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, at surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam­age, will affect the sound quality.
Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti­cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howl­ing or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable or CD 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-330XF and SKC-330XC speakers 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 eld, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor.
Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool thats too close to your TV or monitor.
Operating Precautions
The HTP-440 speakers can handle the specied input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specied rating, excessive current may ow 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.
Amplier oscillation.
5.
Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6.
Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon­necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.) Microphone feedback.
Speaker care
Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alco­hol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the nish, remove the panel lettering, or cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions that come with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.
