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 5 mm and 10 mm between the
wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.

Using Floor Pads with 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.

Connecting the Speakers
Speaker
Placement
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•Turn off your DVD/AV receiver 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 DVD/AV
receiver.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Use the speaker cables to connect each
speaker’s input terminals to the corresponding
speaker output terminals on your DVD/AV
receiver.
Match the color of each cable to the corresponding
speaker terminal.
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.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-501F)
They should be positioned facing the listener at
about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV.
Angle them inward.

Subwoofer (SKW-501)
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 way along
the wall, as shown.
Connecting the Subwoofer
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your DVD/AV receiver’s

Power Cord Precautions
• Before connecting the power cord, connect the speakers and your DVD/AV receiver.
•Turning on the SKW-501 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-501 into a different branch circuit.

Subwoofer Level Adjustment
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.

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 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 field,
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 that’s too close
to your TV or monitor.
Operating Precautions
Placement
• The subwoofer cabinets are made out of wood and are
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, humidifier, 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, flat 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, CD player or DVD
player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To
prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,
CD player or DVD player otherwise lower the unit’s
output level.
Input Signal Warning
The speakers can handle the specified 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 specified rating, excessive current may flow 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.
Amplifier 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.)
7.
Microphone feedback.
Speaker care
Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry, 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 finish, 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.
