Speaker Precautions
Package Contents
Placement
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do
not put it 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 Blu-ray
Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may
occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD 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.
internal magnetic shielding.
the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, 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. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a
magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV
or monitor.
Do not place SKR-580 and SKB-580 close to TV or a
computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

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, elec-
tronic 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 discon-
necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier
before connecting or disconnecting cables).

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, 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. With Blu-ray Discs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital.
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
a Front speakers (SKF-580)
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
e
f
a
1/3 of wall
position
Tip
• To find the best position for your subwoofer, while
playing a movie or some music with good bass,
experiment by placing your subwoofer at various
positions within the room, and choose the one that
provides the most satisfying results.

position
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.
b Center speaker (SKC-580)
This speaker enhances the front 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 speakers.
c Surround speakers (SKR-580)
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 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
d Surround back speakers (SKB-580)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix,
DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and
improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the
listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.
e Front high speakers (Optional)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, etc.
They enhance significantly the spatial experience. Position them at least
3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (and as high as possible).
Although it is acceptable to left and right place at an angle slightly wider
than the front speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above
the front speakers.
f Subwoofer (SKW-580)
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.

If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK OR FRONT HIGH L/R
or FRONT HIGH OR ZONE 2 L/R terminals.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid
bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you
need to set the speaker settings. You can do this manually
(➔ 35).

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may
damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between
6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a
long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit
may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables
Screw-type speaker terminals
Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of
1/2" to 5/8"(12 to 15 mm)
insulation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown. (Supplied
speaker cables are already stripped.)
Using Banana Plugs (North American models)
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.
Push-type speaker terminals
Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of
3/8" to 1/2"(10 to 12 mm)
the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
(Supplied speaker cables are already stripped.)

Wall Mounting
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against
the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers
to the rear of each speaker.
To mount the front, surround and surround back speakers
vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker
on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.

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 5/16" (9 mm) or less
and a shank diameter of 1/8" (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 3/16"

Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More
Stable Platform
We recommend using the provided rubber stoppers to
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The
rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the center speaker.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to
the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
Note
The on-screen setup menus are displayed when:
• There is no video input, or
• The video input is 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
Video Connection Formats
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs
of the same format as the input will output the signal.
