Speaker Precautions
Placement
• The speaker 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.
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. In such situations, try moving 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.
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 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 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.
Power Cord Precautions
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your
speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the SKW-770 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-770 into a different branch circuit.

Enjoying Home Theater
The Home Theater 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.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-770)
These output the main 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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker (SKC-770)
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. For movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
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.
Subwoofer (SKW-770)
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 front wall, as shown.
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.
Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-770)
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.
Surround left and right speakers
(SKR-770)
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 equally spaced
from the listener.

Attaching the Speaker Bases
Before you connect the speakers, attach the supplied
speaker base to each SKF-770.
1. Turn the speaker upside down with the protection
cover attached.
2. Align the speaker base while the arrow mark is
headed in the same direction as the speaker’s face.
Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
3. Align the screw holes on the speaker base with
those on the bottom of each speaker, and affix the
speaker base using the supplied screws.
Recommended torque is 10 kgf·cm (9 lbf·in).
Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
4. Turn the speaker right side up.
5. Remove the protection cover.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
• Attach the speaker bases in a manner that will not
allow the speakers to tip over.
• Be sure to tighten the screws when you attach the
speaker bases.
• Attach the speaker bases on a flat, level, and stable
floor.
• After you attach the speaker bases, make sure that the
speakers stand upright and are stable.

Subwoofer (SKW-770)
■ Front
STANDBY/ON indicator
STANDBY/ON indicator
Red: Subwoofer in standby mode
Blue: Subwoofer on
With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-770
automatically turns on when an input signal is
detected in Standby mode. When there’s no input
signal for a while, the SKW-770 automatically
enters Standby mode.
Setting the Subwoofer Level
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.

Note:
The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when
the input signal exceeds a certain level. If the Auto
Standby function does not work reliably, try slightly
increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on
your receiver.

Connecting the Speakers
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.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Use the supplied speaker cables to connect
each speaker input terminals to the
corresponding speaker output terminals on
your receiver.
Front right
speaker
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.
Connecting the Subwoofer
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the
subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your receiver’s PRE
OUT: SUBWOOFER.
HT-S7200: If you are using an Onkyo HT-S7200
system, you can connect the powered subwoofer with
two PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER jacks respectively. When
using a single subwoofer, you can connect either jack.
The other jack is for connecting additional subwoofer.

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

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.
7-7/8" (200 mm)
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" (8 mm) or less
and a shank diameter of 5/32" (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 7/32"
(5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm)
between the wall and the base
of the screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you
consult a home installation
professional.)
