Placement
SKF-L500
SKF-L500: Front left and right speakers
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.
• The speaker cabinets are 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
• 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.

Using the supplied cork spacers
We recommend using
the supplied cork spacers to achieve the best
possible sound from
your speakers. The cork
spacers prevent the
speakers from moving,
providing a more stable

Attaching the speaker bases

speaker base to each SKF-L500.
1. Turn the speaker upside down.
2. 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.

Preventing the speakers from falling
To install the speakers securely, remove the seal from
the upper rear part of each speaker to expose a small
hole. Install an eye hook into the hole, then secure the
speaker against the wall using a cord.
