Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform
We recommend using the supplied 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, and thin stoppers for the
other speakers.

• The front grilles are not designed to be removed so
do not attempt to remove them forcibly, as this will
damage them.
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.
(We recommend that you consult a home installation
professional.)

STANDBY/ON indicator
Red: Subwoofer in standby mode
Blue: Subwoofer on
With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-501E
automatically turns on when an input signal is
detected in Standby mode. When there’s no
input signal for a while, the SKW-501E automatically enters Standby mode.
■ Rear
POWER switch
Press this switch to the ON position to turn on
the power. Press it to the OFF position to turn off
the power.
OUTPUT LEVEL control
This control is used to adjust the volume of the
subwoofer.
To AC outlet
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.
• If the Standby/On indicator lights (both red and blue LEDs) several seconds or minutes
after the sound output stopped, this means that the amp protection circuit has been activated. In this case, set the OUTPUT LEVEL control to the center position, and disconnect
the power cord from the AC outlet. Wait at least 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power
cord. If that doesn’t solve the issue, contact your Onkyo dealer.
LINE INPUT
This RCA input should be connected to the
subwoofer pre out on your AV receiver with
supplied RCA cable.
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.
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.

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.

ab Front left and right speakers (SKF-528)
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.
c Center speaker (SKC-528)
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.
de Surround left and right speakers (SKR-528)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 60 to 100 cm
above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.
f Subwoofer (SKW-501E)
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.

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.
Caution
• With other audio-video components, connect
the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to the subwoofer
pre out jack of your equipment. Never plug any
kind of musical instrument to the subwoofer.
