disconnected from power source

Blue:Subwoofer on The status indicator lights blue when low frequency sound is being passed

through the speaker. The indicator does not light in the

normal dialog or high frequency sound.

• The indicator does not indicate that power supply of the subwoofer has turned on.

With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-658 automatically turns on when an input signal is detected in standby mode. When there’s no input signal for a while, the SKW-658 automatically enters standby mode.

• 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.

Before Using the Home Theater Speaker Package

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, then provide a more stable platform. Use rubber 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.

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.

Wall Mounting

To mount the front/surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.

To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall.
