Speaker Precautions

Placement
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is there-
fore 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 dam-
age, 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 turn-
table, 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. To prevent this, the SKF-380 and SKC-380/
SKC-380C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some
situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in
which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait
15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This nor-
mally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes
the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration
effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discol-
oration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing
tool that's too close to your TV or monitor.
Do not place SKR-380 close to TV or a computer monitor
because they have no magnetic shield.
Input Signal Warning
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the follow-
ing 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.)

7. Microphone feedback.
