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

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
Keyhole slots for wall mounting
suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diame-
ter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/
8" (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 3/16" (5 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm) between the
7-7/8" (200 mm)
wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you
consult a home installation professional.)

SKC-590N/SKC-590
a Front left and right speakers (SKF-590N/SKF-590)
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.
b
Center speaker (SKC-590N/SKC-590)
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.
c Surround left and right speakers (SKR-590)
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.
d Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-590)
These speakers further 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.
e Subwoofer (SKW-580)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel and bass from the satellite speakers when a crossover is specified. 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 gen-
eral, 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.

Precautions
Red
Read the following before connecting your
Green speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any
connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker
wiring polarity. Connect posi-
Center speaker
tive (+) terminals to only pos-
itive (+) terminals, and
negative (–) terminals to only negative (–)
terminals. If the speakers are wired incor-
rectly, 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.
Note
• When you connect the front high left and right
speakers, prepare for it separately, or use the
surround back left and right speakers.

Note
For non-magnetic shielded speakers:
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.

This control is used to adjust the volume of the subwoofer.
LINE INPUT
This RCA input should be connected to the subwoofer pre out on
your AV receiver with supplied RCA cable.
To AC outlet
(Asian models) (Brazilian models)
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 sub-
woofer 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.
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 sup-
plied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also
provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
