Using the Cork Spacers for a More Stable Platform
We recommend using the supplied cork spacers to achieve the best possible
sound from your speakers. The cork spacers prevent the speakers from mov-
ing, providing a more stable platform.

The front, center, surround and
surround back speakers have
detachable grilles.
See the right illustrations to attach
or detach them.
Cork spacers
ab Front left and right speakers (SKF-980)
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-980)
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-980)
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.
f
Subwoofer (SKW-980)
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 sub-
woofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front wall, as shown.
gh Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-980)
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.

Speaker Connection
Precautions
Gray
Read the following before connecting your
White
speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any
Red
Center speaker
connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker
wiring polarity. Connect posi-
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.

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 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
wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you
consult a home installation professional.)

to remove it forcibly, as this will damage it.

• The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal
exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reli-
ably, try slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on
your receiver.
• If the Standby/On indicator lights (both red and blue LEDs) several sec-
onds 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
Make sure the SKW-980 subwoofer's output

level control is set at the "THX-POSITION".
You can then adjust the level as needed.
