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.
Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles
The front, center and surround speakers have detachable grilles.
See the right illustrations to attach or detach them.
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.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-690)
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.
Center speaker (SKC-690)
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.
Subwoofer (SKW-780)
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 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.

Surround left and right speakers (SKR-690)
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.

Precautions
Read the following before connecting your
speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any
connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker
wiring polarity. Connect
Blue positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and
Gray
negative (–) terminals to only negative (–)
terminals. If the speakers are wired
incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase
and will sound unnatural.
Surround left
• Be careful not to short the positive and
speaker
negative wires. Doing so may damage
your amp.

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.

signal for a while, the SKW-780 automatically enters
Standby mode.

LINE INPUT
This RCA input should be connected to the
subwoofer pre out on your AV receiver with
To AC outlet supplied RCA cable.
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.
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.
