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).

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.
.
1 Front left and right speakers (SKF-591)
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.
2 Center speaker (SKC-591N/SKC-591)
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.
3 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.
4 Subwoofer (SKW-593/SKW-591)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE
Wall
(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
3/16" to 7/16"
general, a good bass sound can be obtained by
(5 to 10 mm)
installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-
third the way along the front wall, as shown.

Connecting the Speakers

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.
Connect positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–)
terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the
speakers are wired incorrectly, 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.
