Before Using the Home Theater
Speaker Package
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. Use rubber stoppers for
the center speaker.

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.

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.
Wall Mounting
To mount the front/surround/surround back speakers
vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker
on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.
SKF-591
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two
keyhole slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that
are securely screwed into the wall.

Tip
• If the center speaker is tilted, loosen the screw on the declined
side to move upward so that the speaker could be adjusted
vertically.
