Enjoying Home Theater; Connecting The Speakers - Onkyo HTP-678 User Manual

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 9 mm or less and a shank diameter of 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 5 mm and 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 speakers (SKF-693)
They should be positioned facing the listener at about
Wall
ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle
them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with
the listener at the apex.
Height speakers
5 to 10 mm
This speaker is type of integrated with the front
speakers and height speakers. The height speakers
designed with the top of the front speakers are facing
toward the ceiling to create an elevated audio effect
in the Dolby Atmos and Dolby Surround listening
modes by providing sounds echoing off the ceiling.
2 Center speaker (SKC-591N)
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 speakers (SKR-590)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 60 to 100 cm above ear level. Ideally
they should be equally spaced from the listener.
4 Subwoofer (SKW-658)
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.

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.
