Center speaker (SKC-360C)

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

*While speaker set B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.

Subwoofer (SKW-360)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. 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 wall, as shown.

Speaker Set A: Main Room

Front left and right speakers (SKF-360F L/R)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.

Surround left and right speakers (SKM-360S L/R)

These speakers are used for precise sound position- ing and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

*While speaker set B is on, these speakers output no sound.
