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.

aFront left and right speakers (SKF-391)

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.

bCenter speaker (SKC-391/SKC-391C)

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.

cSurround left and right speakers (SKR-391) 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.

dSubwoofer (SKW-391)

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.
