Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

•Turn off your receiver or amp before making any con- nections.

•Pay close attention to speaker wir-

ing polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) ter- minals, 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

1	Use the supplied cables to connect each
	speaker’s input terminals to the corre-
	sponding speaker output terminals on
	your receiver or amp.
	Match the color of each cable to the correspond-
	ing speaker terminal.
	To make a connection, while
	pressing the terminal lever,
	insert the wire into the hole, and
	then release the lever.
	Make sure that the terminals are
	gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
Connecting the Subwoofer
1	Using the supplied RCA cable, connect
	the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your AV
	receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT.

Power Cord Precautions

•Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Turning on the SKW-530 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the SKW-530 into a different branch circuit.

Adjustment

Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly bal- anced 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 sub- woofer 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.
