SKC-L500C: Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In 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.

SKM-L500S: Surround left and right speakers These speakers are used for precise sound positioning 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.

•The speaker cabinets are sensitive to extreme temper- atures and humidity, do not put them in locations sub- ject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidiﬁer, bathroom, or kitchen.

•Do not put water or other liquids close to the speak- ers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.

•As explained in this manual, mount the speakers on a wall, or on the optional stands/brackets, otherwise, they may fall, causing personal injury or damage to the speakers.
