BSpeaker-level output terminals(OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS)

The speaker-level signal to the front speakers is output from these terminals.

DAuto standby switch (AUTO STANDBY)

This switch is used to turn on and off the auto standby function.

ON: This activates the auto standby function.

If a constant level signal is not received from the amplifier (or receiver) over a period of a few minutes, the SKW-205 automatically enters the standby state. If a constant level signal is later received from the amplifier (or receiver), the power is automatically turned back on.

OFF: Deactivates the auto standby function.

Note:

•The auto standby function operates on the existence or absence of a constant level input signal. If the auto standby function does not operate properly, try slightly increasing (or decreasing) the output level of the amplifier or receiver. (Note that output levels of some amplifiers and receivers cannot be adjusted. For more details regarding your components, refer to the instruction manual supplied with them.)

•If noise from peripheral components causes the incorrect operation of the auto standby function, or if outputting low volumes (i.e., during the nighttime) causes the auto standby function to activate, turn off the auto standby function.

•The auto standby function only operates while the power switch for the SKW-205 is turned on.
