Connections

For safety, be sure to turn off the power of this unit and all other system components before connecting or disconnecting any components.

When used in combination with an AV amplifier

When using the SKW-205 in conjunction with AV amplifiers and receivers with surround capability, be sure to connect the SKW-205 to the subwoofer preout terminal (SUBWOOFER PREOUT) using the supplied pin cable. If connected using speaker cable, depending on the amplifier or receiver settings, the bass signals may be cut out resulting in decreased fidelity in the lower bass sounds.

For more details regarding proper connecting procedures, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your amplifier or receiver.

1.Using the supplied speaker cables and speaker cables that came with your speakers, connect the SKW-205 speaker-level input (INPUT FROM AMP/ RECEIVER) terminals and the amplifier’s speaker terminals.

2.Connect the Right and Left speakers to the SKW-205 speaker-level output (OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS) terminals.

Note:

•When connecting the speaker cables, be sure not to mistake the (+) and (-) and the L (left) and R (left). If the speaker cables are connecting incorrectly, there will be a loss of fidelity in the bass sound ranges.

•The speakers connected to the SKW-205 speaker- level output (OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS) terminals must have an impedance equal to or greater than the rating indicated on the amplifier connected to the speaker- level input (INPUT FROM AMP/ RECEIVER) terminals. Otherwise, amplifier damage may occur.

Connecting the speaker cables

1.Press the lever of the speaker output terminal, fully insert the twisted core wires into the terminal hole, and then release the lever.

2.Pull the speaker cable lightly to ensure that it is connected firmly.

Note:

•When you have connected the speaker cables, make sure that the core wires are not in contact with other terminals or metallic parts of the unit.

•Do not use BTL (Balanced Transformer-Less) type amplifiers. Using a BTL amplifier may cause damage to both the amplifier and the subwoofer. Ordinary amplifiers are not BTL amplifiers. For details, see the amplifier’s instruction manual.
