About Home Theater

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.

Front left and right speakers (SKF-750F)

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.

Center speaker (SKC-750C)

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements dis- tinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV fac- ing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers. Put it somewhere where it won’t slide around or fall.

Subwoofer (SKW-750)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Fre-

quency Effects) channel. The vol- Left ume 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 install- ing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the wall, as shown.

Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-750)

These speakers further enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2–

3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.

Right

Surround left and right speakers (SKM-750S)

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.

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the sub-

woofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

■Using Rubber Spacers with the Speakers

We recommend using the supplied rubber spacers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber spacers pre- vent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable setup.
