The Home Theater means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movemen t in your own home — just lik e being in
a movie theater or concert hall.

Center speaker (SKC-770)
P osition it close to your TV (preferab ly
on top) facing f orw ard at about ear
lev el, or at the same height a s the
front left and right speakers.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-770)
They should be positioned f acing the listener at about ear lev el, and
equally spaced from the TV . Angle them inward slightly so as to
create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Surround left and right speakers (SKR-770)
P osition them at the sides of the listener , or
slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm)
abov e ear lev el. Ideally they should be equally
spaced from the listener .
Subwoofer (SKW -770)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-F requency
Effects) channel. The v olume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoof er 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 installing the subwoof er in a front cor ner , or at one-third the wa y along
the front wall, as sho wn.

Speaker Connecti on Precautions
Read the follow ing before connecting your
speakers:
• T urn of f your receiv er before making any
connections.
• Pay close attenti on to speaker
wiring polarity . Connect
positiv e (+) terminals to only
positi ve (+) termin als, and
negati ve (–) terminals to only
negati ve (–) terminals. If the speak ers are
wired incorrectly , the sou nd will be out of
phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positiv e and
negati ve wires. Doin g so may damage
your amp.
Cautio n
• W ith other audio-video components, con nect
the subwoofer’ s LINE INPUT to the subwoofer
pre out jack of your equipment. Ne ver plug an y
kind of musical instrum ent to the subwoofer .

base while the arro w
mark is headed in
the same direction as
the speaker’ s face. Be

the speaker .
3. Align the screw holes
on the speak er base
with those on the
bottom of each
speaker , and af fix the speaker base using the
supplied screws. Re commended torque is 10 kgf·cm
(9 lbf·in). Be careful not to tip ov er the speaker .
4. T urn the speaker r ight side up.
5. Remov e the protection cov er .
SAFETY PRECA UTIONS:
• Attach the speak er bases in a m anner that will not
allo w the speak ers to tip o ver .

Using the Cork Stoppers f or a More Stable Platform
W e recommend using the supplied cork stoppers to achie ve the best
possible sound from your speakers. The cork stoppers prev ent the
speakers from moving, pro viding a more stable platform. Use
stoppers for the center speaker .

Caution:
A mounting screw’ s ability to support a speaker
depends on how well it’ s anchored to the wall. If
you ha ve hollow w alls, scre w each mounting
screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the
walls are solid, use suitable w all anchors. Use
screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) or
less and a shank diameter of 5/32" (4 mm) or
less. With hollow walls , use a cable/pipe
detector to check f or any power cab les or water
pipes before making an y holes. Leav e a gap of
between 7/32" (5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm) between the wall and the
base of the screw head, as sho wn. (We recommend that y ou
consult a home installation professional.)

Setting the Subw oofer Le vel
T o set the le vel of the subwoofer , use the OUTPUT LEVEL contr ol.
Set it so that bass sounds are ev enly balanced with the treble sounds
from the other speakers. Becaus e our ears are less sensi tiv e to very
low bass sounds, there’ s a temptation to set the le vel of the
subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer le v el to
what you think is the optimal le v el, and then back it of f slightly .
Using the Floor P ads fo r Subwoof er
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood,
vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is v ery loud, the
subwoofer’ s feet may damage the flooring. T o
prev ent this, place the supplied pads underneath
the subwoofer’ s feet. The pads also provide a
stable base for the subwoofer .
