Speaker Precautions Package Contents Placement • The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject 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 speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged. • Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality. • Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position. • If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, otherwise lower the unit's output level. Using Close to a TV or Computer TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-380 and SKC-380/ SKC-380C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor. Do not place SKR-380 close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield. Make sure you have the following items: AV Receiver HT-R380 HT-R380 (➔ 7) Remote controller and two batteries (AA/R6) (➔ 5) Indoor FM antenna (➔ 18) AM loop antenna (➔ 18) * In catalogs and on packaging, the letter at the end of the product name indicates the color.

If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. 2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape. 3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec- tronic musical instrument, and so on. 4. Amplifier oscillation. 5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. 6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon- necting audio cables. (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.) En 7. Microphone feedback. 4
