Before Using the Home Theater Speaker Package Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Rubber stoppers Bottom of the SKF-680/SKR-680 Rubber stoppers Bottom of the SKC-680 1-3/16" (30 mm) 1-9/16" (40 mm) Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer 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 subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer. Pad Setting the Subwoofer Level To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there's a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly. Wall Mounting To mount the front/surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.
