Note • The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reliably, try slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on your receiver. Before Using the Home Theater Speaker Package Attaching the Speaker Bases Before you connect the speakers, attach the supplied speaker base to each SKF-791. 1. Turn the speaker upside down with the protection cover attached. 2. Align the speaker base while the arrow mark is headed in the same direction as the speaker's face. Be careful not to tip over the speaker. 3. Align the screw holes on the speaker base with those on the bottom of each speaker, and affix the speaker base using the supplied screws. Recommended torque is 9 lbf·in (10 kgf·cm). Be careful not to tip over the speaker. 4. Turn the speaker right side up. 5. Remove the protection cover. Supplied screws Top of SKF-791 Protection cover Arrow mark Speaker base Bottom of SKF-791 • Be sure to tighten the screws when you attach the speaker bases. • Attach the speaker bases on a flat, level, and stable floor. • After you attach the speaker bases, make sure that the speakers stand upright and are stable. Using the Cork Stoppers for a More Stable Platform We recommend using the supplied cork stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The cork stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Use cork stoppers for the center speaker. Cork stoppers Bottom of the SKC-791 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. 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 center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall. Keyhole slots for wall mounting SKC-791 7-7/8" (200 mm) Tip • If the center speaker is tilted, loosen the screw on the declined side to move upward so that the speaker could be adjusted vertically. To mount the surround/surround back speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.
