Introduction

Congratulations! The KSS-500

Home Theater Speaker Package will

bring quality sound reproduction to

your home theater system. Installing

the speakers isn’t difficult, but please

read and follow all of the instruc-

tions on these pages (and in the

manual that comes with the

subwoofer) to get maximum perfor-

mance from your new speakers.

If you’re also connecting other

equipment, such as a receiver,

power amplifier, or pre-amplifier,

use this manual in combination with

the manuals that came with those

components.

Unpacking

In this box you should have:

• CFS-200 Front Speakers 

(1 Left and 1 Right)

• CFS-200 Center Speaker (1)

• RS-05 Surround Speakers (2)

• 8-ft lengths of speaker wire (5)

Your SW-200 Powered Subwoofer

comes in a separate box.

About the speaker wire: If you you

need longer speaker wire, we

suggest you buy wire that is 18-

gauge or thicker. Remember, the

smaller the number, the thicker the

wire—so 18-gauge is thicker than

20-gauge.

Unpack the speakers carefully, and

examine them for shipping damage.

If they are damaged or fail to oper-

ate, notify your Kenwood dealer

immediately. If they were shipped to

you directly, notify the shipping

company without delay. Only the

person or company who originally

received the speakers can file a

claim against the carrier for shipping

damage. Keep the original cartons

and packing materials in case you

need to transport or ship your

speakers in the future.
