Enjoying Home Theater

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

Connecting the Speakers

Corner 
position

1/3 of wall 
position

Center speaker
(SKC-390N/SKC-390C)

Position it close to your TV (preferably 
on top) facing forward at about ear 
level, or at the same height as the 
front left and right speakers.

Front left and right speakers (SKF-390N/SKF-390)

They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, 
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-390)

 

Position them at the sides of the listener, or 
slightly behind, about 60 to 100 cm (2 to 3 feet) 
above ear level. Ideally they should be equally 
spaced from the listener.

Subwoofer (SKW-390)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) chan-
nel and bass from the satellite speakers when a crossover is specified. The volume 
and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer 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 subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third 
the way along the front wall, as shown.

Speaker Connection 
Precautions

Read the following before connecting your 
speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any 

connections.

• Pay close attention to speaker 

wiring polarity. Connect posi-
tive (+) terminals to only pos-
itive (+) terminals, and 
negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) 
terminals. If the speakers are wired incor-
rectly, the sound will be out of phase and 
will sound unnatural.

• Be careful not to short the positive and 

negative wires. Doing so may damage 
your amp.

Note

For non-magnetic shielded speakers:

Try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, 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.

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 sub-
woofer’s feet may damage the floor-
ing. To prevent this, place the 
supplied pads underneath the sub-
woofer’s feet. The pads also provide 
a stable base for the subwoofer.

Caution

• The front grilles are not designed to be removed so do not 

attempt to remove them forcibly, as this will damage 
them.

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.

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.

Caution

• A mounting screw’s ability to support a 

speaker depends on how well it’s anchored 
to the wall. If you have hollow walls, 
screw each mounting screw into a stud. If 
there are no studs, or the walls are solid, 
use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with 
a head diameter of 9 mm (5/16") or less 
and a shank diameter of 4 mm (1/8") or 
less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for 
any power cables or water pipes before making any holes. 

• Leave a gap of between 5 mm (3/16") and 10 mm 

(7/16") between the wall and the base of the screw head, 
as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home instal-
lation professional.)

We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to 
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The 
rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, provid-
ing a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the cen-
ter speaker, and thin stoppers for the other speakers.
