Connection to receiver's (amplifier's) speaker terminals
Connections
1. Using the supplied speaker cables and speaker cables
that came with your speakers, connect the SKW-205
speaker-level input (INPUT FROM AMP/ RECEIVER)
terminals and the amplifier’s speaker terminals.
2. Connect the Right and Left speakers to the SKW-205
speaker-level output (OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS)
terminals.
Note:
• When connecting the speaker cables, be sure not to
mistake the (+) and (-) and the L (left) and R (left). If
the speaker cables are connecting incorrectly, there
will be a loss of fidelity in the bass sound ranges.
• The speakers connected to the SKW-205 speaker-
level output (OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS) terminals must
have an impedance equal to or greater than the rating
indicated on the amplifier connected to the speaker-
level input (INPUT FROM AMP/ RECEIVER) terminals.
Otherwise, amplifier damage may occur.
For safety, be sure to turn off the power of this unit and all other system components before connecting or disconnecting
any components.
When used in combination with an AV amplifier
When using the SKW-205 in conjunction with AV amplifiers and receivers with surround capability, be sure to connect the
SKW-205 to the subwoofer preout terminal (SUBWOOFER PREOUT) using the supplied pin cable. If connected using speaker
cable, depending on the amplifier or receiver settings, the bass signals may be cut out resulting in decreased fidelity in the
lower bass sounds.
For more details regarding proper connecting procedures, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your amplifier or
receiver.

Note:
If your receiver (amplifier) is equipped with a monaural
subwoofer jack, connect it to the SKW-205 Right or Left
low-level (LINE INPUT) jack.
Note:
With an ordinary preamplifier having two output chan-
nels, connect both the Right and Left jacks.

Connecting the speaker cables
1. Press the lever of the speaker output terminal, fully
insert the twisted core wires into the terminal hole, and
then release the lever.
2. Pull the speaker cable lightly to ensure that it is
connected firmly.
Note:
• When you have connected the speaker cables, make
sure that the core wires are not in contact with other
terminals or metallic parts of the unit.
• Do not use BTL (Balanced Transformer-Less) type
amplifiers. Using a BTL amplifier may cause damage
to both the amplifier and the subwoofer. Ordinary
amplifiers are not BTL amplifiers. For details, see the
amplifier’s instruction manual.
