The Home Cinema 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
de
fcab
abFront left and right speakers (SKF-980)
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.
cCenter speaker (SKC-980)
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.
deSurround left and right speakers (SKR-980)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 60 to 100 cm
above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.
fSubwoofer (SKW-938)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel 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 positive
(+) terminals to only positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–)
terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If
the speakers are wired incorrectly, 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
•When you connect the surround back and front
high speakers, prepare for it separately.

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.

Caution
•The front grille is not designed to be removed so does not attempt
to remove it forcibly, as this will damage it.
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.
•If the Standby/On indicator lights (both red and blue LEDs) several
seconds or minutes after the sound output stopped, this means that the amp
protection circuit has been activated. In this case, set the OUTPUT LEVEL
control to the center position, and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet. Wait at least 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power cord. If that
doesn’t solve the issue, contact your Onkyo dealer.
Setting the Subwoofer Level
Make sure the SKW-938 subwoofer’s output
level control is set at the “THX-POSITION”.
You can then adjust the level as needed.

Surround speakersSpeaker cables 8.0 m
Cork stoppers (12 pcs.) for front and
center speakers
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 each 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 or less and a shank diameter of 4 mm 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 and 10 mm between the wall and the base
of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home
installation professional.)
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.
■Attaching and detaching the speaker grilles
The front, center and surround
speakers have detachable grilles.
See the right illustrations to attach
or detach them.
