Getting to know Your
Speaker Package

A

STANDBY/ON indicator
Red:

Subwoofer in standby mode

Green: Subwoofer on

With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-520
automatically turns on when an input signal is
detected in Standby mode. When there’s no input
signal for a while, the SKW-520 automatically
enters Standby mode.

B

OUTPUT LEVEL control
This control is used to adjust the volume of the sub-
woofer.

C

LINE INPUT
This RCA input should be connected to the sub-
woofer pre out on your AV receiver, amp, or other
receiver with supplied RCA cable.

If you are also using the HT-R520:
Connect this input to the subwoofer pre out of the
HT-R520.

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 or amp.

Connecting the
Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Turn off your amp before making any connections.

• Pay close attention to speaker

wiring polarity. Connect positive
(+) terminals to only positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) termi-
nals to only negative (–) termi-
nals. 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Use the supplied cables to connect each
speaker’s input terminals to the corre-
sponding speaker output terminals on
your AV receiver.
Match the color of each cable to the correspond-
ing speaker terminal.
To make a connection, while
pressing the terminal lever,
insert the wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
