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.
Attaching the Speaker Bases
Before you connect the speakers, attach the supplied
speaker base to each SKF-791.
1. Turn the speaker upside down with the protection
cover attached.
2. Align the speaker base while the arrow mark is
headed in the same direction as the speaker’s face.
Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
3. Align the screw holes on the speaker base with those
on the bottom of each speaker, and affix the speaker
base using the supplied screws. Recommended torque
is 9 lbf·in (10 kgf·cm).
Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
4. Turn the speaker right side up.
5. Remove the protection cover.
Safety Precautions
• Attach the speaker bases in a manner that will not allow
the speakers to tip over.
• Be sure to tighten the screws when you attach the speaker
bases.
• Attach the speaker bases on a flat, level, and stable floor.
• After you attach the speaker bases, make sure that the
speakers stand upright and are stable.
Using the Cork Stoppers for a More Stable
Platform
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. Use cork stoppers for the center
speaker.
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 subwoofer’s feet
may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the
supplied pads underneath the subwoofer’s feet. The pads
also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
Setting the Subwoofer Level
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the
OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass
sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds
from the other speakers. Because our ears are less
sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to
set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb,
set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal
level, and then back it off slightly.
Wall Mounting
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.
Tip
• If the center speaker is tilted, loosen the screw on the declined
side to move upward so that the speaker could be adjusted
vertically.
To mount the surround/surround back speakers vertically,
use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw
that's securely screwed into the wall.
