[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water (5 to 10mm) pipes before making any holes. Leave a gap of between 7/32" (5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional. ) SKW-770 OFF 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. Cork stoppers Bottom of SKC-770 Caution: A mounting screw’s Wall ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each 7/32" to 3/8" mounting screw into (5 to 10mm) a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 5/32" (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 7/32" (5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional. ) 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. 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. [. . . ] 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. 1/3 of wall position Corner position Connecting the Speakers Powered subwoofer Front right speaker Front left speaker Specifications and appearance are subject to change without prior notice.
