Precautions
Package Contents
1. AC Fuse
Make sure your box contains all of the items below. If
anything is missing, contact the nearest Onkyo dealer.
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userser-
viceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo
authorized service station.

(SKF-520F)
• Speaker cable for front
speakers 15 ft. (4.5 m)
2. Care
From time to time you should wipe off the front and rear
panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt,
dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent
and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Follow-
ing this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use
rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol-
vents or cloths since these may damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.

Connecting the
Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your amp before making any connections.
Subwoofer (SKW-520)
• 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.
■ Front
• 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

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
The Home Theater 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.
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound.Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the
sound image.They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant
from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker
Surround back speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speak-
This speaker further enhances the real-
ers, making sound movements distinct and providing
ism of surround sound and improves
a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia-
sound localization behind the listener.

Put it somewhere where it won’t slide around or fall.

Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass
sounds of the LFE (Low-Fre-
quency Effects) channel. The vol-
ume and quality of the bass output
from your subwoofer will depend
Left
on its position, the shape of your
listening room, and your listening
position. In general, a good bass
sound can be obtained by install-
ing the subwoofer in a front cor-
ner, or at one-third the width of the
wall, as shown.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning
and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the
sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet
(60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
Corner
Wall-mounting the surround speakers
If the surround speakers are to be wall-mounted, make
sure that the walls are strong enough to support the
speaker’s weight.The weight that mounting screws can
support varies greatly depending on the wall material
and the position of the reinforcing ribs embedded in the
wall.

length
Use long screws with a head diameter of 1/4 inch
(6.3 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8 inch
(3.5 mm) or less. (We recommend that you consult a
home installation professional.)

Power Cord
Precautions
Adjustment
Setting the Subwoofer Level
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your
speakers and AV components.
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT
LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly bal-
anced 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 sub-
woofer 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.
• Turning on the SKW-520 may cause a momentary
power surge that might interfere with other electrical
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem,
plug the SKW-520 into a different branch circuit.

Operating Precautions
Placement
Using Close to a TV or Computer
• The speaker cabinets are made out of wood and are
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and
humidity, do not put them in locations subject to direct
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi-
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed
nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-520F and SKC-520C
feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations,
however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case
you should 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. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discol-
oration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing
tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units
may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-
age, will affect the sound quality.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-
cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or
tilted position.
Input Signal Warning
• If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howl-
ing or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this,
move the unit away from the turntable or CD player
otherwise lower the unit’s output level.
The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the follow-
ing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is
within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in
the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-
tronic musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.
