This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more

of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The following illustration shows how to connect the

surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND

BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.

Tip

• You can specify whether surround back or front high speakers are

connected in the “Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)” menu

(➔ page 42) or during Audyssey 2EQ^®Room Correction and

Speaker Setup (➔ page 27).

■ Screw-type speaker terminals

Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends

of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as

shown (Supplied speaker cables are already stripped).

terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered

subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid

bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you need

to set the speaker settings automatically (➔ page 27) or

manually (➔ page 42).

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between

6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower

impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels

for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection

circuit may be activated.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other

words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)

terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)

terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the

sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may

affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.

Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Turning On & Basic Operations

Measurement procedure

Note

Using Basic Functions

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio

Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room

measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air

conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers,

or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use)

or place it away from all audio electronics.

• The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker

as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs.

• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be

performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

To create a listening environment in your home theater that

all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements

at up to three positions within the listening area. Position

the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the

microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a

tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during

measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ

automatically determines the number of speakers

connected, their size for purposes of bass management,

optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if

present), and distances from the primary listening position.

Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room

acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the

listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The

result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone.

a First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this

refers to the most central position where one would

normally sit within the listening environment.

Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this

position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity,

and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ

and Audyssey Dynamic Volume (➔ pages 46, 47).

Before using this function, connect and position all of your

speakers.

Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the

“Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full

Calibration”.

b Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

c Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position ato band ato cmust be

at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.).

• “Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one

position to perform the speaker setting only.

• “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the

measurement from three positions to correct room

response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the

listening environment will become. We recommend using

a measurement from three positions to create the best

listening environment.

c ab

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes

about 10 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number

of speakers.

■ Explanatory Notes

c d e f

This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround

system has five main channels of sound and a sixth

subwoofer channel (called the point-one channel).

This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further

sound enhancement to 5.1-channel sound with two

additional speakers that provide greater sound

envelopment and more accurate positioning of

sounds.

This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround

system can produce a discrete or a matrix-encoded

sixth channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded

material.

This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This

provides a center back surround channel from 5.1-

channel sources.

HDMI Input

Component (Component Video Input)

• If no video component is connected to HDMI output (even if the

HDMI input is assigned), the AV receiver selects the video

source based on the setting of “Component (Component Video

Input)”.

• When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained

here, the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in the “Digital

Audio (Digital Audio Input)” (➔ page 42). In this case, if you

want to use the coaxial or optical audio input, make the

appropriate selection in the “Audio Selector” setting

(➔ page 48).

• Do not assign an HDMI IN to the TV/CD selector while “HDMI

Ctrl (RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 49), otherwise

appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will

not be guaranteed.

• If you assign “- - - - -” to an input selector that is currently

selected in “HDMI Through” (➔ page 49), the “HDMI

Through” setting will be automatically switched to “Off”.

• The “TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed at the

“- - - - -” option.

HDMI Input

Component

If you connect a video component to an HDMI input, you

must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if

you connect your Blu-ra y Disc/DVD player to HDMI IN 2,

you must assign “HDMI2” to the “BD/DVD” input

selector.

If you connect a video component to a component video

input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For

example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, you must assign “IN2” to

the “BD/DVD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film

response and surround envelopment when the volume is

turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is

not always used in music or other non-film content.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

• A/V Sync is disabled when the Direct listening mode is used with

an analog input source.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large

variations in volume level between television programs,

commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of

movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume

setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of

program material is being perceived by listeners in real

time to decide whether an adjustment is needed.

Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the

necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the

desired playback volume level while optimizing the

dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into

Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is

adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response,

tonal balance, surround impression and dialog clarity

remain the same whether watching movies, flipping

between television channels or changing from stereo to

surround sound content.

Connection Tips and

Video Signal Path

Video components can be connected by using any one of

the following video connection formats: composite video,

component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best

picture quality.

Audio components can be connected by using any of the

following audio connection formats: analog, optical,

coaxial, or HDMI.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the

AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for

analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio

signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are

not output by the analog VCR/DVR OUT.

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for

compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The

format you choose will depend on the formats supported by

your components. Use the following sections as a guide.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the

AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only

outputs of the same format as the input will output the

signal.

The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is

connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected

to other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display

when changing settings.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will

be selected automatically in the following order of priority:

HDMI, digital, analog.

Setting the Subwoofer Level

Before Using the Home Theater

Speaker Package

Status indicator

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the

Off: Subwoofer in standby mode or

disconnected from power source

Blue: Subwoofer on

With the Auto Standby function, the

SKW-591 automatically turns on when

an input signal is detected in standby

mode. When there’s no input signal for

a while, the SKW-591 automatically

enters standby mode.

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 Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable

Platform

We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to

achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The

rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving,

providing a more stable platform. Use rubber 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.

SKF-591

SKR-590/SKB-590

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.

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.

d Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-590)

These speakers further enhance the realism of surround

sound and improve sound localization behind the

listener.

Caution

Connecting the Speakers

• 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 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of

1/8" (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.

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

Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60

to 100 cm) above ear level.

3/16" to 7/16"

(5 to 10 mm)

e Subwoofer (SKW-591)

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.

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.

• Leave a gap of between 3/16" (5 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm)

between the wall and the base of the screw head, as

shown (We recommend that you consult a home

installation professional).

Note

• When you connect the front high left and right speakers, prepare

for it separately, or use the surround back left and right speakers.

Indicateur d’état

Off : subwoofer en mode veille ou

débranché de la source

d’alimentation

Bleu : subwoofer allumé

Grâce à la fonction de mise en veille

automatique, la SKW-591 s’allume

automatiquement lorsqu’un signal

d’entrée est détecté en mode Veille.

Lorsqu’aucun signal d’entrée n’est

transmis pendant un certain temps, la

SKW-591 passe automatiquement en

mode Veille.

Pour régler le niveau sonore du subwoofer, utilisez

le bouton OUTPUT LEVEL. Réglez-le de façon à

ce que les basses soient équilibrées avec les aigus

provenant des autres enceintes. Étant donné que

nos oreilles sont moins sensibles aux basses très faibles,

vous pouvez être tenté de régler le niveau sonore du

subwoofer trop haut. En règle générale, réglez le niveau

sonore du subwoofer au niveau que vous estimez être

optimal, et diminuez-le légèrement.

Utilisation des bouchons en caoutchouc

pour une meilleure stabilité

Nous vous recommandons d’utiliser les bouchons en

caoutchouc fournis pour obtenir le meilleur son possible de

vos enceintes. Les bouchons en caoutchouc empêchent les

enceintes de bouger, en procurant une meilleure stabilité.

Utilisez les bouchons en caoutchouc pour l’enceinte

centrale.

Si le subwoofer est placé sur un sol dur (bois, vinyle,

carrelage, etc.) et si le niveau sonore de la lecture est élevé,

les pieds du subwoofer peuvent endommager le sol. Pour

empêcher ceci, placez les tampons fournis sous les pieds

du subwoofer. Les tampons fournissent également une base

stable au subwoofer.

Précautions concernant le branchement des

enceintes

permettant de supporter une enceinte

dépend de la façon dont elle est fixée

au mur. Si vos murs sont creux, vissez

chaque vis de fixation dans un montant.

S’il n’y a aucun montant, ou si les murs

sont pleins, utilisez des fixations murales adéquates.

Utilisez des vis dont la tête a un diamètre de 9 mm

maximum et un diamètre de la partie lisse de la tige de

4 mm maximum. Pour les murs creux, utilisez un

détecteur de câbles/canalisations pour vérifier la présence

éventuelle de câbles d’alimentation ou de canalisations

d’eau avant d’effectuer des percements.

Lisez ce qui suit avant de brancher vos enceintes :

Éteignez votre récepteur avant d’effectuer les branchements.

Faites très attention à respecter la polarité des

câbles de vos enceintes. Ne branchez les bornes

positives (+) que sur les bornes positives (+) et les

bornes négatives (–) que sur les bornes négatives

e Subwoofer (SKW-591)

Le subwoofer gère les graves du canal chargé des effets

LFE (effets basse fréquence) et les graves des enceintes

satellites lorsqu’un crossover est spécifié. Le volume et

la qualité des sons graves émis par le subwoofer

dépendent de sa position, de la forme de la pièce où le

système est installé et de votre position d’écoute. En

général, il est possible d’obtenir un bon son grave en

installant le subwoofer dans un coin situé devant

l’auditeur ou à environ un tiers de la largeur du mur (cf.

illustration).

incorrecte, le son sera déphasé et ne semblera pas naturel.

• Veillez à ne pas mettre ne pas mettre les fils positifs et

négatifs en court-circuit. Vous risqueriez d’endommager

votre amplificateur.

• Laissez un espace de 5 à 10 mm entre le mur et la base de

la tête de la vis, comme indiqué (Nous vous

recommandons de consulter un professionnel de

l’installation domestique).

Remarque

• Lorsque vous branchez les enceintes avant hautes G/D, effectuez

la préparation du branchement d’une manière séparée, ou utilisez

les enceintes surround arrière G/D.

Protection non-magnétique

Pour enceintes blindées non magnétiques :

Essayez d’éloigner les enceintes de votre téléviseur ou de

votre moniteur. Si une décoloration se produit, éteignez

votre téléviseur ou votre moniteur, attendez 15 à 30

minutes, puis rallumez le téléviseur ou le moniteur. Ceci

active normalement la fonction de démagnétisation, qui

neutralise le champ magnétique, supprimant ainsi les effets

de décoloration.
