Wall Mounting
OUTPUT LEVEL control
This control is used to adjust the volume of the
subwoofer.
To mount the front/surround speakers vertically, use
the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a
screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two
keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two
screws that are securely screwed into the wall.
Caution
• A mounting screw’s ability to sup-
port 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 9 mm or less and
a shank diameter of 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 5 mm and 10 mm between
the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you consult a home installation
professional.)

• 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.
• If the Standby/On indicator lights (both red and blue LEDs) several seconds or minutes
after the sound output stopped, this means that the amp protection circuit has been acti-
vated. In this case, set the OUTPUT LEVEL control to the center position, and disconnect
the power cord from the AC outlet. Wait at least 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power
cord. If that doesn’t solve the issue, contact your Onkyo dealer.

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 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.
Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform
We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to
Thin rubber stoppers
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers.
The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from mov-
ing, providing a more stable platform. Use thick stop-
pers for the center speaker, and thin stoppers for the
other speakers.

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

also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

Subwoofer (SKW-501E)
20 cm (8") Cone Woofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel. 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 sub-
woofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front wall, as shown.
