Speaker Connection Precautions

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.

• 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.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Connections

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Using Basic Functions

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.

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”.

• “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.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Measurement procedure

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. 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.

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 a to b and a to c must be at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.).

: Listening area

TV c ab a to c: Listening position


Note

• 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.

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and

360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the

DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-

ES Discrete soundtrack.

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener.

As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.


■ Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

`

0 dB:

This should be selected for movie contents.

`

5 dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

`

10 dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at

10 dB below film reference.

`

15 dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference.

To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that

–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference 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 three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Note

• If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this technology cannot be used.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ ®

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume.

Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with

Audyssey 2EQ ® to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume ®

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.

■

About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the dts indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, you may not hear any sound because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately. In such case, you should stop your player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

—

With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

—

Playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

—

■ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard

— Since it takes longer to identify the format of an

HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV,

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors,

Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components.

With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

*1 , so TVs and displays

with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-

DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection)

*2 , so only HDCP-compatible

components can display the picture.

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz,

16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus,

Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio,

DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip

Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High

Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus,

DSD and Multichannel PCM.

Appendix

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital

Content Protection) *2

, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

*3

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG

*3 in 1999.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for

HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel,

Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon

Image, this open industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Note

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual

Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that

DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

Before Using the Home Theater

Speaker Package

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.

Rubber stoppers

Bottom of the

SKC-591N/SKC-591

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.

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 front/surround/surround back speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.

Keyhole slots for wall mounting

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.

Pad

7-7/8" (200 mm)

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.

En-2

Caution

• 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

Wall

3/16" to 7/16"

(5 to 10 mm) 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.

• 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).

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.

Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.

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 onethird the way along the front wall, as shown.

e a b

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.

a Front left and right speakers (SKF-591)

They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

b Center speaker (SKC-591N/SKC-591)

Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

c Surround left and right speakers (SKR-590)

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

c d

Corner position


Connecting the Speakers



• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.

Connect positive (+) terminals to only 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.


Doing so may damage your amp.

Note

• When you connect the front high left and right speakers, prepare for it separately, or use the surround back left and right speakers.

Note

For non-magnetic shielded speakers:

Try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, 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.

Réglage du niveau sonore du subwoofer

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.

Fixation au mur

Pour fixer les enceintes avant/surround/surround arrière de façon verticale, utilisez l’encoche en trou de serrure pour accrocher chaque enceinte sur une vis bien vissée au mur.

Encoche en trou de serrure pour la fixation au mur

Remarque

• La fonction de mise en veille automatique allume le subwoofer lorsque le signal d’entrée dépasse un certain niveau. Si la fonction de mise en veille automatique ne fonctionne pas correctement, essayez d’augmenter ou de diminuer légèrement le niveau de sortie du subwoofer de votre récepteur.

Utilisation des tampons de protection pour le subwoofer

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.

SKF-591 SKR-590/SKB-590

Pour fixer l’enceinte centrale de façon horizontale, utilisez les deux encoches en trou de serrure indiquées pour accrocher l’enceinte à deux vis bien fixées au mur.

Conseil

• Si l’enceinte centrale est inclinée, dévissez la vis du côté incliné pour régler la position verticale de l’enceinte et la redresser.

Fr-2

Mise en garde

• La capacité de la vis de fixation permettant de supporter une enceinte dépend de la façon dont elle est fixée

Mur 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

5 à 10 mm 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.

• 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).

Vivez une expérience cinématographique à domicile

Grâce au Home Cinema, vous pouvez profiter d’un son surround très réaliste à votre domicile — comme si vous

étiez dans une salle de cinéma ou de concert.

a Enceintes avant gauche et droite (SKF-591)

Elles doivent être positionnées face à l’auditeur, à la hauteur des oreilles et être situées à distance égale du téléviseur. Orientez-les légèrement vers l’intérieur de manière à créer un triangle avec l’auditeur.

b Enceinte centrale (SKC-591N/SKC-591)

Positionnez-la à proximité de votre téléviseur (de préférence dessus), face à vous, à la hauteur des oreilles ou à la même hauteur que les enceintes avant gauche et droite.

c Enceintes surround gauche et droite (SKR-590)

Placez-les sur les côtés de l’auditeur, ou légèrement derrière lui, 60 à 100 cm environ au-dessus du niveau des oreilles. Idéalement, elles doivent se situer à égale distance de l’auditeur.

d Enceintes surround arrière gauche et droite (SKB-590)

Ces enceintes renforcent encore plus le réalisme du son surround et améliorent la localisation du son derrière l’auditeur.

Placez-les derrière l’auditeur 60 à 100 cm environ audessus du niveau des oreilles.


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).

e a b

Branchement des enceintes

Précautions concernant le branchement des enceintes

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

(–). Si les enceintes sont branchées de façon incorrecte, le son sera déphasé et ne semblera pas naturel.

Before Using the Home Theater

Speaker Package

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.

Rubber stoppers

Bottom of the

SKC-591N/SKC-591

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.

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 front/surround/surround back speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.


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.


SKC-591N/

SKC-591

Pad

7-7/8" (200 mm)

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.

En-2

Caution

• 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

Wall

3/16" to 7/16"

(5 to 10 mm) 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.

• 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).

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.

Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.


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 onethird the way along the front wall, as shown.

e a b

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.

a Front left and right speakers (SKF-591)

They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

b Center speaker (SKC-591N/SKC-591)

Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

c Surround left and right speakers (SKR-590)

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

c d

Corner position


Connecting the Speakers



• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.

Connect positive (+) terminals to only 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.


Doing so may damage your amp.

Note

• When you connect the front high left and right speakers, prepare for it separately, or use the surround back left and right speakers.

Note

For non-magnetic shielded speakers:

Try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, 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.

Avant d’utiliser l’Ensemble d’enceintes du Home cinéma

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.

Bouchons de caoutchouc

Réglage du niveau sonore du subwoofer

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.

Fixation au mur

Pour fixer les enceintes avant/surround/surround arrière de façon verticale, utilisez l’encoche en trou de serrure pour accrocher chaque enceinte sur une vis bien vissée au mur.


Remarque

• La fonction de mise en veille automatique allume le subwoofer lorsque le signal d’entrée dépasse un certain niveau. Si la fonction de mise en veille automatique ne fonctionne pas correctement, essayez d’augmenter ou de diminuer légèrement le niveau de sortie du subwoofer de votre récepteur.

Utilisation des tampons de protection pour le subwoofer

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.

SKF-591 SKR-590/SKB-590

Pour fixer l’enceinte centrale de façon horizontale, utilisez les deux encoches en trou de serrure indiquées pour accrocher l’enceinte à deux vis bien fixées au mur.

Conseil

• Si l’enceinte centrale est inclinée, dévissez la vis du côté incliné pour régler la position verticale de l’enceinte et la redresser.

Fr-2

Mise en garde

• La capacité de la vis de fixation permettant de supporter une enceinte dépend de la façon dont elle est fixée

Mur 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

5 à 10 mm 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.

• 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).

Vivez une expérience cinématographique à domicile

Grâce au Home Cinema, vous pouvez profiter d’un son surround très réaliste à votre domicile — comme si vous

étiez dans une salle de cinéma ou de concert.

a Enceintes avant gauche et droite (SKF-591)

Elles doivent être positionnées face à l’auditeur, à la hauteur des oreilles et être situées à distance égale du téléviseur. Orientez-les légèrement vers l’intérieur de manière à créer un triangle avec l’auditeur.

b Enceinte centrale (SKC-591N/SKC-591)

Positionnez-la à proximité de votre téléviseur (de préférence dessus), face à vous, à la hauteur des oreilles ou à la même hauteur que les enceintes avant gauche et droite.

c Enceintes surround gauche et droite (SKR-590)

Placez-les sur les côtés de l’auditeur, ou légèrement derrière lui, 60 à 100 cm environ au-dessus du niveau des oreilles. Idéalement, elles doivent se situer à égale distance de l’auditeur.

d Enceintes surround arrière gauche et droite (SKB-590)

Ces enceintes renforcent encore plus le réalisme du son surround et améliorent la localisation du son derrière l’auditeur.

Placez-les derrière l’auditeur 60 à 100 cm environ audessus du niveau des oreilles.


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).

Branchement des enceintes

Précautions concernant le branchement des enceintes

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

(–). Si les enceintes sont branchées de façon 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.

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.
