Connect this jack to the subwoofer pre-out of the receiver.  
Note:  
The auto standby function operates on the existence or absence of a constant level input signal. If the auto standby  
function does not operate properly, try slightly increasing (or decreasing) the subwoofer output level of the receiver.  
Connection  
For safety reasons, be sure to unplug the power cord of this unit and turn the power off for all other system components  
before connecting or disconnecting any components.  
I Connection to receiver  
Connect the SKW-150X subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER PREOUT jack on your receiver.  
I Power cord  
Make sure that all connections other than the power cord for the system have already been made.  
Turning on the power for the system may cause a very brief current surge that might affect other devices such as a  
computer, if both products are on the same circuit. Connect those devices to another AC outlet.  
Adjustment  
I Output level  
Adjust the SKW-150X output level properly for your listening room and connected speakers.  
Note that you may possibly set the subwoofer at high output levels because super bass-range sound is not as audible  
as sound in other ranges. To obtain well-balanced frequency characteristics, set the output level to a slightly lower  
level than seems optimal (this will also prevent the input of overpowering signals).  
Note:  
The placement of the SKW-150X can greatly affect the sound that is produced. Under normal circumstances, placement  
in the corner of the room provides the best results.

Precaution on use  
I Placement  
• The enclosure is made of wood and therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the  
unit in locations subjected to direct sunlight or in humid places such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, a  
bathroom or kitchen. If you do so, damage may occur.  
• Keep water and other liquids away from the unit. If water is spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also the  
connected receiver may be damaged.  
• Place the unit on a level and rigid surface free from vibration.  
• This unit is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.  
• If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howling or skipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the  
unit away from the turntable or CD player or otherwise lower the unit’s output level.  
Note:  
Abnormal sound can be produced when bass-range signals are excessively boosted by using the receiver’s tone controls  
or a graphic equalizer, or when a source has the bass range abnormally boosted and is played. Rattling occurs when the  
signal is beyond the driver’s reproduction capacity. Although it is not a sign of damage, decrease the speaker output  
level to prevent damage to the driver.

SKF-103F / SKC-103C / SKM-103S / SKB-103 Speaker system  
Connection  
Be sure to turn off your receiver before connecting the speaker system. Connecting it while the receiver is on may  
result in damage to the receiver or the speaker system.  
The speaker cables and speaker terminals are color-coded to facilitate connection. Connect each cable to the  
matching-colored terminal.  
Be sure to connect the speakers positive (+) and negative () input terminals with the receivers corresponding  
positive and negative speaker terminals. Otherwise, undesirable sound field or impaired bass-range reproduction  
will result.  
Before turning on the receivers power switch, pull lightly on the speaker cables to ensure that they are connected  
securely.  
Precaution on use  
This speaker system can handle the specified input power when it is used for ordinary music reproduction. If the  
following abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent may flow in the internal circuits, causing  
burning or breakage of the wires even if the input power is below the specified rating.  
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in  
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette tape deck  
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator, an electronic musical instrument, etc.  
4. Oscillating receiver signals  
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.  
6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting audio connection cables  
(always turn off the receivers power before connecting or disconnecting cables).  
7. Howling when a microphone is used  
I Placement  
SKF-103F Front speakers  
Place the front speakers in similar places to the right and left of the listening area. Angle the speakers towards the  
listener to enhance the stereo effect. If they are placed in extremely different positions, left and right channel balance  
will be adversely affected.  
SKC-103C Center speaker  
Place the SKC-103C as close as possible to your television set, for example, above or below the television set. Tilt the  
speaker upward or downward so that it is directly facing the listener.  
Be sure to set the SKC-103C firmly on the television set or other equipment so that it cannot slip and fall. This is  
especially important if you have small children.  
SKM-103S Surround speakers  
Place the surround speakers 1 m above the listeners ear level, either directly to the side of the listening area or else  
slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.  
If the speakers are to be wall-mounted, make sure that the walls are strong enough to support the speakers weight. The  
weight that mounting screws can support varies greatly depending on the wall material and the position of the wall studs.  
Use the thickest and longest possible mounting screws with mounting screw head diameters less than 6.3 mm and shank  
diameters less than 3.5 mm (please consult with your interior designer or contractor).  
SKB-103 Surround back speaker  
Place the surround back speaker 1 m above the listeners ear level and just at the back of the listener. Adjust the angle so  
that this speaker is facing directly towards the listeners.  
If the speaker is to be wall-mounted, make sure that the wall is strong enough to support the speakers weight. The  
weight that mounting screws can support varies greatly depending on the wall material and the position of the wall studs.  
Use the thickest and longest possible mounting screws with mounting screw head diameters less than 6.3 mm and shank  
diameters less than 3.5 mm (please consult with your interior designer or contractor).  
I Use with a TV set  
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets are extremely sensitive and can be affected even by the magnetism  
of the earth. If a speaker system is used near them, discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with  
color television sets, etc., the SKF-103F Front speakers and SKC-103C Center speaker are provided with magnetic  
shielding. Even so, discoloration may still occur, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs,  
turn off the television set, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it on again. This activates the self-demagnetizing function  
of the television set.  
If discoloration persists even after performing this remedy, move the speaker further from the television set. Discoloration  
may also occur when a magnet or other magnetized object is near the television because of the combined effect.
