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 diameter of 9 mm
(5/16") or less and a shank diameter of
4 mm (1/8") 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 (3/16") and 10 mm (7/16")
between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you consult a home installation
professional.)
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.

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

1
Front left and right speakers (SKF-980)
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.
2
Center speaker (SKC-980)
Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the front left and right
speakers.
3
Surround left and right speakers (SKR-980)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 60 to 100 cm (2 to 3 feet) above ear
level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the
listener.
4
Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-980:
HTP-993THX/SKS-HT993THX only)
These speakers further enhance the realism of
surround sound and improve sound localization
behind the listener.
Position them behind the listener about 60 to 100 cm
(2 to 3 feet) above ear level.
5
Subwoofer (SKW-980: North American and Asian
models/SKW-938: European models)
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.
