SKR-L500: Surround back speaker

This speaker enhances the realism of surround sound

and improve sound localization behind the listener.

Position it behind the listener about 23 feet (60

100 cm) above ear level.

· The speaker cabinet is sensitive to extreme tempera-

tures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject

to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an

air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

· Do not put water or other liquids close to the speaker.

If liquid is spilled over the speaker, the drive units

may be damaged.

· As explained in this manual, mount the speaker on a

wall, or on the optional stands/brackets, otherwise, it

may fall, causing personal injury or damage to the

speaker.

We recommend using the supplied cork spacers to

achieve the best possible sound from your speaker. The

cork spacers prevent the speaker from moving, provid-

ing a more stable setup.

The speaker can easily be wall mounted by using the

keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating

against the wall, attach four of the supplied cork spacers

to the rear of the speaker.

Mounting vertically

To mount the speaker vertically, use the two keyhole

slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that are

securely screwed into the wall.

Mounting horizontally

To mount the speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole

slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that are

securely screwed into the wall.

The plaque of each speaker rotates so that you can posi-

tion the speaker upside down.

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 9.5 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 5 mm

between the wall and the

base of the screw head, as

shown.

(We recommend that you

consult a home installation

professional.)

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

·Turn off your amp before making any connections.

· The nominal impedance of these speakers is 6

. Use

only an amp that supports this impedance.

·Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Con-

nect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) termi-

nals, 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Threaded inserts for 5 mm machine screws are provided

on the rear and buttom of the speaker for wall-mounting

with commercially available speaker mounts and brack-

ets. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or

brackets for installation details.

Note:

The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker's

threaded insert should be between 5 mm and 9 mm

long.

The speaker can handle the specified input power when

used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-

lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power

is within the specified rating, excessive current may

flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire break-

age:

1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-

tronic musical instrument, and so on.

4. Amplifier oscillation.

5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-

necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier

before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7. Microphone feedback.

· The speaker contain strong magnets, so do not put

magnetic or iron objects such as screwdrivers close to

them. If you do, the object may be attached to the

magnets, causing personal injury or damage to the

diaphragm.

Connecting the Speakers

1 Strip the insulation from the

ends of the speaker cables,

and twist the bare wires tightly.

2 Use the cables to connect speaker's input

terminals to the corresponding speaker

output terminals on your amp.

To make a connection, while

pressing the terminal lever,

insert the wire into the hole, and

then release the lever.

Make sure that the terminals are

gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

HOMEPAGE

Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft

cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a soft cloth in a

weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing

it out dry, wipe off the dirt. Then, dry immediately with

a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alco-

hol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these

could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or

cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth,

always follow the instructions that come with the cloth.

For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner

or brush it off.
