Speaker Precautions

Placement

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is there-

fore sensitive to extreme temperatures 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 speakers. If

liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be
damaged.

• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces

that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-
age, will affect the sound quality.

• Subwoofer 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, CD player or Blu-ray

Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may
occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turn-
table, CD player or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, otherwise
lower the unit’s output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or
picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed
nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-580 and SKC-580 feature
internal magnetic shielding. In such situations, try moving
the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discolora-
tion 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. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a
magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV
or monitor.
Do not place SKR-580 and SKB-580 close to TV or a
computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the follow-
ing 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 breakage:
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.
