To AC outlet
LINE INPUT
This RCA input should be
connected to the subwoofer pre
out on your AV receiver with
supplied RCA cable.
Caution
• With other audio-video components, connect the subwoofer's
LINE INPUT to the subwoofer pre out jack of your equipment.
Never plug any kind of musical instrument to the subwoofer.
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.
When there's no input signal for a while, the SKW-980/SKW-
938 automatically enters Standby mode.
• If the Standby/On indicator lights (both red and blue LEDs)
several seconds or minutes after the sound output stopped, this
means that the amp protection circuit has been activated. In this
case, set the OUTPUT LEVEL control to the center position, and
disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Wait at least 10
minutes, and then reconnect the power cord. If that doesn't solve
the issue, contact your Onkyo dealer.
Before Using the Home Theater
Speaker Package
Using the Cork Stoppers for a More Stable
Platform
We recommend using the supplied cork stoppers to achieve
the best possible sound from your speakers. The cork
stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a
more stable platform.

Caution
• A mounting screw
speaker depends on how well it
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
s securely screwed into the wall.
