With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-420
automatically turns on when an input signal is
detected in Standby mode. When there’s no input
signal for about 20 minutes, the SKW-420 automat-
ically enters Standby mode.
C
OUTPUT LEVEL control
This control is used to adjust the volume of the sub-
woofer.
D
LINE INPUT
This RCA input should be connected to the sub-
woofer preout on your HT-R420 AV receiver, amp,
or other receiver with supplied RCA cable.
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 or amp.
Connecting the
Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•Turn off your amp before making any connections.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,
and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-
nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound
will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative wires. Doing so
may damage your amp.
