Notes:  
• The auto standby function operates on the existence or  
absence of a constant level input signal. If the auto  
standby function does not operate properly, try slightly  
increasing (or decreasing) the output level of the  
amplifier or receiver.  
(Note that output levels of some amplifiers and receivers  
cannot be adjusted. For more details regarding your  
components, refer to the instruction manual supplied  
with them.)  
• If noise from peripheral components causes the incorrect  
operation of the auto standby function, or if outputting  
low volumes (i.e., during the nighttime) causes the auto  
standby function to activate, turn off the auto standby  
function.  
• The auto standby function only operates while the power  
switch for the SL-105 is turned on.

Speaker placement  
Layout of your speaker system  
Satellite speaker  
Satellite speakers  
Installation using commercially-available stands and  
fixtures  
• Front left/right speakers and center speakers  
These three speakers should be placed in front of the  
listener.  
The speaker bottom and rear are equipped with screw holes so  
that you can attach commercially-available stands or  
mounting fixtures for a variety of mounting options. (Two M5  
screw holes, 60 mm pitch on the bottom and one M5 screw  
hole on the rear.)  
All three speakers should be placed at the same level.  
Placement should be such so that the speakers all aim at the  
ears of the listener when the listener is listening to music or  
watching the screen. The center speakers enhance the sound  
effects from the two front speakers and add clarity to  
movements in the sound for a much richer sound image.  
Note:  
When attaching an accessory item  
to a speaker, be careful of the  
M5 screw  
length of the screws used. Use  
only screws that provide the  
required strength with a screw  
length between 7 and 12 mm.  
• Surround left/right speakers  
5 mm  
Surround speakers should be placed to the side of the  
listener or behind the listener. These speakers produce  
sound movements in all directions, create a sound  
environment that reflects the background, and create the  
sensation of being in the middle of the action.  
7 to 12 mm  
Subwoofer  
The subwoofer can be installed anywhere in the room, but in  
most situations you will obtain the best results by placing the  
subwoofer to the side near a corner of the room. The quality  
and level of the bass sounds from the subwoofer will differ  
depending on the location where the subwoofer is placed and  
the layout of the room, so it is recommended to place the  
subwoofer in several locations and find the position that  
provides the best results.  
Using spacers  
Attaching the supplied spacers is recommended for obtaining  
the best sound quality. Also, by attaching the provided  
spacers, the speakers will not slide easily for a more stable  
installation.

Adjustment procedure  
Adjusting the cut-off frequency and volume  
Use the cut-off frequency (FREQUENCY) and volume  
(OUTPUT LEVEL) knobs on the front of the subwoofer (SL-  
105) and adjust the levels to the desired level in accordance  
with the layout of your room and the positioning of all your  
components. If the playback frequency range and volume of  
the subwoofer are not set to proper levels, distortions in the  
playback characteristics can result.  
Although it is recommended to set the cut-off frequency and  
output level settings as high as possible, it is difficult to notice  
the extremely low frequency bass sounds. This makes it  
possible to accidentally set the volume level too high. In order  
to prevent this, back the levels down just a bit to ensure the  
proper balance.  
Note:  
Make sure that the input levels do not reach excessive levels.  
The HTP-L50 is designed for playing back music at a normal  
volume, but if the input levels are set to enormous levels, it  
may damage the speakers. Also, always first lower the volume  
at the amplifier before changing the settings of any switches  
to prevent accidental damage.

For details on how to connect the speaker cables, see the  
previous page.  
Notes:  
• When connecting the speaker cables, be sure not to mistake  
the (+) and (–) and the L (left) and R (left). If the speaker  
cables are connecting incorrectly, there will be a loss of  
fidelity in the bass sound ranges.  
• The speakers connected to the SL-105 SPEAKER LEVEL  
OUTPUT terminals must have an impedance equal to or  
greater than the rating indicated on the amplifier connected  
to the SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT terminals. Otherwise,  
amplifier damage may occur.  
• Do not use BTL (Balanced Transformer-Less) type  
amplifiers. Using a BTL amplifier may cause damage to  
both the amplifier and the subwoofer. Ordinary amplifiers  
are not BTL amplifiers. For details, see the amplifier’s  
instruction manual.

Precaution on use  
• If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howling or  
skipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the  
unit away from the turntable or CD player or otherwise  
lower the unit’s output level.  
Placement  
• The enclosure is made of wood and therefore sensitive to  
extreme temperatures and humidity. Avoid placing the unit  
in locations subjected to direct sunlight or in humid places  
such as near an air conditioner, bathroom or kitchen, as  
well as in locations subjected to soot or steam such as near  
a kitchen table and humidifier. Otherwise, damage may  
occur.  
• This unit can handle the specified input power when it is  
used for ordinary music reproduction. If the following  
abnormal signals are fed to the unit, however, an  
overcurrent may flow in the internal circuits, causing  
burning or breakage of the wires even if the input power is  
below the specified rating.  
• Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. If water is  
spilled into the unit, not only the unit but also the  
connected amplifier (receiver) may be damaged.  
1. Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.  
2. Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting  
audio connection cables.  
(Always turn off the amplifier’s power before  
connecting or disconnecting cables.)  
• Place the unit on a level and rigid surface free from  
vibration.  
• Slip-proof spacers are provided with the SL-105. If the SL-  
105 is to be placed on flooring or other similar surfaces,  
attach these spacers to the bottom surface at the corners.  
This will not only prevent scratching, but also provide a  
stable footing. However, note that depending on the  
surface, the spacers may leave markings.  
3. Howling when a microphone is used.  
4. Abnormal sound produced when bass-range signals are  
excessively boosted by using the amplifier’s (receiver’s)  
tone controls, a graphic equalizer, etc., or when a source  
whose bass range is abnormally boosted is being played.  
This state called “rattling” occurs when the signal is  
beyond the driver’s reproduction capacity. Although it is  
not a sign of damage, decrease the speaker output level  
to prevent damage to the driver.  
• This unit is designed to be used in the upright vertical  
position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted  
position.
