Frequently Asked Questions - HTP-588 ONKYO

How do I connect the subwoofer to my receiver?

Use a standard RCA subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer's LFE input to the receiver's subwoofer pre-out. Ensure both devices are powered off during connection.

Can I use these speakers with any AV receiver?

Yes, the speakers have an 8 ohm impedance and are compatible with most AV receivers. Check that your receiver can output at least the recommended power (100W per channel for front).

What is the recommended crossover setting?

Set the crossover frequency on your receiver to 80 Hz for a seamless blend between the satellite speakers and subwoofer. Adjust based on room acoustics.

How do I clean the speaker grilles?

Remove the grilles carefully and vacuum with a brush attachment. For stubborn dirt, gently dab with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to dry fully before reattaching.

My surround speakers produce no sound. What should I check?

Verify that your receiver is set to a multichannel mode (e.g., Dolby Pro Logic or 5.1) and check the speaker wire connections at both ends. Also ensure the receiver's speaker setup recognizes surround channels.

Can I wall-mount the front or surround speakers?

Yes, the speakers have keyhole slots on the back for wall brackets. Use appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure the bracket can support the weight (12 lbs for front).

What is the power consumption of the subwoofer?

The built-in amplifier draws up to 150W RMS. Standby power consumption is less than 0.5W. Always switch off when not in use to save energy.

The speakers sound distorted at high volume. What can I do?

Reduce the volume on the receiver; distortion may indicate clipping. Ensure the receiver's power is not exceeding the speaker's handling capacity. Check for loose connections and proper crossover settings.

How do I update the firmware on the HTP-588 system?

This speaker system does not have firmware updates as it is a passive speaker system. If you have an Onkyo receiver, check the receiver's manual for firmware updates.

Where can I find replacement speaker drivers?

Contact Onkyo customer support or an authorized service center. Provide the model number (HTP-588) and the specific speaker (front, center, surround) to order the correct driver.

Caution

- The front grilles are not designed to be removed so do not attempt to remove them forcibly, as this will damage them.

Status indicator

Off: Subwoofer in standby mode or disconnected from power source Blue:Subwoofer on

The status indicator lights blue when low frequency sound is being passed through the speaker.

The indicator does not light in the normal dialog or high frequency sound.

Note

- The indicator does not indicate that power supply of the subwoofer has turned on.

With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-658 automatically turns on when an input signal is detected in standby mode. When there's no input signal for a while, the SKW-658 automatically enters standby mode.

OUTPUT LEVEL control

This control is used to adjust the volume of the subwoofer.

LINE INPUT

This RCA input should be connected to the subwoofer pre out on your AV 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.

Before Using the Home Theater Speaker Package

Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform

We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, then provide a more stable platform. Use rubber stoppers for the center speaker.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

En-2

Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there's a tempta set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule can set the subwoofer level to what you think is the op level, and then back it off slightly.

Wall Mounting

To mount the front/surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.

To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall.

Keyhole slots for wall mounting

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 5/16" (8 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (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 about 3/16" (5 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional).

Enjoying Home Theater

The Home Theater means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home — just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

①Front speakers (SKF-594)

They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Height speakers

This speaker is type of integrated with the front speakers and height speakers. The height speakers designed with the top of the front speakers are facing toward the ceiling to create an elevated audio effect in the Dolby Atmos and Dolby Surround listening modes by providing sounds echoing off the ceiling.

② Center speaker (SKC-594)

Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

③Surround speakers (SKR-594)

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

④Subwoofer (SKW-658)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel and bass from the satellite speakers when a crossover is specified. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front wall, as shown.

Connecting the Speakers

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.

Connect positive (+) terminals to only

positive (+) terminals, 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 amplifier.

* Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the subwoofer's LINE INPUT to your AV receiver's SUBWOOFER jack.

Note

For non-magnetic shielded speakers:

Try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration 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.
