Kenwood HTB-405 Assembly instructions

Congratulations!
The HTB-405 Home Theatre System will make watching
movies at home more fun than ever. To connect your speak-
ers to the receiver follow the instructions on this sheet. To
learn how to operate your receiver please read and follow the
instruction manual included in the receiver’s box. If you’re
also connecting other equipment, such as a TV, VCR, DVD
player, CD player or other source component, use the receiv-
er’s manual in combination with the manuals that came with
those components.
Placing Your Speakers
Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below. While
you’re setting the speakers up, keep these points in mind:
• If the subwoofer causes discoloration of the TV picture,
move it away from the TV until the discoloration disap-
pears.
• Since the center speaker is magnetically shielded, you
can place it right on top of the TV without worrying about
picture discoloration.
• You can hang the speakers on the wall using heavy-duty
picture hangers.
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall yields more deep
bass output than placing it away from a wall. Placing the
subwoofer in a corner yields the deepest bass output
overall.

Connect the speakers as shown in the main diagram.
In each case, connect the colored speaker wire to corre-
sponding terminals on the speaker and receiver.
To make connecting the speakers easier, we have color-
coded the speaker wire and the terminals on the speakers,
labeled the terminals on the receiver, and pre-stripped the
insulation from the ends of the wire. DO NOT PUSH THE
WIRE TOO FAR INTO THE SPEAKER TERMINALS AS THIS WILL
NOT ALLOW THE WIRE TO MAKE PROPER CONTACT.
Setting Up Your Receiver
The receiver has a Quick Setup procedure that makes this
easy. After you’ve made all of the connections, follow these
steps. (You’ll be using the remote control):
Quick Connect Guide
HTB-405
Balancing the Speakers
Your receiver comes with the speaker volume settings pre-
balanced. If you have positioned the speakers as shown in
the diagram your system will create a spacious surround
sound environment right out of the box with no further
adjustment required.
If your room is arranged differently than shown in the dia-
gram, or if you simply want to fine-tune your system’s perfor-
mance, you can easily change the volumes of the individual
speakers to get a better balance:
1. Press the SETUP button 8 times. The display will read
“AUTO”.
2. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward once. The display
will change to “MANUAL”.
3. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the speaker you
want to adjust appears on the display. You will hear test
noise through the speaker.
4. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward to increase the
speaker’s volume, rock it backward to decrease the
speaker’s volume.
5. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on
the display while you’re adjusting the speakers—this is for
reference purposes only. However, once you have bal-
anced all the speakers you should write each speaker’s
volume setting down here for reference:
6. Press the SETUP button on the remote 5 times to exit the
setup mode.
Setting the Speaker Distances
This last step adjusts the timing of all the speakers so that
their sound arrives at the listening location at the proper time.
1. Measure the distance from each speaker to your seat.
Write the distances down.
2. Press the SETUP button on the remote 11 times. The dis-
play will read “10FT 3.0M”, and the left and right speaker
icons will flash.
3. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward or backward until
the display matches the distance from your left and right
speakers to your listening position.
4. Press the SETUP button again and repeat step 3 for the
center speaker, and again for the surround speakers.
5. When you’ve finished setting the speaker distances,
press the SETUP button 2 times to exit the setup mode.
If you have any questions about your new system, please contact our Customer Service Department at (800) KENWOOD or visit our Web site at www.kenwoodusa.com

Connect the speakers as shown in the main diagram.
In each case, connect the colored speaker wire to correspond-
ing terminals on the speaker and receiver.
To make connecting the speakers easier, we have color-coded
the speaker wire and the terminals on the speakers, labeled
the terminals on the receiver, and pre-stripped the insulation
from the ends of the wire. DO NOT PUSH THE WIRE TOO FAR
INTO THE SPEAKER TERMINALS AS THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE
WIRE TO MAKE PROPER CONTACT.
The subwoofer connects to the receiver using the audio cable:
• Connect one end of the audio cable to the input connector
on the subwoofer labeled L/MONO, and connect the other end
to the connector on the receiver labeled SUB WOOFER PRE OUT.
Using Your Subwoofer
Your SW-36HT subwoofer has features that make it easy to set
up and use:
AAuuttooPPoowweerrOOnn//OOffff
After you turn the subwoofer’s power switch On for the first
time, the subwoofer’s Auto Power On/Off feature will put it into
Quick Connect Guide
HTB-505
Standby when you’re not using it and turn it On again when you use your
system. (When the subwoofer is On the indicator on its rear panel glows
green. When it is in Standby the indicator glows red.) If you will not be
using your system for an extended period of time we recommend that
you turn the subwoofer’s power switch Off.
CCrroossssoovveerrFFiilltteerrSSwwiittcchh
Since your system’s receiver has a built-in crossover (circuitry that sepa-
rates the bass from the rest of the sound) on its subwoofer output, set
the subwoofer’s Crossover Filter Switch to Off.
VVoolluummeeCCoonnttrrooll
Initially, set the subwoofer’s volume knob to the 11 o’clock position.
During normal operation you will use the receiver’s subwoofer volume
control to adjust the subwoofer volume. (This is much more convenient
than having to reach behind the subwoofer to turn its volume knob every
time you want to adjust its volume.) If the receiver’s subwoofer volume
control won’t go loud or soft enough, re-adjust the subwoofer’s volume
knob to compensate. See the receiver’s instruction manual for details on
using the receiver’s subwoofer volume control.
Balancing the Speakers
Your receiver comes with the speaker volume settings pre-balanced. If
you have positioned the speakers as shown in the diagram your system
will create a spacious surround sound environment right out of the box
with no further adjustment required.
If your room is arranged differently than shown in the diagram, or if you
simply want to fine-tune your system’s performance, you can easily

to “MANUAL”.
3. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the speaker you want to adjust
appears on the display. You will hear test noise through the speaker.
4. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward to increase the speaker’s vol-
ume, rock it backward to decrease the speaker’s volume.
5. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on the display
while you’re adjusting the speakers—this is for reference purposes
only. However, once you have balanced all the speakers you should
write each speaker’s volume setting down here for reference:
6. Press the SETUP button on the remote 5 times to exit the setup
mode.

This last step adjusts the timing of all the speakers so that their sound
arrives at the listening location at the proper time.

tances down.
2. Press the SETUP button on the remote 11 times. The display will read

ing position.
4. Press the SETUP button again and repeat step 3 for the center speaker,
and again for the surround speakers.
5. When you’ve finished setting the speaker distances, press the SETUP
button 2 times to exit the setup mode.
