Placing the SonoWave speakers

When placing the SonoWave speakers, ensure that:

It should be placed at the same height and at the normal listening ear level for the best sound performance.

It should be placed at equal distance from the TV, the FRONT R at the right hand side and FRONT L at the left hand side (as shown below.)

FRONT L

FRONT R

It should be faced straight ahead towards the listening area. Do not place at an angle as it would reduce the system performance.

Helpful Hints:

To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the SonoWave speakers too close to your TV.

Allow adequate ventilation around the AV subwoofer and DVD system.
