Placing the wireless speaker system

The illustration below shows a typical speaker setup using the wireless speaker for multichannel sound.

Transmitter

TV/DVD player

(or mini-component)

Listening position

Wireless speaker

Where you put the wireless speaker has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system. See also Radio wave reflections on page 24 and Scope of operation on page 25 for more on reception troubleshooting.

•For best surround sound, make sure to place the wireless speaker directly behind the center of the listening position and no higher than ear level.

•Placing the wireless speaker too far behind the listening position will result in little surround sound effect.

•Make sure that the wireless speaker is securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes. The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.

•The wireless speaker can be used at distances of up to 10m from the transmitter. This range may change depending on the environment.

•Poor reception may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped. This is not a malfunction. Try changing the location or orientation of the transmitter and/or the wireless speaker to improve reception.

•Placing the wireless speaker and transmitter too close together may result in poor reception. Keep a distance of least 1m for best sound quality.
