Positioning
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 6.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “Auto Speaker Setup”
(➜ page 33) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them an equal distance away from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Positioning
Wireless system§ 
Place the wireless system
within approximately 10 m (33 ft) from the main unit.
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless equipment and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m
Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m

The wireless equipment will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its
communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator [“ [W1] ” or “ [WS] ([PT1050] only)”] flashes on the
main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless equipment or move the wireless equipment nearer to the main unit.
