Selecting locations for your 3•2•1 GSX system components
Use the following guidelines and Figure 2 to choose locations and positions for the
components of your 3•2•1 GSX home entertainment system.
Note: While these guidelines are offered to help provide great system performance, you may find
other placement choices that are more convenient and provide the sound you enjoy.

Positioning the media center

CAUTION: Do not block any ventilation openings. For reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, put the product in a position and location that will not interfere with its
proper ventilation. For example, do not place the product on a bed, sofa, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings. Do not put it in a built-in system, such as a bookcase or
cabinet, that may keep air from flowing through its ventilation openings.
• Place the media center where nothing obstructs opening the disc tray on its front panel.
• Position the media center close enough to the Acoustimass® module and the speakers so
that all the cables will reach.
• Make sure the media center is close enough to additional source devices (TV, VCR, or cable
box) so that all the cables will reach.
• Make sure that the front of the media center is unobstructed so that it may receive
IR (infrared) commands from the remote control.
