In some installations, you may discover that some other company is trying to use the same infrared control codes used by the PAV, or vice versa. This unfortunate circumstance has become more common in recent years thanks to the explosion of IR-controlledproducts in the home. Fortunately, the PAV allows you to use any of eight different sets of IR codes, which are accessed by changing the “IR ad- dress” used by the PAV

Room Reverberation The Boundary Effect
Room Acoustics
The Boundary Effect is particularly important when it comes time to position the front speakers. If they are not placed consistently with regard to adjacent room boundaries, the tonal balance or timbre of sounds panned across the front may change, weakening the illusion of a real object moving across the soundstage. The front Left, Center and Right speakers should be the same distance from the wall behind them, and there should be approximate symmetry of the Left and Right speakers with respect to their respective side walls
