Placing the wireless speaker

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. Also, make sure you don’t move the wireless speaker too far behind the listening position or you will lose much of the surround sound effect.

For a greater surround sound effect from the wireless speaker, see Setting the channel levels on page 59 to increase the surround channel levels.
