Placing the speakers and wireless speaker system

01

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

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

The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listen- ing to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recom- mended.

For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 6–9 ft. / 2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

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

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

Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

To compensate for channel delay with this system, you should adjust the sur- round speaker distance setting in Choos- ing your receiver setup (in the receiver manual) so that it is equal to the front speaker distance setting.

If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it by suitable means to reduce the risk of dam- age or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of dam- age or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

The wireless speaker is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.

The wireless speaker can be used at distances of up to 33 ft. / 10m from the transmitter. This range may change depending on the environment.

Placing the transmitter and the wireless speaker too close together will result in an unstable signal. Make sure they are at more than 3.3 ft. / 1 m apart for the best reception.
