Step 4: Positioning the System

Positioning the speakers

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A). All the speakers can be placed from 0.0 to 7.0 meters (A) from the listening position.

Install the IR transmitter and IR receiver of the surround speaker (L) in direct line with each other. For details, see “Adjusting the IR transmitter and IR receiver of the surround speaker (L)” (page 28).

Place speakers as illustrated below.

Note

•Do not install the surround speaker (L) in a place exposed to direct sunlight or strong light such as an incandescent lamp.

•The cord of the IR transmitter is for this system only.

•Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

•Do not place the speakers in locations that are:

–Extremely hot or cold

–Dusty or dirty

–Very humid

–Subject to vibrations

–Subject to direct sunlight

•Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

•When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses.

•Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

•Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.

Tip

•You can install the IR transmitter on a wall for better positioning. For details, see page 33.

•You can swap the surround speaker (L) and (R) positions, depending on the wall outlet and speaker layout (page 100).

•When you change the positions of the speakers, it is recommended that you change the settings. For details, see “Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 88).
