Installation
≥
Place the speakers at approximately the same distance from the listening position.
≥
The speakers produce bass sound from the bass reflex ports on the rear as well as from the front. Install the speakers at least
5 cm (2
z
) away from the walls so that they do not cover the bass reflex ports on the rear.

For optimum position
The quality and volume of the bass sound, sound localisation performance, sound ambience, and other factors that determine the
audio quality vary depending on the installation location of this unit, listening position, room conditions, and other factors. Refer to
the information below when installing the speakers.
Determining an installation location.
≥
Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.
≥
To minimise the gap in audio quality between the left and right speakers, install them so that acoustic conditions (reflection and
absorption of sound) around them are the same.
Adjusting the distances between the rear of the speakers and the walls
If you install the speakers close to a wall or in a corner, the bass sound will be more powerful; however, when the speakers are
too close to it, sound localisation performance and sound ambience may deteriorate. If this occurs, adjust the distance between
the speakers and the front wall, which should be between 30 cm (12
z
) to 60 cm (24
z
). (Please note that the distance between the
speakers and the side walls should be greater than 60 cm (24
z
).)
Adjusting the height and angle of the speakers
Using stands or similar items, place the speakers at a height about level with the listener’s ears. Angle the front side of the
speakers toward the listener. Following these steps will help the speakers deliver more precise sound localisation.
Adjusting the acoustics of the room and speaker layout
Depending on the room environment (including the size and shape of the room, distance to the walls and reverberation level),
certain sounds may be exaggerated or suppressed, making them difficult to hear. In such cases, adjusting the reverberation level
by moving the speakers, changing your listening position or covering the walls and windows with thick curtains may help resolve
the problem.
60°
e.g.,
The angle is approximate.
