This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to both the listening position and walls is important to achieving the
desired surround sound effects. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first. This
will depend upon the installation location. See “Connections” (p. 24) for more information.
❑
Wireless connections
The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the
subwoofer and the center unit. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 29).
Installation
Notes
• Be sure to install this unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
• The subwoofer speakers are not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.
• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.
Recommended place for installation
Center unit
Subwoofer
* Use the TV Remote Repeater function if the center unit
obstructs the remote control sensor on the TV (p. 15).
If the center unit cannot be installed on a TV stand
because the stand is too high, the height of the center
unit can be adjusted (p. 16).
• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the
subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room.
• When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be sure
the rack is strong enough to support the subwoofer
and that it leaves sufficient space for heat
discharge.
• The subwoofer can also be placed on its side
• Install the center unit in the center of the left and right
walls.
• Place the center unit on a TV stand in front of the TV*.
• This unit can be mounted on a wall using the optional
Wall Mount Bracket SPM-K20 (p. 19).
• The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be
located at the front of the center unit.
• The distance between the listening position and the
center unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
• To achieve desired surround sound effects, be
sure that obstacles such as furniture may not
obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 12).
