Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position (A).
Place the IR transmitter and IR receiver of the
surround speaker (L) in direct line with each
other. For details, see “To adjust the IR
transmitter and IR receiver of the surround
speaker (L)” (page 21).
Place speakers as illustrated below.
The following diagram indicates the infrared
transmission area (the range that the infrared
rays can reach).
Note
• Do not place the IR receiver of 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 that are attached with the speakers on
a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor,
as staining or discoloration may result.
• 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 27.
• You can swap the surround speaker (L) and (R)
positions, depending on the wall outlet and speaker
layout (page 21).
• If transmission is poor, you can also connect the
surround speakers to the unit by the speaker cords
(OPTION, gray/blue) (supplied).
• When you change the positions of the speakers, it is
recommended that you change the settings. For
details, see “Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a
Room” (page 77) and “Calibrating the Appropriate
Settings Automatically” (page 79).
