INSTALLATION
Speaker Installation
The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making
use of the fact that the human ear loses the sense of
direction of low-pitched sound. Since the sense of direction
is lost, the subwoofer can be installed almost anywhere. If
it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the left
and right speakers may become unnatural.
Subwoofer Installation Criteria (Å)
1 Left speaker
2 Right speaker
3 Recommended installation range for the subwoofer
4 Listening position
An example of speaker positioning (i)
1 Front left speaker
2 Center speaker
3 Front right speaker
4 Subwoofer
5 Listening area
6 Surround speaker left
7 Surround speaker right
NOTE:
·
Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances
from the TV set.
·
Install the center speakers above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
·
The rear (surround) speakers are most effective when installed
in parallel locations directly to the side, or slightly behind, the
listener, at a level about 1 meter above the listener's ears.
Installation Precautions
· Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity.
· Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating
equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as
these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and
internal components. Also, do not install the unit where
there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking
tables and other locations where the unit would be
exposed to heat, steam and soot.)
· Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the unit.
· Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks
which are sensitive to magnetic fields
· Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of
the tuner, as noise can be caused with installation close
to the antenna cable. In such a case, use this unit at a
position away from the antenna and the antenna cable,
or when playback of extra bass is not required, switch off
the power for this unit.
