SPEAKER PLACEMENT

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Place the speaker outside of and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video

components, and direct heat sources.

• Place the speaker directly below (preferred) or above your TV with the grille facing

into the room.

• Place the speaker on its rubber feet on a stable and level surface. For proper

support, both feet must be resting on the surface. Vibration can cause the speaker

to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood.

• If placing the speaker on a shelf or TV stand, position the front of the speaker as

close as possible to the front edge of the shelf or stand for optimal sound quality.

• Keep the back side of the speaker at least 0.4 in (1 cm) from any other surface.

Blocking the ports on this side aects sound quality.

• Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.

• To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft (0.3 – 0.9 m)

away from the speaker.

• For best sound quality, don’t place the speaker in an enclosed cabinet or diagonally

in a corner.

• Don’t place any objects on top of the speaker.

CAUTION: Do NOT place the speaker on its front, back, or top when in use.
