For the best possible surround sound, all the 
speakers other than the subwoofer should be 
placed at the same distance from the listening 
position (1). It is recommended that the 
subwoofer should be placed (2).
Place speakers and subwoofer as illustrated 
below.Tip You can also place the subwoofer either side, facing 
the listening position.
 When you install the speaker, the speaker face may be 
unstable. In this case, use a commercially available 
wire clamper or a commercially available tape, etc., 
to secure the speaker cord.
Using the subwoofer 
efficientlyTo reinforce the bass sound, place the subwoofer 
possible close to a wall.Note If the subwoofer is to be placed ahead of the front 
speaker, the distance should be less than 0.5 m.*
 You may not get the bass sound efficiently when the 
subwoofer is placed outside (3). You need to adjust 
the setting of the distance from the listening position.
