PREPARATIONS ➤ a Installation En 12
This unit reflects sound beams off of walls and a ceiling to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to the listening position, walls, and a ceiling is important
to achieving the desired surround sound effects. Refer to pages 12 to 16 when installing the unit. 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 pages 22 to 25 for information regarding the connection of external
devices.
