PREPARATIONS ➤ a Installation En 13
This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to the listening position and walls is important to achieving the
desired surround sound effects. Refer to pages 13 to 17 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 24 to 27 for information regarding the connection of external devices.
❑ Connecting the center unit and subwoofer via a wireless connection
The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the
subwoofer and the center unit. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 29).
a Installation
Caution
• Be sure to install the center unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
Notes
• The subwoofer speaker is not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.
• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.
Recommended place for installation
Center unit
* If the center unit will be installed on a TV stand, attach
the center unit stands to increase its height. Position the
center unit so that it does not obstruct the TV’s remote
control sensor or signal transmitter for 3D glasses.
Subwoofer
• Install the unit in the center of the left and right walls.
• If the antenna is raised (p. 23), position the center unit so that
the antenna does not obstruct the TV screen.
• Attach the stands if the center unit does not sit high enough
(p. 18)*.
• The center unit can be mounted on a wall using the optional
Wall Mount Bracket SPM-K20 (p. 19).
• The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be
located at the front of the unit.
• The distance between the listening position and the
unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
• To achieve desired surround sound effects, be
sure that obstacles such as furniture may not
obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 14).
• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle
the subwoofer slightly toward the center of the
room.
• When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be
sure the rack is strong enough to support the
subwoofer and that it leaves sufficient space
for heat discharge.
