Placing the Soundbar on a Table
If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of
the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. As long as the surface of the table is flat, the
soundbar will rest on its rubber bumpers.
If your TV is located in an entertainment or media center, you can mount the soundbar in
a space directly above or below the TV.
Warning:
Do NOT place the soundbar directly on top of a TV or at the front of a table or
cabinet. It could roll forward and injure someone.
Wall-Mounting the Soundbar
If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount
the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.
Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top
1.
of the soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted
on the wall.
Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The
2.
holes for the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm (23-5/8") apart. The
top and bottom holes for each bracket are spaced 25mm (1") apart. See the
illustration below.
NOTE: To ensure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, laser sight or
other device to help you determine that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same
height.
Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using
hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. Note that the
soundbar weighs 3.67kg (8.1 lb). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.
After making all of the connections described in the
Connections
section, on page 8,
attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its rubber bumpers onto the
brackets’ vertical tabs.
Placing the Subwoofer
Since our ears cannot locate the source of sounds at the low frequencies that the
subwoofer produces, it will perform well from just about any location in your room.
However, you are likely to hear the strongest bass reproduction when you place the
subwoofer in a corner along the same wall as the soundbar.
You can determine the best location for the subwoofer by temporarily placing it in the
listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to various
locations in the room while the system is playing, and listen until you find the location
where the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
