This section describes a suitable installation location to install this unit using a metal wall bracket, a rack or a stand.
Depending on your installation environment, connections with external components can be done before installing this
unit. We recommend that you temporarily place and arrange all components, including this unit, in order to decide which
procedure should come first. Especially when you make a connection over HDMI, we recommend that you make a
connection first before installation (see page 21).
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected
sound beams off the walls of your listening room. The
surround sound effects produced by this unit may not be
sufficient when this unit is installed in the following
locations.
• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound
beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls
• Rooms with measurements outside the following
range: W (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft)) x H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to
11.5 ft)) x D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))
• Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from the listening
position to this unit
• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to
obstruct the path of sound beams
• Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls
• Rooms where the listening position is not in front of
this unit

• You can enjoy surround sound by selecting My Surround (see
page 55) as the beam mode even if your listening room may not
fulfill the above conditions (except when the listening position
is not directly facing toward the front of this unit).
• You can also enjoy surround sound by selecting 2-channel or 5-
channel stereo playback (see page 60) or My Beam (see
page 61) as the beam mode even if your listening room may not

Make sure you leave an adequate amount of ventilation
space so that heat can escape. Make at least 5 cm (2 in) of
space above or below this unit.

your listening room. Please install this unit using a metal wall
bracket, a rack, or a stand.

unit directly above your TV.

picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we
recommend moving this unit away from your TV.
Install this unit where there are no obstacles such as
furniture obstructing the path of sound beams. Otherwise,
the desired surround sound effects may not be achieved.
