This section describes a suitable installation location to install the unit using a metal wall bracket, a rack or a stand.
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 the unit is installed in the following
locations.
• Rooms with surfaces inadequate for reflecting sound
beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent surfaces
• Rooms with measurements outside the following range
W (3 to 7 m) x H (2 to 3.5 m) x D (3 to 7 m)
• Rooms with less than 2 m from the listening position to
the speaker positions
• 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
Make sure you leave an adequate amount of ventilation
space so that heat can escape. Make at least 5 cm of space
above or below this unit.
• This unit weighs 13.0 kg. Be sure to install this unit where it
will not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake,
and where it is out of the reach of children.
• When using a cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV, do not install this
unit directly above your TV.
• This unit is shielded against magnetic rays. However, if the
picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we
recommend moving the speakers 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.
You may install this unit in parallel with the wall or in the
corner.
