Step 4: Positioning and adjusting the subwoofer
Placing the subwoofe
r
between the cente
r
and f
r
ont

s makes even music sou
r
ces sound mo

r
al
(If the
r
e is only one subwoofe
r
, it doesn’t matte
r
if it is
p
laced on the left o
r
r
ight side). The low bass sound
out
p
ut f
r
om the subwoofe
r
is not di
r
ectional and the
r
e is
no need to adjust the height. No
r
mally the subwoofe
r
is
p
laced on the floo
r
. Put it in a
p
osition at which it will not
cancel out the bass sound out
p
ut f
r
om the othe
r
s
p
eake
r
s. Also note that
p
lacing it nea
r
a wall may
r
esult
in sym
p
athetic vib
r
ations with the building that could
excessively am
p
lify the bass sound.
If the subwoofe
r
must be installed nea
r
a wall,
p
lace it at
an angle so that it is not
p
a
r
allel to the wall su
r
face. This
can hel
p
r
educe any sym
p
athetic vib
r
ations, but
de
p
ending on the sha
p
e of the
r
oom this could
r
esult in
standing waves. Howeve
r
, even if standing waves a
r
e
gene
r
ated, thei
r
influence on the sound quality can be
pr
evented using the Auto MCACC’s standing wave
cont
r
ol function (

Tip
• Setting the subwoofe

with the line connecting the

r
and f

Step 5: Default settings with the Auto MCACC
Setup (auto sound field correction) function
It is mo

(

leted.
Tip
• The distance to the subwoofe
r
may be slightly la
r
ge
r
than the distance actually measu
r
ed with a ta
p
e
measu
r
e, etc. This is because this distance is
co
rr
ected fo
r
elect
r
ic delay, and is not a
pr
oblem.
