This unit outputs sound beam as shown in the illustrations below. 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.
If the unit is installed so that it is parallel to a wall, install it as close to the exact center of
the wall as possible.
If the unit is installed in a corner of a room, position it at a 40–50° angle to the adjacent
walls.
Parallel installation
Install this unit as close to the exact center of the wall as possible.
• If the unit cannot be installed evenly between the left and right walls, sound beams can be adjusted to
achieve natural surround sound effects (p. 17).
Ideal installation condition
Install this unit as close to the exact front of your normal listening position as possible.
The distance between listening position and the unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
