Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the 
speakers other than the subwoofer should be the 
same distance from the listening position (A).
The front speakers can be placed from 0.0 to 7.0 
meters (0 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening 
position.
Install the IR transmitter and IR receiver of the 
surround speaker (L) in direct line with each 
other. For details, see “To adjust the IR 
transmitter and IR receiver of the surround 
speaker (L)” (page 23).
Place speakers as illustrated below.
The following diagram indicates the infrared 
transmission area (the range that the infrared 
rays can reach).
Note
• Do not install the surround speaker (L) (or IR 
receiver) in a place exposed to direct sunlight or 
strong light such as an incandescent lamp.
• The cord of the IR transmitter and IR receiver is for 
this system only.
• Do not step on or place objects other than supplied 
speakers on the surround amplifier and speaker base.
• When you install the speaker on the surround 
amplifier or speaker base, make sure the speaker is 
properly stacked.
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or 
speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with 
the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, 
polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may 
result.
• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning 
cloth for glasses.
• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring 
powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker 
may fall down.
Tip
• If transmission is poor, you can also connect the 
surround speakers to the system by the speaker cords 
(OPTION) (supplied).
