Positioning the subwoofer
 
Although the placement of the subwoofer is not as 
critical as that of the other speakers, it is best to 
place the subwoofer outside either the right or left 
front speaker as shown in figure A.
The placement shown in Figure B is also accept-
able. However, in some cases, if you listen from 
the center of the room, the super-bass range from 
the subwoofer may sound weak. This is due to 
“standing waves” that can develop between paral-
lel walls that effectively diminish or cancel the 
bass sound. In this event, face the subwoofer 
obliquely to the wall. It also may help to break up 
the parallel surface by placing bookshelves or 
other large objects along the wall.
 
Non-skid pads:
 
 Place the included non-skid 
pads at the four corners of the bottom of the sub-
woofer to prevent the subwoofer from sliding due 
to vibration or minor impact.
