SYSTEM SETUP Français Español English SYSTEM SETUP Selecting a location for your CineMateTM speaker system Use the following guidelines to choose locations and positions for the speakers and the Interface module. While these guidelines are offered to ensure the best system performance, you may find other placement variations that are more convenient and provide the sound you enjoy. Note: Keep in mind that the Acoustimass® module is the only part of this system that connects to a power outlet. Positioning the Interface module The Interface module receives commands from the universal remote control and provides audio input connections for the CineMateTM speaker system. The remote control commands allow you to turn the speakers on, change the volume, and mute or turn off the speaker system. • Position the Interface module on a flat surface near the TV and other home theater equipment (Figure 2). The remote should have a clear line of sight to the Interface module, the TV, and any other equipment it will control. • Keep the Interface module within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of the Acoustimass module, to which it connects. • If you position the Interface module on a shelf, make sure the front edge of the module is flush with the front edge of the shelf. If on a high shelf, make sure the front edge of the module extends slightly past the front of the shelf, so the shelf does not block signals from the remote control. • Do not position the Interface module in direct sunlight. • Peel the protective film off the lens on the front of the Interface module. CAUTION: When positioning the Interface module, avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the TV or other electronic equipment.
