Surround

speakers

The

surround

(rear)

speakers

create

an

area

of

sound

around

the

listener.

Place

them

in

the

back

half

of

your

room.

Direct

the

cubes

so

that

you

do

not

pinpoint

the

exact

location

of

the

sound

source

(see

Figure

3).

Each

surround

cable

is

50

feet

(15

m)

long.

1.

Place

the

speakers

at

the

listeners'

ear

height

or

higher,

if

possible.

Left

2.

Direct

the

cubes

to

reflect

sound

off

one

or

more

surfaces.

The

longer

the

path

from

the

speaker

to

your

ear,

the

better.

3.

Do

not

direct

the

sound

straight

at

the

listener,

if

possible.

Bass

module

location

Follow

these

guidelines

to

select

a

location

for

the

bass

module.

Note:

To

avoid

interference

with

the

7V

picture,

place

the

bass

module

at

least

3

feet

(1

m)

from

the

Ti!

1.

Place

the

bass

module

along

the

same

wall

as

the

TV,

or

close

to

the

same

end

of

the

room

as

the

front

speakers

(see

Figure

3).

2.

Select

a

convenient

location

-

under

a

table,

behind

a

sofa.

Do

not

allow

fumiture

or

drapes

to

block

the

ventilation

openings

of

the

bass

module.

3.

Place

the

bass

module

within

reach

of

the

audio

input

cable,

speaker

cables,

and

an

electric

outlet.

4.

Select

a

position

for

the

bass

module

(see

Figure

4).

For

proper

ventilation,

place

it

on

the

long

edge,

with

the

connectors

facing

the

floor.

An

alternate

position

is

on

its

largest

side,

with

the

bass

and

treble

controls

facing

up.

Do

not

place

the

bass

module

on

either

end,

as

shown

by

the

last

two

views

in

Figure

4.

5.

Once

you

have

selected

a

position

for

the

bass

module,

place

the

four

self-adhesive

rubber

feet

near

the

corners

of

the

bottom

surface.

The

rubber

feet

provide

increased

stability

and

protection

from

scratches.

6.

Aim

the

port

(the

round

opening)

into

the

room

or

along

the

wall

to

avoid

blocking

the

port

or

cleating

too

much

bass.

7.

For

best

bass

performance,

do

not

place

the

port

at

equal

distances

from

any

two

walls

or

from

a

wall

and

the

ceiling.

Controller

location

Select

a

location

for

the

controller,

either

in

view

or

hidden

away.

1.

Place

the

controller

close

enough

to

the

sound

sources

(TV,

VCR,

etc.)

to

allow

for

cable

length.

If

you

need

additional

audio

and/or

video

cables

to

connect

all

of

your

compo-

nents,

see

your

dealer

or

installer.

2.

Place

the

controller

within

30

feet

(9

m)

of

the

bass

module

(the

length

of

the

audio

input

cable).

Remote

sensor

location

Place

the

remote

sensor

in

a

location

which

is

convenient

for

aiming

the

remote

signal,

usually

above

or

below

your

satellite

receiver

(see

Figure

6).

Position

the

black

housing

of

the

sensor

light

in

front

of

the

receiver.

Slip

the

cable

housing

and

cable

under

or

over

the

receiver.

Do

not

block

the

front

of

the

sensor

—

it

receives

remote

control

signals.
