Setting up your home theater system
1 Finding a location for your home theater system
Install your home theater system on a stable flat surface. Position your receiver so that it
has a direct line of sight to the remote control.

equipment. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation to your system.
CAUTION

been connected. Never make or change any connections with the power turned on.

3 Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The
volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position,
the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass
sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the
width of the wall, as shown.
