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.

• 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).
• When you change the positions of the speakers, it is
recommended that you change the settings. For
details, see “Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a
Room” (page 74) and “Calibrating the Appropriate
Settings Automatically” (page 76).
