Important points on speaker location

• Place the Sound Bar speaker at the position just in front of near the television.
• Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
• The subwoofer vibrates while reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy surface.
• The subwoofer reproduces only lower frequency bass tones.
• Since the human ear cannot identify the direction of low bass tones, the subwoofer can usually be placed freely in the room
for the best sound result.
• Bass sound is easily affected by the position of the subwoofer. If the bass tones in the listening position seem much too low
or too high, try changing your listening position. If the bass tone level changes when you change the listening position, try
relocating the subwoofer.

Magnetically shielded speakers

The Sound Bar speaker (left/center/right) may be placed near the TV as it is magnetically shielded. However,
depending on your TV (cathode ray tube), color variation may occur on the TV screen.
If color variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the color variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
If a magnet or other magnetic source is positioned near the TV, the combined magnetic field with that of the
speakers may cause color variation to occur on the TV screen.
NOTE
• The surround speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded.
• If the color variation is still present, you may need to have your TV inspected.
