Installations

Place the unit on a flat surface such as on top of a TV
cabinet, and then place a TV on top of the unit.
Cautions
• TVs that can be placed on the unit are flat-screen TVs that weigh
no more than 40 kg (88.1 lbs), have bases no wider than 750 mm
(29-1/2") and no deeper than 340 mm (13-3/8"), and have
screens no larger than 55 inches. CRT TVs cannot be placed on
the unit.
• Place the TV so that its base does not protrude from the unit's
edges. If the TV base is too large to fit on top of the unit, place
the unit in another location such as on an open shelf. In that
case, make sure that the shelf is well-ventilated with enough
clearance around the unit to prevent the heat from accumulating
inside the unit.
• Place the unit so that it does not protrude from the TV cabinet's
edges.
• Do not place any device other than a TV on the unit. If a device
such as a BD player is placed on the unit, a malfunction due to
vibrations may occur, or the TV installation may become
unstable. Furthermore, if a hard object is placed on the unit, it
may cause scratches on the unit.
• Never fix the unit to a wall or other surface using a fall prevention
device, such as wire or bracket, supplied with the TV. Doing so
may cause the unit fall together with the TV if an accident such
as an earthquake occurs. Read the instruction manual of your TV
carefully and fix the TV to a wall or sturdy object following the
instruction.
• The unit contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place
magnetically sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near the unit.
• Determine the installation location considering the connection
with external devices (such as a TV).
Obtaining effective surround sound
effect
To obtain effective surround sound effect, observe the
following.
• Keep a distance of more than 2 meters (6.6 ft) between the unit
and listener.
• Install the unit in front of the listening position.
• If the sound beams are blocked by obstacles such as furniture,
adjust the position of the unit or the obstacles.
Optimizing the surround sound effect for
the installation position
The unit achieves surround sound by reflecting sound
beams off walls. The optimum surround sound effect is
achieved by setting an SRT position according to the
installation position of the unit. After turning on the unit,
hold down the SRT POSITION key that corresponds to
the installation position for more than 3 seconds.
For details, refer to "Setting a surround sound effect for
the installation position (SRT position)" (p.10).
Cautions
Effective surround effect may not be achieved in the following
environment.
• Sound beams are blocked by obstacles such as furniture.
• The room size is not within the following dimensions;
Width: 3 meters to 7 meters (9.8 ft to 23 ft)
Depth: 3 meters to 7 meters (9.8 ft to 23 ft)
Height: 2 meters to 3.5 meters (6.6 ft to 11.5 ft)
• Listening position is too close to the unit.
• The unit is installed too close to the left or right wall.
• The unit is installed in the corner of the room.
• There is no wall for reflecting sound beam on the path of the
sound beams.
