UNIT PLACEMENT

RECOMMENDATIONS

For best performance, follow these recommendations when placing the bass module:
Do NOT place any objects on top of the bass module.
To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft. (0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the bass module. Place the bass module outside and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video components and direct heat sources.
Place the bass module on a stable and level surface. Vibration can cause the bass module to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood.
Place the bass module along the same wall as your TV, or along any other wall in the front third of the room.
Keep the front side of the bass module (the side opposite the POWER connector) at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) from any other surface. Blocking the port on the bottom of this side may affect acoustic performance.

For more bass, place the bass module closer to walls and corners. For less bass, place the bass module further from walls and corners.

Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.

Do NOT place the bass module on its top or sides when in use.

PLACING A SECOND DEVICE

Try placing each bass module in multiple locations to see what sounds best for your listening area. After placing a module in a new location, run ADAPTiQ audio calibration using the instructions in your soundbar owner's guide. For more bass, place the modules closer to each other or closer to walls and corners.

CONNECT THE DEVICE TO POWER

1. Connect the power cord to the connector on the bass module.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC (mains) power outlet.
