How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.

directly on the TV.
Place to the right or left of the
TV, on the floor or a sturdy

To avoid interference, maintain the following
distances between the wireless system and other
electronic devices that use the same radio frequency
(2.4 GHz band).
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these
other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the
wireless link indicator (“ [W1] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief
interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best
possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location
outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system
nearer to the main unit.
