Speaker Placement
Placing the Soundbar on a Table
If your tV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of 
the tV stand, centered with the tV screen. attach the supplied rubber feet to the soundbar 
as shown in the illustration.
as long as the table’s surface is flat, the soundbar will rest on the rubber feet.
Wall-Mounting the Soundbar
If your tV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount 
the soundbar on the wall directly below the tV screen.
1.  determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. make sure that the top of the 
soundbar will not block your view of the tV screen when it is mounted on the wall.
2.  mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. the holes 
for the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart and are designed to accept 
#8 screws. the top and bottom holes for each bracket are spaced 25mm apart. see 
the illustration below.
NOTE: to ensure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, laser sight or other 
device to ensure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height.
3.  If you are using the soundbar's optical digital audio input, select the extended wall-mount 
brackets. otherwise, select the shallow wall-mount brackets.
4.  attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using 
hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. note that the 
soundbar weighs 3.6kg (8 lb). be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.
5.  after making all of the connections described in the Connections section, on page 7, 
attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its feet onto the brackets’ 
vertical tabs.
 
Placing the Subwoofer
since our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer 
operates, it will perform well from just about any location in your room. however, the 
strongest bass reproduction is likely to be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner 
along the same wall as the soundbar. 
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the subwoofer’s rear panel is at least 150mm (6") from 
the wall to allow proper operation of its port tube opening.
you can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in 
the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. move around to various 
locations in the room while the system is playing and listen until you find the location 
where the bass performance is best. place the subwoofer in that location.
IMPORTANT: The maximum wireless operating distance between the soundbar and 
subwoofer is approximately 15.3m (50 feet).
