Placement Guidelines

To avoid interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 3 ft. (0.3 0.9 m) away from the system. Place your system outside of and away from metal objects and direct heat sources.

Component	Recommended placement
Console	Place the console near your components. The recommended placement is near your TV. Do NOT place the TV or any other components on top of your console. Place your console in a well-ventilated area. Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby. Note: Until your system is completely installed, keep the control console positioned for easy access to its rear connector panel.
Acoustimass® wireless bass module	Stand the bass module on its rubber feet along the same wall as your TV, or along any other wall in the front third of the room. Choose a stable and level surface. Vibration can cause the bass module to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood. Keep the front side of the bass module at least 3 in. (8 cm) from any other surface. Blocking the port on the bottom of this side can affect acoustic performance. Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.
Front speakers	Place one speaker to the left and one speaker to the right of the TV. If placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at the front edge of the shelf.
Center speaker	Place the center speaker on a stable and level surface directly above or below your TV.
Rear speakers/ wireless receivers	Place the rear speakers toward the back of the room behind the viewers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible. Confirm that the switch on one wireless receiver is set to L (left). Confirm that the switch on the other wireless receiver is set to R (right). Facing the TV, place the speaker and L wireless receiver on the left side of the room. Facing the TV, place the speaker and R wireless receiver on the right side of the room. Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet near each wireless receiver.
