SonoWave speakers on the wall.’
APlace the SonoWave speakers at the
normal listening ear level, equal distance
from the TV and face straight ahead
towards the listening area.
BPlace the subwoofer at the corner of the
room. Keep at least one meter away
from the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is only
a guideline that will provide great system
performance. You may nd other placement
choices that are more suitable for your room
layout and provide the sound experience you
enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not
position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– Do not place the SonoWave speakers at
an angle as it would reduce the system
performance.
– For SonoWave speakers setting, see
‘Getting Started - Step 6: Setting the
SonoWave speakers.’
