PREPARATIONS ➤aInstallation En 13
This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to the listening position and walls is important to achieving the
desired surround sound effects. Refer to pages 13 to 17 when installing the unit. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier
to connect external devices to this unit first. This will depend upon the installation location. See pages 24 to 27 for information regarding the connection of external devices.
❑Connecting the center unit and subwoofer via a wireless connection
The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the
subwoofer and the center unit. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 29).
aInstallation
Caution
• Be sure to install the center unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
Notes
• The subwoofer speaker is not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.
• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.
Recommended place for installation
Center unit
* If the center unit will be installed on a TV stand, attach
the center unit stands to increase its height. Position the
center unit so that it does not obstruct the TV’s remote
control sensor or signal transmitter for 3D glasses.
Subwoofer
• Install the unit in the center of the left and right walls.
• If the antenna is raised (p. 23), position the center unit so that
the antenna does not obstruct the TV screen.
• Attach the stands if the center unit does not sit high enough
(p. 18)*.
• The center unit can be mounted on a wall using the optional
Wall Mount Bracket SPM-K20 (p. 19).
• The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be
located at the front of the unit.
• The distance between the listening position and the
unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
• To achieve desired surround sound effects, be
sure that obstacles such as furniture may not
obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 14).
• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle
the subwoofer slightly toward the center of the
room.
• When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be
sure the rack is strong enough to support the
subwoofer and that it leaves sufficient space
for heat discharge.

This unit outputs sound beam as shown in the illustrations below. Install this unit where
there are no obstacles such as furniture obstructing the path of sound beams.
Otherwise, the desired surround sound effects may not be achieved.
If the unit is installed so that it is parallel to a wall, install it as close to the exact center of
the wall as possible.
If the unit is installed in a corner of a room, position it at a 40–50° angle to the adjacent
walls.
Parallel installation
Install this unit as close to the exact center of the wall as possible.
• If the unit cannot be installed evenly between the left and right walls, sound beams can be adjusted to
achieve natural surround sound effects (p. 17).
Ideal installation condition
Install this unit as close to the exact front of your normal listening position as possible.
The distance between listening position and the unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).

Sound beam output varies depending upon the surround setting (p. 40) and the channel
output setting (p. 75). The illustration above shows the path of sound beams when
surround playback is enabled and “Front” in the Channel Out setting is set to “Beam”.

Installing in a non-square room
Install this unit so that the sound beams can be reflected off the walls.
• If this unit cannot be repositioned, or the listening position cannot be changed, the optional YRB-100 sound
reflection board may be installed for a better surround sound experience (p. 103).

Example of installing the unit in a living room
• The legs on a table are not considered obstacles as sound beams normally pass
through them. A cupboard installed facing the wall reflects sounds.
• As the heavy curtains absorb sounds, the sound features of the listening room is
different from the case with the curtain opened and the case with the curtain closed.
Using saving settings function enables to save the best settings for each case of
listening room (p. 46).
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of
your listening room. The surround sound effects produced by this unit may not be
sufficient when this unit is installed in the following locations.
• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls
• Rooms with measurements outside the following range:
W (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft)) × H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to 11.5 ft)) × D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))
• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct the path of sound beams
• Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from the listening position to this unit
• Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls
• Rooms where the listening position is not in front of this unit
The My Surround function creates rich surround sound effects in rooms with less than
optimal surround sound conditions. See “Channel Out” (p. 75) for more information.

This unit’s AUTO SETUP (p. 32) can be used to automatically adjust sound beams to achieve the optimal surround playback environment according to the listening room setup. In
addition to using AUTO SETUP, sound beams can be adjusted manually to achieve surround sound effects best suited to the listening room setup when the unit is installed as
described below.
Installing the unit near a corner of the room
When installing the unit near a corner of the room as shown in the illustration below,
front channel sound may seem to come from an unnatural direction if beam settings are
configured using AUTO SETUP.
Should this occur, adjust the left and right front channels using “Image Location” (p. 74)
in the setup menu to achieve more natural sound.
Installing the unit in an irregularly shaped room
When the unit is installed in a room that is not rectangular, sound beams may not be
properly reflected off the walls as shown in the illustration below.
Should this occur, perform AUTO SETUP, and then adjust the angle of beam from the
channel from which sound is not properly heard using “Horizontal Angle” (p. 72) in the
setup menu to achieve even distribution of sound.
