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 away from
other audio/video components 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

Acoustimass® 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 aect
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 its rubber feet on a stable and level surface
directly above or below your TV.
• For information on attaching rubber feet, see page 41.
Rear speakers/
wireless receivers
• For the best quality sound, place the rear satellites so that they are
above and behind the seated listeners and are as widely spaced as your
room allows.
• 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.
