12 | ENGSOUNDBAR PLACEMENTRECOMMENDATIONSFor best performance, follow these recommendations when placing the soundbar:Do NOT place any objects on top of the soundbar.To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft. (0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the soundbar. Place the soundbar outside and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video components and direct heat sources.Place the soundbar directly below (preferred) or above your TV with the grille facing into the room.Place the soundbar on its rubber feet on a stable and level surface. For proper support, both feet must be resting on the surface. Vibration can cause the soundbar to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood.Keep the back side of the soundbar at least 0.4 in. (1 cm) from any other surface. Blocking the ports on this side aects acoustic performance.Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.For best sound quality, do NOT place the soundbar in an enclosed cabinet or diagonally in a corner.If placing the soundbar on a shelf or TV stand, position the front of the soundbar as close as possible to the front edge of the shelf or TV stand for optimal acoustic performance.CAUTION: Do NOT place the soundbar on its front, back or top when in use.
