Setup

1. Placement

Place the sound bar directly below your television, centered for optimal sound dispersion. The wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room, ideally within 30 feet of the sound bar, for best bass response. Avoid placing the subwoofer directly against a wall or in a corner if the bass becomes too boomy.
