Setup Guide
1. Placement
Optimal placement is crucial for the best audio experience.
- Soundbar: Place the soundbar centrally below your TV. It can be placed on a tabletop or wall-mounted.
- Subwoofer: Position the wireless subwoofer on the floor, ideally in the front of the room, near the soundbar. Experiment with placement for optimal bass response.
- Satellite Speakers: Place the satellite speakers behind your primary listening position, separated by approximately 10 feet, at ear level when seated. This creates an immersive surround sound field.
