Setup

Speaker Placement

For optimal 7.1ch virtual surround sound, position the soundbar centrally below your TV. The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room, ideally near the soundbar. The four surround speakers should be distributed to create an immersive sound field. Two front surround speakers connect to the soundbar using the provided front surround cables (FR & FL). The two rear surround speakers connect with a rear surround cable, and the rear right speaker pairs wirelessly with the soundbar.
