SETUP SOUND STAND SYSTEM
The AMOY I soundbase/sound stand system is designed for TVs or Monitors that weigh no more
than 40lb (18kg) and have bases no wider than 20”
(508mm) and no deeper than 10 1/4” (260mm). Most
42” TVs and smaller meet these requirements.
NOTE: Do NOT place a CRT type TV on this system, it is not designed for use with this type of TV
Placement Guidelines
The base of your TV should be centered on top of the
system and must not hang over the sides. Allowing
the base of your TV to hang over any edge of this
speaker system increases the risk of tipping, which
may result in injury.
CAUTION:
If your TV comes with an anti-tip device, install it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and adjust the tether as instructed after placing the TV on top of the system.
Installing an anti-tip device is recommended when using a TV with this product. If your
TV did not come with an anti-tip device, you can get one from most retail suppliers.

SETUP SOUND STAND SYSTEM
If the TV base is too large
to t on top of the system, place the sound system
in another location such as an open shelf under the
TV, but keep it close to your TV so the audio cable
will reach. You also could mount your TV on the wall
above the system.
If placing the sound system backed up to a wall
make sure there is at least one-inch of space between
the wall and the rear of the system.
If placing the sound system in a cabinet
or on a shelf, position the front of the system as
close as possible to the front edge of the shelf for
optimum audio performance.
CAUTION:
With any placement of this product, make sure the ventilation openings on the rear
panel are not blocked.

available; optical being the rst choice, coaxial second and analog third.
