provides an immersive audio and sound experience by creating a sense
of sounds not only coming from behind, but also above the listener. For
details, see the following:
• “Playback with 3D surround sound/surround sound”(p.28)
Wireless subwoofer
The supplied wireless subwoofer enables more dynamic audio playback.
Transmission of 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video

sources such as a TV, media streaming device, gaming console, or set-top
box. For details, see the following:
• “Supported HDMI audio and video formats”(p.57)
Link functions of a TV and the unit are available using the TV’s remote
control. When a TV that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) is used,
this ARC-compatible unit can be connected to the TV via a single HDMI
cable. For details, see the following:
• “Using a TV’s remote control to operate the unit (HDMI
control)”(p.32)
• “Connecting a TV that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)”(p.18)

1 Installation
Installing the unit
Install the unit as shown in the following illustration.
Install the subwoofer externally of the center unit. To prevent sound
from reflecting off of walls, angle the subwoofer slightly toward the
center of the room.
n NOTICE
• Do not stack the center unit and any other device directly on each other. Doing so
may cause a malfunction due to vibrations.
• Do not apply excessive force to the unit when moving it. Doing so may damage the
speakers or the portion covered with fabric.
• Avoid the following when installing the subwoofer to prevent any loss in sound
volume.
– Installing the subwoofer so that the speaker (portion covered with fabric) is too
close to a wall.
– Covering the subwoofer’s bass reflex port.
• The subwoofer can only be used in its upright position. Do not position the
subwoofer on its side.
• The unit contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place magnetically
sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near the unit.
• Do not place objects such as metallic furniture between the center unit and the
subwoofer as such objects may interfere with wireless communication.
n NOTE
The center unit can also be mounted on a wall. For details, see the following:

n What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?
In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be connected to the

Return Channel (ARC), TV audio signals can be input to the unit via the HDMI cable that
outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.
n NOTE
• Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack (the jack with
“ARC” indicated) on TV.
• Enable the HDMI control function of the unit to activate the Audio Return Channel
(ARC). For details, see the following:
– “Configuring the HDMI control function”(p.36)
• Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it.
• Keep the cable as short as possible to prevent any degradation in signal quality.
• Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content.
• The TV input jack cannot be used when a TV that supports the Audio Return Channel is
connected to the unit.
