Installation
This unit reflects sound beams off of walls to create the surround sound effect. The position of this unit in relation to both the listening position and walls is important to achieving the
desired surround sound effects. When installing this unit on a rack behind which there is limited space, for example, it may be easier to connect external devices to this unit first. This
will depend upon the installation location. See “Connections” (p. 24) for more information.
Notes
• Be sure to install this unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
• The subwoofer speakers are not magnetically shielded. Do not install hard disk drives or similar devices near the subwoofer.
• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Heat and vibrations may result in damage or malfunction.
Recommended place for installation
• Install the center unit in the center of the left and right
walls.
• Place the center unit on a TV stand in front of the TV*.
• This unit can be mounted on a wall using the optional
Wall Mount Bracket SPM-K20 (p. 19).
* Use the TV Remote Repeater function if the center unit
obstructs the remote control sensor on the TV (p. 15).
If the center unit cannot be installed on a TV stand
because the stand is too high, the height of the center
unit can be adjusted (p. 16).
• The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be
located at the front of the center unit.
• The distance between the listening position and the
center unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
Center unit
• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the
subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room.
• When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be sure
the rack is strong enough to support the subwoofer
and that it leaves sufficient space for heat
discharge.
• The subwoofer can also be placed on its side
(p. 18).
Subwoofer
• To achieve desired surround sound effects, be
sure that obstacles such as furniture may not
obstruct the path of sound beams (p. 12).
❑ Wireless connections
The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the
subwoofer and the center unit. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 29).
PREPARATIONS ➤ Installation En 11
Example for installing the unit
This unit outputs sound beam as shown in the illustrations below. Install this unit where
there are no obstacles such as furniture obstructing the path of sound beams.
Otherwise, the desired surround sound effects may not be achieved.
You may install this unit in parallel with the wall or in the corner.
Parallel installation
Install this unit in the exact center of the wall when it is measured from the left and right
corners.
Corner installation
Install this unit in the corner at a 40° to 50° angle from the adjacent walls.

Installing in a non-square room
Install this unit so that the sound beams can be reflected off the walls.
Irregularly shaped rooms with solid walls on all sides
Irregularly shaped rooms that are open to a hallway on one side
• If this unit cannot be repositioned, or the listening position cannot be changed, the optional YRB-100 sound
reflection board may be installed for a better surround sound experience (p. 73).
PREPARATIONS ➤ Installation En 13
Example for installing the unit in living room
• As sound beams normally pass through tables, tables are not obstacles. And a
cupboard installed facing the wall reflects sounds.
• In a case of the listening room as shown in the illustration below, adjusting the position
of the right channel after AUTO SETUP (p. 32) enables to achieve more desired
surround sound effects (p. 55).
• As the curtains absorb sounds, the sound features of the listening room is different
from the case with the curtain opened and the case with the curtain closed. Using
saving settings function enables to save the best settings for each case of listening
room (p. 47).
Objects, such as
furniture
Unrecommended listening environments
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of
your listening room. The surround sound effects produced by this unit may not be
sufficient when this unit is installed in the following locations.
• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls
• Rooms with measurements outside the following range:
W (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft)) × H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to 11.5 ft)) ×
D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))
• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct the path of sound beams
• Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from the listening position to this unit
• Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls
• Rooms where the listening position is not in front of this unit
Enjoying surround effects regardless of conditions (My Surround)
The My Surround function creates rich surround sound effects in rooms with less than
optimal surround sound conditions. See “Switching between audio output methods for
surround playback” (p. 42, 43) for more information.

If the TV remote control does not work properly after the center unit is installed (TV Remote Repeater function)
When the TV Remote Repeater function is enabled, the unit receives TV remote control
signals at the TV remote control sensor (on front) and transmits the signals from the TV
Remote Repeater (on rear). This function is useful when you cannot operate your TV
from the remote control because the remote control sensor of the TV is blocked by the
unit.
• This function can be used while the TV remote control is using infrared signals.
