WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR BAR

FOR THE BEST

SOUND

It's easy. The bar

comes

with rubber

feet

already attached,

so it will sit securely on any flat

su

rface.

Just

center the bar

under your

1V

screen.

If

your

1V

is

housed in a med

ia

center,

you

can

place

the

bar above the

1V

.

If your

1V

is

wa

ll

mounted, the bar can

mount

ri

ght

beneath

it. The bar

ha

s built-

in

keyhole slots that make

it

easy.

Note: The rubber

feet

are detachable and may be removed

entirely (for

wa

ll

-mounting the

bar)

or

moved along the

botto

m

surface

of

the bar, depending upon your installation.

WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR SUBWOOFER

FOR THE BEST

SOUND

Your wire

le

ss

subwoofer

is really easy to place and

ca

n

go

ju

st

about anywhere in the room. Plus you

don't

have

to

worry

about conn

ect

ing wires, because the only

wire

you have

to

plug in is

the

power

cord. And that's it.

Here's a little trick: If you place

your subwoofer

in

a co

rn

er of

your room, it will reinforce the

sub

woo

fer's ou

tput

, making

it

sound louder.

HOW

TO CONNECT YOUR BAR

This is really

eas

y too.

You

likely

ha

ve many sources for your

audio signal: your

TV,

your DVD player, or a cable/satellite box.

The bar

is

able to accept audio from up

to

four different sources.

Th

e simplest approach

is

to connect the optical audio output of

your

TV

to the optical input on the back of the

bar.

This
