Place the cube speakers in line with the horizontal centre of the TV screen or higher
Place the cube speakers 1.8 m to 4.5 m apart
All the cube speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to a monitor
The sound from the centre speaker should appear to come from the centre of the screen
Place the speaker either above or below the TV, in line with the vertical centre of the screen
The rear (surround) speakers should be located in the rear half of the room, preferably behind the listener
Place the speakers at ear level or higher if possible
If you have Jewel Cube® or Direct/Reflecting® cube speakers, one cube of the array should face directly into the room to provide direct sound, while the other faces a wall to provide reflected sound
Place the Acoustimass® module along the same wall as the TV
Do not block the vent openings at the back of the Acoustimass® module. This could cause the module to overheat
The Acoustimass® module can safely sit on its side, but do not stand it on the end with the port or on the end opposite the port
The Acoustimass® module is not magnetically shielded and must be placed at least 46 to 61 cm from a TV monitor
Note: Only CRT-style TVs are affected. This includes tube TVs and rear projection with CRTs.
