Since the human ear cannot detect the direction and position where the bass sound being reproduced by a subwoofer (below 200 Hz) comes from, you can install the subwoofer wherever you like in your room. To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend you to install the subwoofer on a solid floor where the resonance is unlikely to occur.

Connect the front speakers to the amplifier. Connect the speakers to your amplifiers SPEAKER A terminals.

Always install the subwoofer vertically, keeping a few centimeters away from the wall. Do not place an object on the subwoofer or sit on it. If the subwoofer is installed in the center of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the subwoofer away from the center of a room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by installing a bookshelf on the wall, etc.
When using the double (A+B) sets of speakers, make sure that you select the A+B position with your amplifier.
When you are using SPEAKER A terminal (front speaker) only or when the power of the amplifier is turned off, turn down the volume or turn off the power of the subwoofer. Otherwise, hum noise may be heard.
