24 24SPEAKER PLACEMENTSubwoofer PlacementThe subwoofer’s location is less critical, since low-frequency soundsare omnidirectional. Placing the subwoofer close to a wall or in a cornerwill reinforce the low frequencies, and may create a “boomy” sound.Experiment by placing the subwoofer where the listener normally sitsand then walk around the room until the low frequencies sound best.Place the subwoofer in that spot.In some installations it may be desirable to use two subwoofers fora 7.2-channel system. This is easily done by purchasing an optionalY-Adapter with one male RCA plug and two female RCA jacks. Connectthe male jack to the Subwoofer output on the AVR’s rear panel, andthen run a standard interconnect cable from the Y-Adapter to the LineInput of each subwoofer. You may then place the two speakers as bestsuits the requirements of the room and your listening preferences.NOTE: Your receiver will sound its best when the same modelloudspeaker is used for all positions (other than the subwoofer).If that isn’t possible, try to use speakers made by the samemanufacturer.
