Attach the supplied rubber feet to thesoundbar as shown in the illustration.As long as the table’s surface is flat, the soundbar will rest on the rubber feet.Wall-Mounting the SoundbarIf your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mountthe soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of thesoundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.2. Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The holesfor the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart and are designed to accept#8 screws. The top and bottom holes for each bracket are spaced 25mm apart. Seethe illustration below.NOTE: To ensure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, laser sight orother device to ensure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height.3. If you are using the soundbar's optical digital audio input, select the extended wall-mount brackets. Otherwise, select the shallow wall-mount brackets.4. Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, usinghardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. Note that thesoundbar weighs 3.6kg (8 lb). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.5. After making all of the connections described in the Connections section, on page 7,attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its feet onto the brackets’vertical tabs.Placing the SubwooferSince our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwooferoperates, it will perform well from just about any location in your room. However, thestrongest bass reproduction is likely to be heard when the subwoofer is placed in acorner along the same wall as the soundbar.IMPORTANT: Make sure that the subwoofer’s rear panel is at least 150mm (6") fromthe wall to allow proper operation of its port tube opening.You can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer inthe listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to variouslocations in the room while the system is playing and listen until you find the locationwhere the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.IMPORTANT: The maximum wireless operating distance between the soundbar andsubwoofer is approximately 15.3m (50 feet).Slide Slots in Soundbar Feetonto Tabs on BracketsWhen Optical DigitalInput is Used When Optical Digital Inputis Not UsedSB 16 CTR SoundbarSubwooferSubwoofer Rear Panelat Least 150mm from Wall25mm600mm
