Notes

• Take following precautions when installing the Sound Bar and the subwoofer.
- Do not block the ventilation holes on the rear panel.
- Do not place the Sound Bar and the subwoofer in a metal cabinet.
- Do not place an object such as an aquarium between the Sound Bar and the subwoofer.
- Place the subwoofer close to the Sound Bar in a same room.
- When the Sound Bar is placed in front of a TV, the TV may not be controlled with the remote control of the TV. In that case, place the Sound Bar away from the TV. If the remote control of the TV still cannot control the TV, set "IR REP" of the AMP menu to "ON" (page 29).
- Make sure that the remote control of the TV cannot control the TV, then set "IR REP" to "ON". If it is set to "ON" when the remote control can control the TV, appropriate operation may not be obtained, because of the interference between the direct command from the remote control and the command via the Sound Bar.

Installing the Sound Bar on a rack

To install the Sound Bar facing front
