speaker unit is located there.

• Orient the subwoofer’s front face pointing

toward the listening position.

• The subwoofer plays back the bass in

monaural, making use of the fact that the

human ear is not very sensitive to the

direction of low-pitched sound. Because of

this, the subwoofer can be installed almost

anywhere. If it is installed too far away,

however, the sound from the other

speakers may become unnatural.

The degree of bass effect can be adjusted

by moving the unit farther from or closer to

the wall.
