Europe UK/Singapore Australia AM189858_03_V.pdf December 20, 2001 5 Setting Up Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle 40 music system ® When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected and direct sound provides a lifelike stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You may experiment with the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube® speakers and Acoustimass® module to produce the sound most pleasing to you. For more discussion of speaker placement and room acoustics, see "Fine-tuning your system" on page 28. Jewel Cube speakers Follow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum stereo effect from your Lifestyle® 40 music system (Figure 2). 1. For the most lifelike sound, place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 feet (1.8-3.6 m) apart. They can be as close as 3 feet (1 m) or as far apart as 15 feet (4.6 m). 2. Place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface behind them. 3. Direct one cube of each speaker toward the center of the room. Direct the other cube toward a side wall to create reflected sound. CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces. For stability, peel off the backing from the two identical rubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on the bottom of each speaker. Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close to the TV without af fecting picture quality. Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books. Figure 2 Recommended speaker locations 6 December 20, 2001 AM189858_03_V.pdf Setting Up Acoustimass module ® Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module. Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the TV. 1. Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall or close to the same end of the room as the Jewel Cube® speakers. See the example in Figure 2. 2. Select a convenient location ­ under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module. 3. Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power (mains) outlet. 4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 3). For proper ventilation, place it on the long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest side, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end, as shown by the last two views in Figure 3. Figure 3 Acoustimass module positions Preferred position Treble Bass Alternate position ® RIGHT REAR LEFT REAR RIGHT FRONT CENTER LEFT FRONT ® OUTPUTS TO CUBE SPEAKERS 5. Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and protection from scratches. 6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port or creating too much bass. 7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or from a wall and the ceiling. CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on the end provide ventilation for the built-in electr onic circuitry, and should not be blocked.
