Placing your HEOS HomeCinema
The soundbar of the HEOS HomeCinema should be place as close as possible to the television screen. It should be centered left-to-right with the screen, and ideally no more than a few inches above or below. The most common location is below the screen. Sometimes this location can be difficult, because the base of the TV gets in the way. The HEOS HomeCinema has two sets of feet – 19 mm and 31 mm high – that raise the soundbar off the shelf, for a more stable and attractive installation when used with this type of television.
NOTE
Depending on your TV model or installation location, the remote control receiver on the TV may be hidden by the soundbar, preventing the remote control from being used because the remote control signals cannot reach the TV. In this case, connect the supplied IR Blaster. Attach the tip of the IR Blaster near the TV remote control signal receiver and check that the remote control can be used to control the TV.
You may also place HEOS HomeCinema soundbar on a shelf, or furniture, above or below the screen. It should be centered with the screen, and ideally no more than a few inches above or below. The system will usually sound best when the front of the soundbar is close to, or flush with, the front edge of the furniture or shelf on which it rests. This reduces unwanted sound reflections.
Place the wireless subwoofer anywhere in the room. For the best sound, place the subwoofer near a wall or corner, within 6 meters of the soundbar, and on the same side of the room as the soundbar. The wireless subwoofer range is 8 meters. Wireless subwoofer can be positioned vertically or horizontally. Attach the supplied non-slip stickers to the subwoofer.
NOTE
Don’t put the subwoofer where curtains or furniture will block the sound. The port on the back of the subwoofer cabinet should be unobstructed.
