Yes, To get the best sound it should face forward. You can still turn it of you want to.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi John, Thank you so much for your question. It is not necessary. You can install the subwoofer in the place that you want because the output sound from it has no directivity. On placement, please take note of the following: • Do not place the subwoofer near heat sources or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock. • Do not place metal objects other than a TV around the subwoofer. Wireless functions may be unstable. • If the subwoofer is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, noise may result and picture quality may suffer. In such a case, place the subwoofer away from the TV, VCR, or tape deck. • Use caution when placing the subwoofer on a surface that has been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.), as staining or discoloration of the surface may result. • The speakers of this subwoofer are not of magnetically shielded type. Do not place magnetic cards on the subwoofer or near it. • Install the subwoofer with the slit on the bottom (refer to manuals). The subwoofer is not designed to be installed in a different orientation. Our HT-A9 Home Theater System, HT-A7000, HT-A5000 and HT-A3000 Soundbars and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. The design of the SA-SW5 is a perfect match for these systems. Sophisticated round edges represent a single solid block of room-filling sound. The rich materials and minimalist design fits seamlessly into any living room environment. Regards, Jess
