original two-profile design.\u00a0When installed in front of a TV, the soundbar is placed with the wide side up so as not to block the IR receiver of the TV, and when mounted on the wall, it is placed with the wide side forward.\u00a0The configuration of the speakers, combined with special sound processor processing, allows you to get the optimal audio stage in any placement of the Yamaha YAS-108.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-154971\"
