Connecting Your Speakers—Continued

Wall Mounting

The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers to the rear of each speaker.

To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.

Caution:

Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets

Threaded inserts for machine screws are provided on the rear of each speaker for wall-mounting with commer- cially available speaker mounts or brackets. North American models require 1/4-inch screws. Other models require M5 (5 mm) screws. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installation details.

Threaded insert

Note:

The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker’s threaded insert should be between 1/4" – 5/16" (5 mm – 8 mm) long.

Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform

We recommend using the provided rubber stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, pro- viding a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the center speaker, and thin stoppers for the other speakers.

A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.
