Getting Started

Installing the speakers on a wall

Caution

Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.

Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

Before installing the speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker.

Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #.
