Getting Started

To install the speakers on a wall

Before installing the speakers on a wall,

connect the speaker cord to the speaker. For

details, see “Connecting the speakers”

(page 20).

Caution

• 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 and

fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a

vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is

applied.

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the

wall material or screws to be used.

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage

caused by improper installation, insufficient wall

strength or improper screw installation, natural

calamity, etc.

1Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on

the back of each speaker. See

the illustrations below.

2Fasten the screws to the wall.

The screws should protrude

8 mm to 10 mm.
