Mounting the front and surround speakers

You can place the front and surround speakers (and surround back speaker in an NS-P246 system) on a shelf or rack, set them on the floor, or mount them on a wall or speaker stand.

To mount the speakers on a wall:

1.Affix screws to a firm wall or wall support as shown below. (Use tapping screws 3.5 to 4mm in diameter.)

2. Suspend the speaker by mounting the holes in the speaker’s back panels on the protruding screws.

Note: Make sure that the screws are securely affixed in the narrow part of the holes.

Cautions:

Each front or surround speaker weighs 0.9 kg

(2.0 lbs.). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or on a wall made of soft surface material. Otherwise, the screws may pull out of the surface and the speak- ers may fall, possibly damaging the speakers or caus- ing personal injury.

Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails, adhe- sives, or unstable hardware. Long term use and vibra- tion may cause the speakers to fall.

To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, affix the cables to the wall.

Mount the speakers in a wall location that will be unlikely to result in injury to an individual’s head.

To attach to a bracket:

1.Attach a bracket (part number AAX34790) to the bottom of the speaker using a screw (part number AAX12390) such that the convex part of the bracket fits over the groove in the bottom of the speaker, as shown below.

2.Mount the speaker on the speaker stand by affix- ing a pair of screws through the outside bracket holes.
