Recommended speaker installation

How to use the speaker stabilizer (cushions)

When the surround speaker system installation is unstable due to the floor condition, apply the provided stabilizer (cushions) on four positions on the bottom of each speaker.

It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly behind, at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener’s ears. Each surround speaker should be installed so that the longer sides are horizontal.

Hanging on a wall (CRS-N553 / CRS-N503)

The speakers can be hung on a wall by using the wall hanging holes on the back of the speaker.When hanging the speakers, select a rigid and hard place on the wall which can withstand the weight of the speakers.

1. Install a screw with sufficient strength on the wall. When screwing in, leave the head and upper stem of the screw projected by 7 to 9 mm from the wall surface.

2. Hang the speaker by inserting the screw into the wall hanging hole on the upper rear side of the speaker. Check that the speaker are firmly mounted.

÷ Before installation, check the wall or ceiling well to confirm that it is strong enough to withstand the weight of the

speaker. KENWOOD cannot assume the responsibility against accidents caused by the drop of speaker due to insufficient mounting strength or to any defect in installation.

÷ The wall hanging screw is not provided. Please prepare a screw that can assure enough mounting strength according

to the material and thickness (structure) of the wall where the speaker is to be hung.

÷ If the material or thickness of a wall or ceiling cannot be confirmed, consult a professional specialized in installation.
