1: Installing the speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel
system (5 speakers and one sub woofer).
To fully enjoy theatre-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker, and two
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1
channel).
Example of a 5.1 channel
speaker system configuration
Installing the speakers on a flat
surface
Before you install the speakers and sub
woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads
to prevent vibration or movement as shown in
the illustration below.
Installing the speakers on the
speaker stand
For greater flexibility in positioning the
speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 speaker
stand (available only in certain countries). For
details, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the speaker stand.

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
