3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-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).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding
mode” on page 33).
Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (Left)
Sub woofer
Surround speaker (Left)
Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FV10D (HT-5950DP only) or
WS-FV11 floor stand (available only in certain countries).
• You can also install the front, surround and surround back speakers on the wall (see page 17).
Note
Connect the long sp eaker conn ecting cords to the surround and surround back speaker terminals and the short speaker
connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.
Attaching foot pads
To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the
illustration below.

Installing the speakers on the
wall
You can install your front, surround and
surround back speakers on the wall.
1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are
suitable for the metal hook on the back
of each speaker. See the illustrations
below.

Notes
• 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.
