Notes

• Some functions explained in this section may not work depending on the model.

• The above explanation is intended to serve as an example only. Therefore, depending on the component, the above operation may not be possible or may operate differently than described.

Getting Started

1: Installing the speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 5 channel speaker with 2 subwoofers 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 subwoofer (5.1 channel).

Example of 5 channel speaker with 2 subwoofers system configuration

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

Before you install the center speaker, surround speakers and subwoofers, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below.

AFront speaker (left) BFront speaker (right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (left) ESurround speaker (right) FSubwoofer GSubwoofer

Tip

Since the subwoofers do not emit highly directional

signals, you can place them wherever you want.

Installing the speakers on the wall

You can install your surround speakers on the wall.

3 Hang the speakers on the

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.
