1: Installing the speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 6 channel speaker with 4 subwoofer 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).

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded sound in the Surround EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see “Using the surround back decoding mode (SUR BACK DECODING)”) on page 43.

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

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

Installing the speakers on the wall

You can install your surround and surround back speakers on the wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hook on the back of each speaker as shown in 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.
