3: Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 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).
Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration
Getting Started
Center speaker
Front speaker (Left)
Sub woofer
Surround speaker (Left)
Tips
• 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-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand (available only in certain countries).
• You can also install the surround speakers on the wall (page 14).
Note
Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.

more than 25 mm (1 inch)
3 Hang the speakers on the screws.
Hole on the back of the speaker
4.6 mm (3/16 inch)

Hole on the back of the speaker
2 Fasten the screws to the wall. The
screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm (7/32 to 9/32 inch).
5 to 7 mm
(7/32 to 9/32 inch)
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.
