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 speakers

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).

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

AFront speaker (Left) BFront speaker (Right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (Left) ESurround speaker (Right) FSub woofer

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). Be sure to detach the screw from the speaker and use it when you install the speaker to the speaker stand. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand.

Installing the speakers on the wall

You can install your front and surround 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.

2 Fasten the screws to the wall.

The screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm.

5 to 7 mm

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.
