Example of multi angle
speaker configuration
Installing the speakers
on the wall
Speakers can be placed on a flat surface or
installed on walls (page 14). You may
position the speakers at different angles to
achieve optimum sound quality.
Getting Started
Installing the speakers
on a flat surface
Before you install the front speakers, center
speaker and surround speakers, be sure to
attach the supplied food pads as shown in
the illustration below. This prevents
vibration or movement and reduce
scratches.

that are suitable for the hook on
the back of each speaker. See
the illustrations below.

Notes
• You may install your speaker at different angles
to achieve optimum sound quality (page 14).
• 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.
Getting Started
• 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.
Step 2: Connecting the System
Do not connect the AC power cord (mains
lead) of the main unit to a wall outlet
(mains) until all the other connections are
made.
Note
When you connect other equipment with a
volume control, turn down the volume of the
equipment to a level where sound is not distorted.
